Problem with K9A2 NEO-F board...resets after post

First time post here, sorry if this subject has already been went over. Upgrading my board, chip, RAM, and video card. Went with a dual core Windsor 2.8, 4 gig of Geil ddr2 800 ram, a MSI 8800GT video card and the K9A2 NEO-F board...the board sees the chip and counts up all the ram and finds the one SATA drive i installed. The post goes ok and windows starts to load and then a screen flashes too fast too read, and it resets back to the post again. The BIOS is the weird part. I go in to set the boot sequence, and all available bootable items are [bracketed] and any item selected is "disabled in the corresponding menu". It wont allow me to choose any bootable item; the floppy, the cdrom or the hard drive. Anyway, i have no idea why this board wont boot to my winxp drive from my old config computer. Any ideas anyone please?

??? HUH?
You can't do that! Read this carefully: you can NOT use one installation on another computer. Nor can you swap boards/cpu in an existing machine and expect Windows to work. If you want the OS to run, install the hardware you want and install Windows on the machine you want it to run on. Installing Windows using an old "bare" PC and then put that HDD into another machine will NOT work.
Now, please do a fresh Windows install on the PC you want it on. I cannot explain it more clearly...

Problems with a new IP phone 7906 after factory reset

Hi Guys
I am currently having problems with my new IP phone 7906 after doing factory reset and here is a video of it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvCLtwIAwVw
I used this command I found on the net:
Hold down
while plugging in the phone and keep holding it until the message waiting indicator (red light) starts blinking. Then
release # and type 123456789*0# in sequence.
I was trying to switch my phone to sip and it also dont want to take tftp setup either.

Tim,
Found this on the net
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ts/fn/620/fn62949.html
Might be woth giving it a go
6.Pull power on the phone (even if power is PoE).
7.Hold down the # key on the phone.
8.Continue holding down the # key and re-apply power.
9.While still holding the # key wait for the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) light on the handset to start flashing.
10.Once the MWI light is flashing, release the # key and enter the following sequence exactly on the keypad:
3491672850*#
Once this sequence has been entered on the IP Phone, if all the network criteria above have been met, it should begin its recovery process. This process can take up to 15 minutes to finish. The phone may appear to be doing nothing during this time. However, if the phone does not recover after 20 minutes then it is possible that the recovery is stuck. In this case, re-examine your network and verify that steps 1-4 are in place, then re-issue the factory reset sequence.
* Note: The factory reset sequence is a way for a phone to clear flash and still upload to a valid firmware image. This is facilitated by the termxx.default.loads file, but requires that the image files listed in the termxx.default.loads file are available in TFTP for the phone to download. Open the termxx.default.loads file in any text editor. This loads file is essentially just a packing list showing all the OS and application files the phone needs to function. The files include a cnu, cvm, dsp, app and jar files. Please make sure that these files as listed in the termxx.default.loads file are in TFTP. ("xx" will be either "06" for the CP-7906G model, or "11" for the CP-7911G model.)
Additional Diagnostic Steps:
- Try a hard-coded IP address as a test to see if this resolves the upgrade failures. If it does, and the number of failing IP Phones is relatively few, this procedure may be the most expedient. After the IP Phone upgrades successfully, reconfigure the IP Phone to use DHCP.
- Try putting the phone on a hub or a different switch and see if this helps change the startup timing enough so that the upgrade completes successfully.

Problem with repaired neo fis2r

I am experiencing performance problems with my neo tha t I am not sure where to begin trouble shooting. I had an video card falure(delaminated pin on agp ) which resulted in damage to the agp slot I rma 'd my neo and it returned marked repaired with a grey agp slot , bios 1.4 ( had 1.6 installed) and the same serial #. I reinstalled all components. noted the retrograde bios and flashed to 1.8. then I attempted to return all settings to theyre original state only to find that I can't overclock! previously I got 250mhz clock with perf mode set to ultra turbo and ram set to 333mhz . now I can't get past perf mode fast and 205mhz no matter what. I see references to bios 1.8 as being not very overclockable.this may be the problem but the waters have been muddied by the multitude of events. I am not an expert and do not know where to start. I was so thrilled with the performance of my neo and now I am at a loss . Is the bios responsible for this abysmal performance or is my system still compromised? I don't know what to do to determine its state. my system is as follows:-
neo fis2r( of course)
2.4c p4 with zalman alcu 7000
ati 8500dv
512mb samsung 400mhz ram
seagate barracuda sata 150 raid 0
pci modem card
thermaltake xaser2 case
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
kev

essentially I am not just concerned about it's current inability to overclock. but more in the fact that b4 the repiar of the board I was able to overclock with no difficulty and no special considerations. in fact when I look at my little log of bios settings the agp clock was set at 66.6/33.3 after all the overclocking. and now with EXACTLY the same components( ati card repalced but physically identical) none of those same settings work. did the failure damage other components whose failure is not yet critical path or has the bios upgrade caused instability?

