Quicksilver 2002 1GHz DP - problems with replacement of dual processor card

About 9 months ago my QS2002 seemed to be running slower & would quit DVD player if I tried to start it in full screen; it would play broken green lines before doing so - although it seemed to be OK if I started in small view & switched to full screen once it had got going. Eye TV would randomly freeze too. Diagnostics said it had failed - the external cache was the problem. In "About this Mac" the 2MB L3 cache wasn't showing up. I spoke to a few people & they all thought it pointed to 1 of the processors failing on the daughter card so I kept an eye on eBay to try & get a replacement- which I did a few weeks ago.
I followed Sonnets instructions on how to change the processor card but on start up it only started for long enough to see that it had failed diagnostics with the same message as previously. It then had a kernel panic & refused to restart - either not progressing past the apple sign with a frozen cog or freezing if it got as far as OSX. I took out the replacement card & put the original one back. It booted without problem & was now registering the L3 cache & had passed the diagnostics test. I don't really understand why or how this was possible - did the card just need reseating?
The seller was very helpful & sent another card. - this time it had a kernel panic as it started & brought up something resembling the command page in Windows saying that there was a graphic chip error.
At this point I gave up, replaced the original card - which is still booting & passing diagnostics.
So are all replacement QS2002 1GHz DP cards not the same - any ideas why neither of these worked (the labels on them were very similar to the original)? Would I have similar problems if I tried an upgrade Sonnet or Newertech card? Did I miss something when changing the cards over & why did taking a card out and replacing it fix its external cache problem?

Hi-
So are all replacement QS2002 1GHz DP cards not the same -
There will be different production runs, as well as different assembly lines, different component suppliers, different runs of processor chips.
Otherwise, architecturally, they are all the same.
Any OEM QS daughter card of any speed can be used in any QS.
any ideas why neither of these worked (the labels on them were very similar to the original)?
Possibly they were already no good.
The DP 1GHz is an excellent processor, but failure of one processor chip or cache is not that uncommon.
Further, used parts are always a risk as to health.
Would I have similar problems if I tried an upgrade Sonnet or Newertech card?
You should not, as long as the proper firmware patches are run prior to installation.
Did I miss something when changing the cards over & why did taking a card out and replacing it fix its external cache problem?
It could very well have been the process of removing and reinstalling that solved your problem.
Reseating of the CPU daughter card is a proper troubleshooting step, and can solve problems due to connection issues within one or more of the 300 pins.......

  • I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

    I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
    After five days of testing in the service they can not  found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
    New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
    Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

    You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card.  But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
    What program are you trying to run?  Is there anything in the system log? 
    I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

  • It's happened again! Problem with replacement screen (mysterious dark O ring in the centre)

    I had my screen replaced for a dark O ring appearing in the centre about half a year ago. It must be caused by the apple logo on the reverse.
    It's now starting to happen again and my 3 year applecare has run out
    What can I do? Does a new screen come with a guarantee of any kind?
    Serial is W89471B364B

    Welcome to the forum!
    This has been a fairly common problem with Z series units, and the cure is LCD replacement.
    Brand new LCDs change hands for under $200 on eBay. If you are handy and careful enough, replacing the LCD isn't that much of a problem.
    Hope this helps and good luck.

  • A Problem with the A205-S4597 video card

    Hi
    I need a video card for my laptop. A technician told me it only comes with the mother board. I wanna know if it's true or not, how can i get it, how much it cost.
    The problem with the computer is that it shows a lot of colors at windows startup and then it stops working, so, i took it to the technician and he told me the problem was the video card, but i have to buy the whole mother board, because it isn't sell alole.

    Yep.  The video is integrated into the motherboard so you would need to replace the motherboard on that model.  Unless you can do it yourself it will probably cost almost as much to fix it as it would to just buy another laptop. 
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

    Hi,
    Here is my /var/log/messages.log output.
    Since several days my computer repeatedly restarts programs that require at least a bit memory, such as firefox ('segmentation fault'), skype, virtualbox, generaly gnome 3 environment. Sometimes it happens that the system hangs and I can't do nothing, although I can hear that hard disk is working - at that moment only hard reset helps.
    I know that the Dell Inspiron laptops (1720) have problems with Nvidia 8600M GT (the cold solder). Is it like that this time? Or maybe something wrong with the memory, CPU (Core Duo) cache memory?
    I will be happy to add any additional information.

