Possible compatiblity issues with 875 Neo...

Just noticed something strange...
I'm currently using an ATI 9700 pro card,which is one of the first revisions,since i purchased it last september(Rev 1.2),and while i installed the latest drivers for it,which were released just today(CAT 3.5's),the system was crashing to the desktop left and right on any game,regardless if it was opengl or Direct 3D,sometimes the system just completely froze altogether,forcing a hard reboot ....
After quite a few restarts and making sure that the driver was properly installed,i disabled AGP 8x and fastwrites, using ATI's smartgart uitility and the problems completely vanished....
Thing is,i was using AGP 8x with the 9700 pro when the board was still running bios 1.4 without any issues(fastwrites was still disabled though),so is it possible for MSI to check it out themselves...

This is what I did always when I want to find out whether 2 or more drivers/firmwares/BIOS work as unite... I\'ll have to test them in sets... i.e 1.4 BIOS to 3.5 Catalyst > 1.4 BIOS to previous versions of catalyst > 1.5 BIOS to 3.5 catalyst > 1.5 BIOS to previous catalyst.  
This may seems tedious but this is one of the ways to get things tested and confirmed that they run smoothly if you wan to upgrade BIOS/drivers etc...
Be warned that if you flash your BIOS incorrectly, there\'s a high risk of mobo failure.
All the Best... :D!!!
Did further testing,and the problem is repeatable....
At AGP 8x settings,any game will either lock up hard,forcing a reboot,or the screen will go blank while the game sound keeps going,all in the first 30 sec to 2 min of starting the game,regardless if it's a direct 3d or opengl game...
At AGP 4x,everything runs smoothly for hours on end,so it's definately something between the 9700 pro and the latest bios for the board as far as AGP 8x compatibility goes...
I know that there's no performance difference between AGP 8x and 4X,but still,i know that the card can run with AGP 8x just fine,because it did with bios 1.2~1.4,so would it be possible for you to report this back to MSI,thanks... 8)

  • "Possible precedence issue with control flow operator"

    Hi guys
    I have following Problem:
    Yesterday I made a distribution update from debian wheezy to debian jessie.
    Since then I got a problem with a plugin which I'm using for Icinga a monitoring system.
    When I run it, I got the error that there is an "Undefined subroutine".
    I read on google that I can fix it, with reinstalling the vsphere SDK, but the installation stuck at "CPAN is downloading and installing pre-requisite Perl module "SOAP::Lite"".
    I can skip this step with Ctrl+C and at the end it says "This installer has successfully installed...".
    But when I run the Plugin I get the error message "Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at /usr/share/perl/5.20/VMware/VICommon.pm line 2147." and the whole plugin stucks.
    I tried the following step which I found in this forum and the error message doesn't appear, but the plugin still stucks...
    Re: VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-5.5.0-1384587 broken with perl 5.20
    I have also Perl 5.20.2...
    Can you guys help me?
    Vinzenz

    Ok I could fix it...
    I changed the line 2147 to
    return (defined $user_agent->cookie_jar and
                      $user_agent->cookie_jar->as_string ne '');
    And this time I waited for a long time and I get a error message that there is a problem with SOAP.
    The solution was to downgrade Net-HTTP and libwww-perl with following commands:
    perl -MCPAN -e shell
    o conf urllist push http://backpan.perl.org
    install GAAS/Net-HTTP-6.03.tar.gz
    install GAAS/libwww-perl-6.03-tar.gz
    The second Command loads older releases to the urllist.
    Thx for your help and I hope I could help others with the same problem.

  • Deployment issue: compatiblity issue with ODP, instant vs full client on PC

    After a lot of deployment issues with full client, we thought we had the solution with Instant Client.
    It worked great for a while, but now some of our users have full Oracle 11 client installed after installing our Instant Client because of other software that requires full client.
    As soon as they install full client, our Instant Client breaks:
    Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. (mscorlib)
    The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory' threw an exception.
    The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client (Oracle Data Provider for .NET)
    Our instant client is compiled with 2.111.6.20, the client is installing a different version (though I tried installing exactly same version does not seem to work either)
    I've been experimenting to redirect the version to another assembly but no success.
    How can I make Instant Client and Full client co-exist? The whole idea of using Instant was to be independent of other software who needs ODP.NET...
    What do you do when 2 apps need different versions of ORacle ODP.NET (e.g. 2.111.6.0 vs. 2.112.1.0)?
    Note that I don't have source code access to "our" app, so if it is at all possible through configuration, that is a prefered solution.
    I also don't control our customers deployment strategy, they roll out apps over 1000's of PC's