Problem with PT8 NEO Y VGA ATI SAPHIRE 9250SE

problem with PT8 NEO Y VGA ATI SAPHIRE 9250SE

From the VGA test report: http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/testreport_pdf/6799/vga.pdf for the board , i can't find ATI Radeon 9250SE , but it is obvious that MSI only tested their Nvidia cards and no ATI cards. So, you'd better to try Nvidia cards or contact your VGA vendor to ask if there is the latest VGA BIOS to solve your issue.
Anyway, remember to tell us the results .

The problem with forecast reports in SCOM 2012 after integration with VMM 2012

Hello.
I have problem with forecast reports in SCOM 2012 after integration with VMM 2012. All other reports (not forecasting) works fine. For example, report “Host Group Forecasting” don’t work. The report is generated, but I have error: “Subreport

Error: Subreport could not be shown
Opening a report for Client Security might result in the following error being displayed in one or more areas of the report: "Error: Subreport could not be shown."
Background
There are two possible reasons for this error:
1. Wrong location   The reporting server is pointing to the wrong computer running SQL Server or a SQL Server instance.
2. Insufficient permissions   The account configured (in SQL Server Reporting Services) to connect to the reporting database does not have appropriate permissions for the database.
Solution
To determine which reason is causing the error, attempt to directly open the subreport reporting the error, by clicking the name of the subreport.
If the reporting server is pointing to a wrong location, the report displays an error similar to the following:
Error message
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'SystemCenterReporting'. Cannot open database "SystemCenterReporting" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user username.
To verify the correct SQL Server computer and instance path
In Report Manager, navigate to the report generating the error and click the Properties tab.
Click Data Sources and under a Shared data source, note the path.
Open the reporting Web site. If you chose the default virtual directory for reports, the URL is: http://hostname/Reports/
If you chose to secure the viewing of reports with HTTPS, the URL is: https://hostname/Reports/
Click SCDW.
In the Connection type list, ensure that Microsoft SQL Server is selected.
In the Connection string box, ensure that the correct SQL Server computer and instance name are entered.
Note:
A period (.) denotes the local computer.
If the account has insufficient permissions, the report displays an error similar to the following:
Error message
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Query execution failed for data set 'DSDashboardComputersTrend'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) EXECUTE permission denied on object 'prSAS_UX_DashboardComputersTrend', database 'SystemCenterReporting',
schema 'dbo'.
To determine if you are experiencing the SQL Server permissions issue
Open the reporting Web site. If you chose the default virtual directory for reports, the URL is:http://hostname/Reportserver/
If you chose to secure the viewing of reports with HTTPS, the URL is:https://hostname/Reportserver/
Click Microsoft Operations Manager Reporting, click Microsoft Forefront Client Security, and scroll to DashboardComputersTrend.
Click DashboardComputersTrend.
If you are experiencing a SQL Server permissions issue, an error similar to the preceding error appears.
To grant permissions to the SQL Server computer
1. In Report Manager, click SCDW and note the account in the Connect using section. This is the account under which the database is contacted.
2. On the server with the System Center Reporting database, start SQL Server Management Studio.
3. In the tree, expand Security, and then expand Logins. Do one of the following:
If the user account is listed, right-click the account, click Properties, and then go to step 5.
If the user account is not listed, right-click Logins and choose New Login.
4. In the Login name box, enter the user account (domain\username).
5. In the Login Properties dialog box, click User Mapping, and then under Users mapped to this login, select the System Center Reporting check box.
6. Under Database role membership for: System Center Reporting, select the db_owner check box, and then click OK.