    Hello. I have a strange problem with my controllercard. I wrote this text to InnoVision suport and they send me files and bios updates for a whole week and it was still the same problem. And then i tried the card in an older computer and everything worked fine.
    I wrote
    "Hello. I got some problems with my new controller card. I can find my new harddrive ,that's conected to the controller card, when iam inside windows and it's seems to be no problem. I can look on every seting on it and everywhere i look i can read "No problem". I Also did some test with the seatools programe and everything was fine. But when i schould copy files to it the coumputer start lagging after a few seconds and i cant do anything. After a while i can move the mouse around but the it laggs again. My computer is overclocked at the time but i have tried to use the harddrive when it's not clocked also. Also when im goin in to teh controlpanel and starts the setings for Sillicon Images sata controll and have music on my computer, the music laggs for a very very short moment. Something must be wrong and i can not find it."
    It's still the same problem in my computer. The older computer had a MSI moderboard with a VIA chip and i have a nForce 3. InnoVison said i should talk to you about this problem. I have 3 harddrives but i use this controllercard because i want to have my computer overclocked and then i can't use 2 of the sata ports as i think you know.
    I would be very thankful if you could help me with this problem.

    I've used a noname SATA pci card (non raid) with SIL3112 on my neo2 without problems with 1C bios.
    Think you may try with a disk lower than 48bitLBA need (137GB barrier), eg a 120GB disk
    Quote:
     have the InnoVision EIO DM-8301 and had alot of problems using it with WD 160MB SATA drive.
    I am using Intel 865 based MB with 2 original SATA channels. The original SATA channels are bootable.
    I could not used the EIO card with 160G HDD. The whole setup is working only after I connected oine of my 120G Segate SATA HDD to the EIO Sata card.
    I think this card do not properly support HDD above 120G.

    Btw: you have xp sp2 ?

    Edit:
    Here's another with complete different setup and same problems
    http://forum.tweakxp.com/forum/Topic212148-4-1.aspx
    I doubt it has anything to do with your motherboard and/or bios.
    Btw: I looked at innovision and their drivers in download area are very old.
    Get the latest SIL3112 drivers for XP here:
    http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=63&cid=3&ctid=2&osid=4&
    And remember 3112 is sata150 only , so it's not sure it will work with your drive at all .
    Anyway it should be set to fixed sata1.5G with jumper - not certain the controller can autonegotiate
    without trouble. You cannot have command queing enabled either , disk support only NCQ and controller TCQ
    so having command queing set ON will cause major conflicts in data transfers.

  • Problems with a adaptec ash-1233 card

    i am tryin to install a pci card in my computer so i can use the full 200 gigs of my HD and this is the only pci/ ata adapter card i could find. does anyone know how i can get this to work with my computer that i have now? i have a blue and white g3 350 that is amost stock. any info would help thank you very much.

    Hold on a minute there cowboy
    Sonnet may still selling ultra ATA 133 cards. but they're made by < acard >
    and there's still problems with them. I know, because I'm dealing with a tempo 133 "failing on me" with the OS upgrade to 10.4.x.
    There's an additional mystery failure of my original HD (IBM Daystar 40 gig) with the update as well.
    I've found some references for this to be not uncommon.
    There's a firmware flash updater available that solves the ata card problem
    but it'll only function in OS 9 ! <SIIG AND ACARD for DL>
    I haven't tried it yet, but I thought I would share the info I've dug up thus far.
    I get the feeling that "they" really want people to spend more $$$
    on getting a SATA card and new HD's to solve the problem.

  • Problems with SD (or other) Memory card.  Won't work in reader

    I bought a Sandisk Ultra II SD card (2GB) and it wouldn't work in my Lacie reader.
    When I plugged it in, I got the device not recognized message, asking if I wanted to initialize or eject. Initializing with Disk Utility did NOT work.
    The reader works fine with 512MB and 1GB sd cards.
    So, I went to a friend who has the latest Lacie reader (and an intel iMac) and it worked great over there. I borrowed the reader and it works great on my PM G5.
    Conclusion: With the new fast and/or large capacity cards, you may need to upgrade your reader. If possible go to an apple store and see if your memory card works in a reader there, just to be sure, before purchasing!
    Good Luck

    Try initializing the card in the camera in which it will be used. This often gives more consistent results, and is recommended over letting the Mac format the card.

  • Problems with BIOS for new graphics card!!! HEEELP!!!!

    Hello,I just recently received my new graphics card (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960), and I am having some troubles getting it to work with my computer (p7-1072sc). I go myself a new PSU (Crossair CX600M), istalled it properly, pluged all the components up and put in the new GPU. Every time I turn on the PC, it freezes at the blue HP loading screen and does not respond to any keys.After some google searching I found out that I most likley would have to update my BIOS, so I went to the HP homepage. Entered my modelnumber, downloaded the new BIOS update (My current version was 7.14 13.10.2011), the update said the version was 7.15 05.25.2013. I downloaded the exe file, closed all other programs and ran the file. I started out as normal, but as the main installationprocess started I got the message that hpprobar3 stoped working. The computer freezed for a short while and then I got the message that the new BIOS had bin successfully installed, so I restarted the comuter. After that I checked back on the systems information and the version had bin changed to 7.15, but the date was still 13.10.2011. I tried the same rpocess again and the same thing happened.  I ried again to put in the new GPU, and it still froze on the blue HP loading screen. I also tried to find the directory for the BIOS file (sp55548.exe) (to make a flash installation), under c:/swsetup, but I only found one folder named sp68021. Can anyone help me with this?? I would really appreciate any advice sort of advice!!!
    PS: I am pretty new to all this stuff, so please be patient and explain any technical informoation or terms.