    According to documentation at [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20434_01/doc/win.112/e23174/featConfig.htm]
    >
    Configuration File Support
    For customers who have numerous applications on a computer that depends on a single version of ODP.NET, the Windows Registry settings for a given version of ODP.NET may not necessarily be applicable for all applications that use that version of ODP.NET. To provide more granular control, ODP.NET Configuration File Support allows developers to specify ODP.NET configuration settings in an application config, web.config, or a machine.config file.
    If a computer does not require granular control beyond configuration settings at the ODP.NET version level, there is no need to specify ODP.NET configuration settings through configuration files.
    The following is an example of a web.config file for .NET Framework 2.0 and higher:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <configuration>
    <oracle.dataaccess.client>
    <settings>
    <add name="DllPath" value="C:\oracle\bin"/>
    <add name="FetchSize" value="131072"/>
    <add name="PromotableTransaction" value="promotable"/>

  • Possible GPU Issues With Camera Raw 6.6

    Over the past day on my Windows 7 x64 workstation I've done some updates.  Specifically:
    The Adobe updater brought in Camera Raw 6.6, replacing 6.5.
    I updated the to the ATI Catalyst 11.12 display driver version from previous version 11.11.
    I allowed Windows Update to apply the dozen or so changes that were pending.
    I was just doing some OpenGL testing with Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 x64 and I noticed that under some conditions I saw Photoshop drop out of OpenGL acceleration.  Specifically, when I opened a Canon 5D Mark II image through Camera Raw I saw subsequent operations stop using OpenGL acceleration even though the checkmark remained in the [  ] Enable OpenGL Drawing box in Edit - Preferences - Performance.
    What I did to determine whether OpenGL acceleration was enabled was this:  Select the Zoom Tool, then click and hold the left mouse button on the image.  When OpenGL is enabled, I see a smooth increase in zoom.  When it goes disabled, I see only a jump in zoom level after letting up the mouse button.  Also, the [  ] Scrubby Zoom box gets grayed out.  As I mentioned, even in this condition, a check of Edit - Preferences - Performance still shows OpenGL enabled.
    Just as a control, I saved the converted file as a PSD, and every time I opened THAT file (with a fresh copy of PS CS5 running) and did the same operations I could not reproduce the failure.  The difference being I did not run Camera Raw.
    Since I wasn't specifically looking for issues with Camera Raw, I am not sure that the problem occurred every time I did run Camera Raw.  I do know that when I open images from my own camera (40D; I do not own a 5D Mark II) that the problem doesn't seem to occur.  Notably I always open my image from Camera Raw to the largest possible pixel size - 6144 x 4096, as I did with the 5D Mark II image, so it's not an obvious size difference that's leading to the issue.  Given other comments of late, I'm wondering if it could be a specific issue with conversions of files from 5D Mark II.
    Nor am I sure whether any of the above updates caused it - it might done this before; I don't regularly convert 5D Mark II images.  I DO think I would have noticed Photoshop reverting to GDI operation before, since I just noticed it pretty easily, but I'm not completely sure of that either.  I do use OpenGL-specific features (such as right-click brush sizing) pretty often.
    I'm trying now to find a set of steps with which to reliably reproduce the problem now, and will advise.
    -Noel

    Figures.  Now I can't reproduce the problem at all, even after an hour of testing.  It probably had nothing to do with Camera Raw.
    I wonder if there are latent GPU status indicators and config values stored by Photoshop based on its specific environment that might not be right for the first run (or first few runs) after a display driver update.  Hm....

  • Possible DNS issue with AirPort Express basestation?

    Hi all -
    Up until recently my Airport Express has been working great. This past weekend I started noticing that website browsing became slow, and some websites would not come up at all (e.g. popular sites like wordpress.org).
    Otherwise my internet connection works fine (email works, browsing for the most part is normal for all computers on the network, pc and mac).
    I read that this could be a possible DNS issue. I unplugged the AE basestation and plugged my Powerbook directly into my cable modem and was able to get to all websites that I couldn't get to while using the AE. That, and browsing was a heck of a lot faster (it seemed).
    Can anyone help me out and point me to a specific setting on the AE that I can toggle, correct, whatever, to solve this (possible) DNS issue?
    Thanks!
    Jeff

    Dear Henry, Thanks for your reply, and we are sorry for having intruded upon the wrong thread with our troubles. Perhaps you could point us to the most pertinent thread. Further pushing credulity Might you assist us further?... We have checked every floor in the building and no new equip has been added, though I can't speculate on the 'hood at large. We added a Time Capsule to the mix hoping that might bring back some stability and speed, but results aren't very promising so far. perhaps you might point us to a resource for professional help, or web sites that may help us define and implement something beyond the ad hoc system we have currently. We have read through the Apple docs regarding Designing Networks, and though informative they don't necessarily explain the nuances / consequences of different configurations, for instance, that WDS will adversely affect net speed. Thanks in advance for your input (should you wish to assist). If you are so inclined I can provide the snap shot of our list of hardware. And again apologies if we are in the wrong place.