Problem with"Evaluate User Policies"sch task after the upgrade OIM R1 to R2

Problem with "Evaluate User Policies" scheduled task after the upgrade from OIMg R1 to OIM 11g R2
After the upgrade process is completed we are having issue with Access policy not triggering if rule is set to custom attribute
- We had a Rule with custom attribute (Policy='Full-Time') the value gets populated by event handler which triggers the access policy in OIM 11g R1.. which worked fine in OIM R1
After the upgrade the value is getting populated but even after running "Evaluate User Policy" the Access Policy is not getting triggered.
We tested creating a rule with other custom attribute,policy does not trigger even after running Evaluate User Policy schedule Task in this case too
but if we try creating rule with OOTB attributes(Country='US') it works fine the access policy got triggered after running Evalute User Policy
One more issue we observed is
- Evaluate User Policy value usr_policy_update is not updated still set to '1' even after the Access policy got triggered (as it worked when rule is set to OOTB attribute)
I believe after the evaluate user policy gets triggered for a user it should update the value from '1' to '0')
Please let me know if you have any idea..Thanks!

well, I overcame the issue by 'fooling' the installer: on second node, change the scan ip address to point to something else (ie, different ip address to the scan in the first node, cleanup then rerun root.sh, it went past the trouble stage, then I still have problem later at the time database creation. I think scan ip address has to be setup correctly (round robin thingy)
This is how i did the cleanup before rerun root.sh

Problem with battery running down more quickly after I downloaded OS6 to 3GS iPhone.

gdgmacguy
I guess I should have asked for the "definitive" fix. I read several "fixes" but it seems no one knows if Apple has a definitive fix. Kind of like going into an Apple store and getting three different answers from three different reps. At least they are not rude and no, I don't have a problem searching the forum.

Weird Problems with K9A2 System

Can Someone Help Me?
I recently built a new system and have had nothing but problems. See system config in signature (Left off OCZ PRO Xtreme 1000W Power Supply With 4 12 Vrails at a max of 26 Amps each or 82 Amp all together and a 5 Volt rail at 30 Amps Max.) After putting it all (except the seagate 250 IDE drive), system would not even enter post. After strippin memory down to just 2 GB system finally entered post (although my memory were the same models from G.Skill one set was older and one set was new they had different voltages old required 1.9-2.0 while the newer worked at the default 1.8 voltage all timing and specs besides voltage were the same). I entered the bios setup and set my Memory voltage to 1.95 (What I had been runnin the older memory in my old system). Inserted all the memory back in and system booted right up to allow me to install my OS (Vista Home Premium 64-bit).
After the OS installed the system started having all kinds of wierd clitches/problems at one point it locked up and neither reset button nor the power button would work. After unplugging the power I noticed that the M connector for the front case switches was a little loose. I decided to just plug wires directly into board instead of using th M connector. Now my buttons worked again. I then proceded back into the bios and checked my voltages in the hardware monitor of the bios. All voltages looked to be fine with only an ocassional voltage fluctuation in the 5V line from 4.97 to 4.92 Volts and the 12V line was a little high 12.4 Volts. However, after booting back into vista and installing Everest Ultimate Edition it detected the that the 5 Volt line was only at 4.67 Volts. But was not fluctuating at all.
After installing the drivers for my system and proceding to install my anti-virus software the system started freaking out the mouse started lagging and sometimes not responding at all and the keyboard worked intermittently. I decided to remove the M connectors from these as well and that solved that problem. Upon rebooting the system and trying to install the Anti-Virus software again the system started telling me that I had just plugged in something to the audio connector. I had not so I just ignored it and continued to install my anti-virus. (the audio connector alert popped up 4X while I was finishing the installation of the software. I decided to test the audo so I but a DVD in and and watched the whole movie sound worked fine and no more pop ups about the audio connector until I started to install more software. During the next install of software the screen went black and the DVD and Hard Drive LED stopped flashing. It stayed this way for about 10 Min. I decided to hit the reset button and the system would not enter post again.
Once again I started to pull the Memeory It finnally worked after removing the new memory that I had just bought but none of my Maxtor hard drives were recognized and I started smelling smoke. ( Strange only the Maxtor drives went out, all had the interface boards and one chip on each drive fried. After disconnecting these drives and replacing the maxtor 120 GB IDE drive that had fried with a Seagate 250 GB IDE drive and reinstalling everyting onto it since the maxtor was my boot drive the system started up and was running fine except for the occasioal audio connector popup I finished Installing the rest of my software and everything was running good. So I assumed the problems were due to faulty ram. I contacted NewEgg and arranges for an RMA on the memory went shipped the memory back to NewEgg came back and started to move file some file to my NAS200 After about 4 hours the system locked up again (It had been almost 36 hours since I had had anyother problems with the system and it had not been turned off the whole time. All temps were good CPU was at 29C and GPU was at 46C system temp was 31C according to my Everest Ultimate so I didn't think it was a heat related issue)
Upon restarting my computer I got a message that a recent overclocking attempt had failed (I did not try to overclock!!) After going back into Bios and resetting all my settings the computer would not post agian. I tried to clear the CMOS with the jumper just to make sure that there wasn't any coruption inthe CMOS. Still no Luck. Pulled out one stick of the older ram and it booted but very slow. I went to a local parts dealer and bought some extremely over prived memory just so I could get my system back to 2 GB because I had video edditing software that didn't work very good on 1 GB. After installing no post again. So I started testing each stick of memory that I had in DIMM 1 they all worked but anytime I insert one into DIMM 2 it would not boot. Finnally I but 2 sticks into DIMM 3&4 and It started up and ran good. I decided to set my bios Unganged option to enabled and put memory back into DIMM 1 No luck would not post. I removed the memory from DIMM 1 and computer has worked ever fine except for an error coming out from sleep mode. (Never had a computer that didn't have a problem with that) I even updated the BIOS to 1.5 which was suppose to fix the wakeup problem.
So here is what I have I can use Dimm 1 by itself or I can use DIMM 3&4 but not both together. I'm about to buy a Power Supply (single 12V rail at 40 Amps and a 5V rail at 50 Amps) because I think that the 12 V reading as 12.4 and the 5 Volts reading as 4.67 in Everest Ultimate and 4.97 volts in Bios might have something to do with some of my problems. I did not check the Memory that I RMA'd by them selves on DIMM 3&4. I think that they may have been good now.
Can the 5V line registering the way it is 4.97 Bios/4.67 in Windows cause DIMM 2 to not function and create the lockups or can the socket or board be bad and that be what is causing this problem? And Should I RMA the motherboard back or just purchase a different motherboard?
System is pretty Stable as it is now with the voltages as they are. I really wantt to be able to put my new memory that I get back from NewEgg in and have my 4 GB of memory.