    As stated before, and as a refresher. I just got off the line with MSI and EVGA.  What you have is a Legacy motherboard. It can not function with a UEFI BIOS graphic card. That said:MSI (Greg):  The 750Ti NF has a switch for Legacy/UEFI.  All others in the 700 series are UEFI.  The 900 series, plus the R7, R9 ship with the new VBIOS, a hybrid that detects the correct BIOS (Legacy/UEFI). EVGA (Kayon): All 600 and 700 except the 750Ti are Legacy. 

  • How do I get OS X 10.6 pon my OS X 10.5.8 Power Mac with only a dual processor

    how do I get OS X 10.6 on my OS X 10.5.8 Power Mac G5 with only a dual 2 GHz PowerPc G5 processor. I do not see how or where to buy 10.6. Am wondering if it won't download to a powerpc 10.5.8...any ideas how I can do it?

    Hi, we're out of luck, it cannot run on G5s.
    10.5.8 is as high as any G4/G5 can go.
    10.6.x/Snow Leopard General requirements...
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory, I say 6 GB
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, I say 50 GB.
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

  • Problem with replacement of index series, change of base year

    Hi Experts!
    I try to explain my problem in Real Estate.
    In Italy from January 2011 the baseline (base year) national index of consumer prices for the entire community (NIC) and national consumer price index for families of workers and employees (CPI) moved from 1995 to 2010.
    So, I have to change the base year of index in Rent Adjustment.
    I think I have changed the base year from 1995 to 2010.
    (Path: Real Estate>Rent Adjustment>Index>Replacement of index series, change of base year)
    In table TIVAJINDXCON (previous was empty) now there is this record:
    SERIESTO: 08000
    BASEYEARTO: 1995
    SERIESFROM: 08000
    BASEYEARFROM: 2010
    CHAINDATE: 31.12.2010
    INDEXBASETO: 1,373
    But with transaction FOA0 it seems that the rent adjustment still consider 1995 as base year instead of 2010.
    I have to set the SAP application as to use 2010 as new base year instead of 1995.
    Would you please forward me with any support.
    Best regards,
    Thank you.

  • Problem with replacing colour in posterised image

    Hello,
    I am looking for help with a problem I am havng in trying to create a Warhol type poster image
    I have scanned in a B & W image as a tiff file(epson v750 pro).
    I have then opened the image in CS4.
    then used the poster edge filter.
    I have then have to clone large areas to clean it up (remove speckels to clean the image to get large areas to white).
    I want to then replace the white area (already cleaned to get it to white) with yelow for example. I have  change the mode from greyscale to RGB to allow me to add colours.
    I can select the colour replace tool and select my colour(Colour picker tool, yellow).
    But the image is not taking the colour. Nothing is being painted on the image.
    I have tried so many times. some times I am getting the replacing colour on only about half of the image (going left to right). It still leaves
    I thought thi smight have had something to do with the cloning action. but the half of the image that takes the colour has large parts of it cloned to white.
    It is not possible to clone the image before using the poster filter as there is no true white in it.
    I am under a bit of pressure to have this completed by Friday for a Birthday party.
    Any help greatly Appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    k.

    You didn't really say how many colors you needed to make it. There are a couple of ways to do this, some are destructive and others are non-destructive.
    I assume the shades of gray are quite distinct. The more contrast between the shades the easier it is to select the shades.
    First option is destructive - Select all of one shade, then hit shift-backspace both keys on right side of keyboard. This will bring up the fill dialog box. here you can select a color and click ok then the selected areas will have that color.
    Second way non-destructive. Create a new layer and fill it with the color that you want, createanother layer and fill that one and so on untill you have all the colors that you need.
    Now select the layer the image is on and create your first selection of one of the shades. Click on the layer that has the color that you want. Next click on the icon at the bottom of the layer panel that looks like a circle inside a square. You selection should now disappear and a new icon on the layer of that color.
    Repat for each color.
    If the colors are blocking your imsge which odds are they will be, click on the eye icon on the color layer to temporarally make it not visible. And repeat for any layer blocking your view. Clicking the where the eye was will make it visible again.
    The second way may seam more difficult, but once you have the selections done for each color layer, it is a simple process to change the color at any time or remove that layer all together or better yet click the eye. The point is once the hard work is done should you change your mind, it is extremely simple to change latter on. As long as you save your file to include layers you can change this any time later on. Both tiff and psd allow you to save layers.
    An additional option: if your image as a texture or other details that you want to keep, change the blend mode on that colors layer from normal to color or hue. You might even want to try out some of the other blend modes and see how they effect your image. Doing this step to an image with details will make it more beleiveable. In fact option two and this step is the way to go if there are details in the image as with out blending, or reducing the opacity of the color layers, it would look like a color by number.

Maybe you are looking for