  • Possibly why issues with Apple TV & iTunes...

    Over the past 24 hours I have had terrible trouble with my Apple TV & iTunes setup - I've never had any issues until now so you can imagine I hit these forums looking for an answer pretty much right away.
    I've got an Apple TV 2.0 (160gb) & Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) running 10.5.2 connected over wifi using an Airport Extreme Base Station.
    I've got iTunes 7.6.2 and didn't have a problem when running 7.6.0...
    The AEBS is NOT setup for 802.11n as my Mac Mini only supports 802.11g. I have therefore got it setup for g-only (so no issues with wide channels etc on 802.11n).
    I started using playlists last week to sync tv shows and movies (my kids always watch the same movies and tv shows over and over so it is the best way to keep these shows on the apple TV and add new content as and when I like).
    Everything was working just fine until I added a couple of tv shows yesterday - then the apple TV decided to not play well with iTunes....or rather iTunes kept dropping the Apple TV and would not see it again until restarting iTunes.
    Through a tortuous process of elimination I think I may have found the solution to my problem...
    Here is what I have done so far :
    1 - Reset my Apple TV back to factory defaults (v1.1) - iTunes still drops the connection to the Apple TV when syncing
    Note: At this point I should have realised it's an iTunes problem and not the Apple TV, however I ploughed on...
    2 - Upgraded Apple TV to 2.0 - still no joy with syncing the tv/movies playlists
    3 - Sync'd just photos and music to the Apple TV overnight - no problem
    4 - Sync'd one movie (no playlist) this morning - no problem
    5 - Sync'd one set of kids TV shows (no playlist) - no problem
    I checked the console at steps 1 & 2 above and found iTunes complaining about "can't read data length" when it drops the Apple TV.
    So to cut this long story short - the problems I am seeing are likely a corrupt file or a corrupt playlist.
    YMMV of course!
    Kind regards,
    Alex.

  • IDVD (possibly iLife) issues with Snow Leopard

    So I've been trying to create a wedding dvd from a video that I recorded for them. I've done this before (on Leopard) and everything worked fine. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard (including a fresh install) this doesn't seem to work.
    Basically iDVD wouldn't launch completely. It would let me select 'create a new project' and then load the themes but the project screen wouldn't open. When I'd go to the file menu and open/close etc the main screen would pop up asking me to cancel, save or don't save the current project. Regardless of which option I chose, the program would freeze and I would have to force quit.
    This was on top of issues with iMovie in which I couldn't select the transitions options without iMovie crashing.
    Now having searched the internet high and low for solutions, it seems quite a lot of people are having issues with this and I think I know why. Those people having issues seem to be the ones who have iLife on their Tiger setup cd's that came with their macbook/desktop.
    Now just so you know I have done all the selected solutions such as removing the preference file from library, repairing disk permissions, reinstalling iLife, reinstalling iDVD without the rest of the bundled software. I even went to the extremes of formatting my hard drive and installing Snow Leopard from scratch and this didn't work. So I thought I'd try upgrading to Snow Leopard from Leopard, again the same issue arose.
    It got to the stage where I actually ended up going back to Tiger (10.4) and finishing the dvd and burning it. Now with iDVD and iMovie working fine I decided to upgrade back to Snow Leopard, and low and behold, iDVD isn't working.
    I really hope Apple are aware of the issue because it seems to be an problem with people installing the bundled software which came with their macbook/desktop on a version of Leopard/Snow Leopard and it not working.
    I'm going to take my macbook into the store soon/and or call Apple Care and request a new install disk of iLife to try and eliminate the issues because when I'm creating a movie, I don't expect to have to roll back to 2 previous OSX version's before my software works.
    If anyone has any suggestions, please fire them my way.

    While 7.0.4 may work fine with your version of 10.6.2, it doesn't work for others. You'll notice quite a few posts in this section of users with the same error.
    The only issue I can assume, as mentioned in the original post, is users who are installing iLife from the original installation CD's provided when I bought my Macbook (which came preinstalled with Tiger). The iLife software comes bundled on two cd's, which I and other users install from. Hence it's the only thing the users who are installing and having issues with have in common.
    I could understand if it was only me having issues and if these issues resolved themselves from a fresh, clean install after a reformat, but that's not the case.
    I'll call Apple Care tomorrow and see what they think.