OK I have removed the mother board and and checked for grounding issue or any damage from the fried hard drives board looks good did not find any grounding issues in the case. One thing I did not check was that I was using a Startech SATA to IDE converter to connect the the IDE drives that I didn't have the connectors on the board or.
I did some research before buying them and made sure to get one with a plastic box around the pcb due to so many people compaining that their's would short to the hard drive case. Since the loss of the HDD I didn't need the adapter so I quit Using it.
when I did my research on the adapter I found that many people had said that their HDD got hoter when using the adapter I guess my HDD just couldn't handle it. The Drive that I had connected with it was about 6 years old and I had been having intermittent problems with the connector not making a good connection when it was in my old system. (Anytime I would shut the power off for a long period of time and the HDD had a chance to cool down I would have to unplug and reconnect the ide cable from that drive.)
I didn't think that the problem would continue as I was moving it to an new case, motherboard, and cable.
And it just so happened that the drives that fried were all connected the the sata controller in the SB600 chip. My two SATA drives that survied the fire were on the Promise T3 controller. So I guess it is possible that the adapter/HDD configuration I had with the SATA to IDE caused some sort of feedback into the Motherboard's SATA controller and back into the oter HDD on that Controller. I have checked all SATA ports since this happened and they all still work so I'm assuming that it did not damage the chip.
As far as the memory situattion I don't see how the HDD frying could have damaged the Memory unless there is some special connectin between DIMM2 and the SATA controller that doesn't exist with the other DIMM slots. and if it had somehow effected the memory controller to cause this problem I would assume it would have done alot more damage to the cpu than just the memory controller part. So I think I'll try to RMA a new motherboard, if ZippZoomFly will let me this long after getting the board I've had it for about 3.5 weeks waiting on the other parts for the new system) and see what happens.
As for the memory, itself they are not mixed brands or models. I bought one set about a year ago when I purchased my X2 6000 processor and they have worked great as long as I kept the voltage above 1.9 V. The new memory has the same model # as the old but the label on them states the same timings and only a different voltage range. So as long as they voltage was set to within the range of both sets they should work exactly the same. I did notice that the board would only detect 3.25 GB instead of 4 GB, and I was prepared for this. Every Motherboard I have ever owned, no matter who the Manufacturer was, has had this problem. However Vista reported the memory correctly.
I guess if the new motherboard exhibits the same memory problem with not letting me use all slots then i'll buy a 2X2GB set

Strange problem with P35 Neo

Hi there.
Got a strange problem with a computer that got a P35 Neo system board.
The problem I got, is that the computer don't boot. If I reset the CMOS,
I can get the computer to boot, but then it hungs on loading Vista.
Then I try to repair my Vista. Then the computer hungs while loading the DVD.
I have tried to boot with only one RAM in the computer, but the problem still
there...
I have tried to reset the CMOS by changing the JPBAT (I think it called so) jumper
and to pull out the battery.
I have tried to disconnect all, but one HDD and but I can't say that it worked any
better...
Any ideas how to find out the error?

Going on week FOUR of problems with MSI NEO-2-S :/

Mainboard: MSI Neo2-S, BIOS Rev. 1.5x (whatever Live Update sent me)
RAM: GeiL 1GB (512x2) PC-3500 Matched pairs
CPU: P4-2.4c
HD: WD 1200JB Special edition
Cooling: Stock intel, lapped @ 800 grit
PSU: 450W
Video: MSI Geforce 4 TI-4200 64MB
O/S: Windows XP Pro SP1A, IE 6.x latest security patches
DX: Direct-X 9b
BIOS setting: Slow
Overclocking: No, system will not even run stable at rated speeds.
Problem:
System just shuts itself down in the middle of gaming.
CPU temperature has a wide range, depending on how cool the night is and if I have my windows open etc the system can be as low as 40c. Under load while gaming I've seen it go to between 59c-62c.
I've gone into Core Center and turned off the dynamic overclocking so it doesn't adjust speed in the middle of playing games, thinking that might be causing issues.
I've also cranked the fans up all the way in Core Center to increase cooling.
Heck I've even turned Core Center OFF thinking it was messing with my system.
No antivirus is running in the background while I'm gaming. I've fresh installed XP Pro. I've re-applied service packs.
I'm worried about the temperature but I don't necessarily know for certain the sudden shutdowns are a cooling issue.
I am going on week FOUR of problems with this new system. I have never purchased an MSI mainboard and seriously, I have just flat out had it. I've already been through one RMA'd board, I am not RMAing another. I have 3 days left on my newegg account before I am stuck with this MSI, forever. If I can't find a solution ASAP (in 24 hours!) I am returning this MSI board and getting a Gigabyte 8KNXP.
Can anyone help me out here with suggestions please. I'm at my wits end. I've never had to do SO MUCH WORK to get a system running stable. I put my P3 with Intel mainboard together 2.5 years ago and I haven't had ONE single issue.
Stability is a BIG factor for me. I can't even think about overclocking when this sytem won't run at rated speeds!
Chris

This is a different problem.. the first board just flat out died after upgrading the BIOS. I never even got to use it.
This new board upgraded the BIOS just fine but I've been experiencing crashes and shutdowns.
I don't have any spare motherboard or CPU to test it in, and if I did I'd still have to run it for several days..and I don't have several days due in part to me having to dink around with it for so long.
I would say I am in game for 30-60 minutes before I see temperatures that high. Although again I have been playing this same game on my P3-1ghz with the same Video card and never once had a shutdown like this. Never once overheated.
I have all the fancy display/graphics options turned off..I have tested in different resolutions (it makes no difference temperature wise)
I do not know what my core temps are, I can check when I get home and post them if it helps.
I'm running everything at stock speeds. I've noticed Core Center ups my speed slowly from 201x4 to 203x4 etc and so I disabled that and finally flat out took Core Center out of startup. I didn't want it modifying anything while I was playing on the chance it was causing the crashes. Still no change even after that.
The temp does seem a bit high, but I have lapped the heatsink and fan and applied a layer of termal paste (silicon based) to both the HSF and the CPU. I removed that old black pad by scraping it off and then cleaning it with some xylene based carburetor cleaner. I spent several minutes rubbing the black melted parrafin goo off the processor and HSF with a coffee filter. I'm very confident there was little to none left when I applied the new thermal paste.
I don't understand why it runs so hot, nothing is overclocked, I'm running low settings in the game. These temps i'm posting are from Core Center. I have the case OPEN (plenty of ventilation) and I have the windows in my room open to the night air!! (i live in san diego, its cool at night right now) I tried with the case closed also just to be sure and I received the same temperature readings.
None of this makes sense...and after 4 weeks and 500 dollars I'm tired of having to make it sense. It should work right away and that's that.

Problem with K9A2 NEO-F board...resets after post