  • Browser usually crashes whenever I want to upload a Word or PDF file? is that an OS issue or compatible issue with Word for Mac

    A lot of times I would have to reset Safari while I do this and then it might work afterwards, I just find it annoying and time consuming, sometimes I might have to reboot my machine as well. Not sure whether it's an OS issue or an issue with Word that the system doesn't like word too much. I get the spinning ball and I have to do a hard force quit using my keyboard in order to stop the browser when it stops responding, then go ahead and reset safari like I stated previously.

    I have tried Opera, which is somewhat better but it crashes if I have to look for the file within the system like with Safari, it will by default look on the desktop, if I try to change it to documents for example that's when it can go crazy, with Opera it will by default open in documents but say if I wanted to change it to desktop to look for the file, it can go loopy. Looks like it either the browser or OS doesn't like changing different folders to upload files.
    How's Firefox on a Mac? is it better than on Windows?

  • Possible Security issue with .zip files

    I found a potential issue with expanding .zip files. In the cases I've seen, the .zip files were created on Windows using Winzip. After copying the files to my OS X system, I double-clicked the file to expand the files and folders. (In this case the zip files was a Ruby on Rails web application.) In looking at the files in the terminal, all the files had wide open permission - 777 - all users had full access to all files!
    I had to go through and reset the permissions (755 for folders, 644 for files), and had to reset the execute permission on the Ruby script files.
    I'm going to test some more with more zip files, but this could be a potentially huge problem.
    Also, I noticed that the files had the "extended attribute" of com.apple.quarantine set on each file - which I assume is being set as a function of being downloaded via Safari from my webmail (Gmail) account. The .zip file had this attribute set, and when expanded it propagated to each file and folder.

    The files don't have any security on them from windows - windows doesn't know anything about unix permissions.
    I've compressed other files and folders on Windows and decompressed them in Tiger without a problem. I would think, at a minimum, the files would inherit the permissions of the parent folder I expanded them into.

  • SLI compatiblity issues with NF980-G65

    Hi, I consider myself average for tech knowledge.  Just enough to get myself into trouble.
    I currently have a  NF980-G65.  I just upgraded to a second GTX 470 from nVidia for SLI.  However when I run any application that is SLI compatible the bottom half of the screen shakes and wobbles.  This happens even if I swap GPU positions on the board, so I know its not the GPU itself, and only happens when SLI is enabled.  I contacted nVidia, we troubleshot for a while, but they concluded it was the BIOS.  I tried finding an updated BIOS on the site, but it seems the latest version isn't compatible with Windows 7 64bit.
    At this point I'm at a loss as to what to do to fix this.

    Quote from: UnseenGuardian on 03-August-10, 03:31:05
    I am having very similar problems, same mobo as you but different cards. I noticed this right away after building the rig and playing Starcraft 2, bottom half of screen glitches and flashes. Cards are both good. I have narrowed it down as well to something in the SLI bridge (or the way the PCI bus is used with the bridges connected), because once removed the problem goes away.
    Now I have done benchmarking in Heaven Benchmark 2.0, and have found about a 3-5% drop in frame rates with the SLI Bridge REMOVED. This is not very significant, so at worse case scenario you could try leaving the bridge off and benchmarking to see if you get similar results.
    I would obviously prefer to have a bridge for the extra boost in performance but with the glitches I would rather have them gone.
    I would like to try this to see if I can have the best SLI performance and no glitching, mrinfinit3, could you help a guy out with a link to how you got your asus SLI bridge? I am concerned that if I buy a 'hard bridge' it won't fit as all mobo manufacturers seem to have slightly different distances between slots.
    I'm sorry it took so long to reply to ya bud... ya here's the link http://estore.asus.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=229
    I'm using 2 of them (one on each finger) you'll notice rite away that they fit better (more resistance when sliding the on)
    I personally got mine from misc. asus builds Ive done for customers here in @ the shop. I have an asus hard bridge but it's slightly too long for the 16x-16x slots.. but since this issue has happened..
    I'm getting a rather large collection of MSI bridges now. lol

  • Colour (possibly profile) issues with certain objects

    Hi,
    I'm trying to put together my folio but have run into a frustrating issue.
    As the file is a web PDF, it's obviously RGB (sRGB to be specific). All of my swatches have RGB values, all of my links have embedded Adobe RGB (1998) or sRGB profiles.
    The main issue is, a link on one page (PNG-24) shows correct colours, while on another it seems to be bluer in shadow tones. I found that what's causing it is any of my other objects that have blending modes activated:
    Two different rectangles with RGB swatches, Multiply, 62% Transparency
    Two identical JPG textures. One on background layer and one a top layer which is set to Color Burn
    Once all of these are removed, the effected object returns to its correct tones, but if even one of the above objects returns anywhere to the spread, the colour goes off again. Similarly, if any of these objects are taken to another page, other swatches used (say a solid rectangle) are effected.
    It's driving me insane and I've tried everything I know. Any ideas? I have a feeling this may have something to do with blending modes, but I just don't understand why it would.

    Yep, that was it
    I knew it had to be something along those lines, but I honestly expected that sort of thing to be within Color Settings; maybe I should have just looked two menu items up
    Thanks for the help. Seems it's getting harder and harder to find what you're looking for on Google these days when all you have is vague keywords... Yay SEO (sarcasm)

  • How can I resolve as possible security issue with unauthorized computers through QuickTime , as a diagnostic and screen shots show evidence of a Mac computer and I don't have one?

    II'm trying to resolve an issue that I have with my iPhone 4s through QuickTime. I think it might be an embedded mms that might broadcasts my info as well as allows remote access sometimes. Any answers or similar activity?, I can support with screenshots of public information . This shows in my emIl accounts as well.

    Is your phone jailbroken? If it is not, you're probably not seeing what you think you're seeing. If your phone hasn't been jailbroken, it's certainly not being controlled remotely. What do you mean by an "embedded mms"? Are you sharing an Apple ID with anyone? Or could someone have gotten access to your Apple ID information?

  • A question on possible known issue with an antivirus program

    Hi -
    My antivirus anti-malware program is Webroot. I've had good luck with it. My version is 7 and my subscription will expire in 2 days. However, version 7 is no longer available for renewal.
    They now require that I upgrade to version 8, better known as Secure Anywhere. About 5 months ago, I tried Secure Anywhere on a free trial basis and - at that time - there was a conflict with Firefox, causing it to crash every few minutes. With other browsers, it was fine.
    Before I spend $39.95 to renew Webroot and upgrade to Secure Anywhere, can anyone tell me if this issue has now been resolved?
    If so, I will renew Webroot and upgrade to Secure Anywhere. I'd like to keep Webroot, as other security programs have caused me issues such as erasing my passwords and auto-completes!
    Thank you,
    Randy

    Honestly (and this is coming from personal experience, not an official Mozilla recommendation) webroot isn't a very good or reliable anti-virus. I would personally uninstall webroot (or any other anti-virus programs you have, never good to many multiples) and install something like Microsoft Security Essentials. [http://microsoft.com/security_essentials http://microsoft.com/security_essentials]. It's just as good or better, and it saves you the money and hassle (MSE is quite a bit more reliable and stable than some anti-viruses). So, that's my two cents.

  • Pci card issues with K8N Neo-V2

    Motherboard: MSI K8N Neo V2.0  (ms-7030 ver:3.0)
    Network & sound cards won't work properly with this motherboard while using Ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 but they work fine under Windows XP Pro. The same network & sound cards were tested with other motherboards running Windows or Ubuntu successfully. Shortly thereafter, the motherboard wouldn't POST correctly so I flashed the bios with the correct bios from http://www.msicomputer.com/support/bios_result.asp
    After following the flashing instructions, I checked the CMOS settings & the incorrect bios version is displayed. If I install Ubuntu while using these cards, neither network nor sound cards will work but onboard sound & audio adapters work. I've tried everything posted on the MSI site regarding flashing & bios recovery but all results are failures. Is there anything else I can do to zero this motherboard & getting it working properly?  Thanks.

    Only reason why I flashed/updated the BIOS is because the motherboard wouldn't POST properly. After I flashed the BIOS, the motherboard POSTed fine.
    To answer your question about the BIOS update you listed, yes, I did try that one along with a version 7 listed for the same part #: ms-7030.
    I reinstalled Windows XP Pro last night & both cards are working fine. Because this project seems like an experiment to me, I tried the latest Live Update utility offered by MSI. Strangely, it saw that I was using BIOS version 7 & showed me a version 7.1 update. I updated the BIOS again to version 7.1, and the BIOS version listed now in the CMOS is version 7.1.
    As for what components I have, I'm using the following:
    audio: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! (ct4780)
    video: MSI FX 5200
    network: Linksys lne100tx v4
    hard drive: IDE ata100 Western Digital WD800JB
    power supply: Allied 12v 400w
