Slow new phenom 9600 black

Ok I am going to start from the beginning. i upgraded my old computer with parts off newegg
New motherboard: MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum AM2
New cpu: AMD phenom x4 9600 black
New ram: CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
New Video Card: Evga geforce gtx 260 216 superclocked
New Power supply: 650w with two 12v rails at 25 amps
Got the parts put it all together all green leds all is looking flawless. Went to install windows vista ultimate noticed that it was hanging up longer then normal
between screens noticeably longer (have done alot of window installs) shrugged it off and continued the install got into windows installed all the drivers with
the disks. still kinda wondering about the sluggishness, I ran a test in 3dmark vantage worst fear came true 5000 very very low score for the system
restarted the computer got 4 red leds indicating the it had a defective or incorrectly installed cpu but still boots up into windows just fine. got a cpu monitor
shows activity from all 4 cpu's. went online to get all the new drivers from the websites for the gtx 260 and motherboard, Same thing. removed cpu to look at
the pins looked good installed my old copy of windows xp same thing. It would hang up longer then normal on the install did just as bad in 3dmark06
removed 1 stick of ram guess what all leds went green thought I might have found the problem. same thing bad 3dmark vantage score replaced the ram stick
that I took out, boot's up with all green leds now every time but still slow system. I am at a loss is there anyone that can help me out there. Maybe recommend
any testing programs that can narrow it down. I am suspecting the cpu or motherboard. this is driving me crazy

??? Are you contradicting yourself? In your first post, you list in your system specs:

New motherboard: MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum AM2
Better make sure you know exactly which mainboard you have before progressing further...
And before you even think about flashing your BIOS, you must get that system stable! And what are your exact PSU specs too please!

If you have one, how high have you been able to overclock it?
I have mine at 2.6 GHz with increasing only the CPU ratio. Voltage I've left to Auto. I haven't tried anything higher yet.

MSI K9A2 Platinum + Phenom 9600 + 2GB Mushkin XP8500 cannot boot into windows

Hi!
I am building my computer using the Spider platform and I ran across problems during booting into windows.
I am using MSI K9A2 platinum with Phenom 9600 and Mushkin 2Gb kit XP8500 ddr2 1066. I have no problem installing windows xp.
The problem starts when I install the utility and drivers that come on a cd from MSI, my computer requests to re-boot after installation and after
that it will not boot into windows. I can get to the windows logo and then the system reboots right away.
I checked the bios and it shows that the ram is running at 800mhz and i have tried running with just 1 stick and im getting the same problem every time.
Anyone knows how to resolve this?
thanks!

Everything is stable now...I guess installing the driver from the MSI website is the best thing to do right now
I notice that my ram is underclocked to 800mhz instead of 1066mhz...I have update the motherboard BIOS to v1.2 and i checked that the ram is running on unganged mode...I tried adjusting the spd to 5-5-4-12 with voltage of 2.2v as suggested by the mushkin ram itself
Any idea?
"I have update the motherboard BIOS to v1.2 and i checked that the ram is running on unganged mode..."
That is the correct mode.
"I notice that my ram is underclocked to 800mhz instead of 1066mhz..."
1066 is not officially certified by JEDEC, also your memory probably don't have SPD configuration for that freq.
Contact to Mushkin for more details.
"I guess installing the driver from the MSI website is the best thing to do right now"
Yep
"Everything is stable now.."
nice :smiley:

Can K9A2 plat handle AMD's new Phenom II processor? Deneb- Shanghai
Does anybody have good link or info on AMD's new deneb processor ? Will it work with a K9A2 plat MOBO?
I am ready to make a jump from my dual core to a quad core, but if this new processor will be available soon I would rather wait.
The question is will it work with AM2+boards such as K9A2 plat?

I got this info from an other forum
" Some prices have appeared:
http://www.austin.net.au/ProductList/tabid/103/Search/1/Keyword/Phenom%20II/Default.aspx
In case your wondering:
500 Australian dollars=£215 or $320"
And this is from MSI's website
" The official threshold of new 45nm process processor technology, which will make the current Phenom™ processor to break the 2.6GHz maximum clock, and then raise to 3.0GHz. As for the processor TDP, it will reduce to from 140W to 125W."

Slow new DatagramSocket()

New battery for Black Macbook A1181

A buddy of mine needs a new battery for his Black 13" Macbook. The model is A1181.
There are some Anker batteries on Amazon.com for $62.99 with free shipping which seems like a great price. The only problem is they don't ship to Canada... So I obviously cannot buy one.
The Apple replacement batteries have terrible reviews and are outrageously price so forget that.
What options do I have? OWC? Any recommendations?

And for the cost of a new battery, you could likely get the logic board checked and the defective solder joint fixed.
Good battery story. In an as-new iBook G4 bought online from Apple Store, I returned new batteries under the/then battery replacement program. Mine had no sign of failure or defect. The two new replacements were cycled in use so they were about equal in use.
These are like produce and do not store well if not exercised. Anyway, these replacements failed to retain a useable portion of their battery life cycles in as little as 55, each; no matter the various well-known hoops a user can push their portable and its batteries through.
So, I'm looking at a battery from OWC because there are few other sources as the hardware goes antique on me. And am looking at a SSD for that last-model iBook 12" but doubt the upgrade is worth it. And also have a MacBook 13" coreduo, G4 mini, & others.
{the portable was bought to use while endless repair attempts were made on an iMac under warranty failed to bring it up to servicability and I'd already donated away a nice working Mac on arrival of my first Apple under AppleCare. Sadly, no authorized service in my state at the time existed that could fix it. It's dead, too}
Anyway, you get what you paid for, depending on what you pay for in addition to what you get. Express shipping got the warranty papers in a box the next day, but they forgot to ship the computer, it took a month from Apple since it was sent eventually by slow ground via Canada. The route that broke earlier new Macs.
So the OWC battery looks fairly good, at a distance.
Never did any business with them so far.
Good luck & happy computing!

MacBook Pro June 2009 NVIDIA 9600 black screen of death

Hi there,
I am thinking of buying a new MacBook Pro June 2009 with dual graphics.
1.
As I read about the issues the MacBook Pro has in regards to graphics related to NVIDIA 9600 GT,
black screen of death, I would like to know if anything has changed regarding the NVIDIA 9600 GT
as it is still the same graphic card Apple is using for the latest MacBook Pro series.
Of course I know that Apple does not build it, however are there any informations that NVIDIA has performed changes on its graphic card that the widely discussed long term heat issues relating to the black screen of death will not appear in the latest model series?
2.
As I mainly use PS for picture editing I also would like to know how much this will conflict with the 9600 graphic card in the long term. Are there any users with black screen of death experience that were using PS as their main picture editing software where the issue appeared?
3.
Lastly I am aware that their are tools to manage fan speed behavior - as a workaround to cool down temperatures. Using this software would it void the warranty that is provided by Apple?
I thank you very much for all thoughts about the subject.

Hi pictureswithPS, welcome to Apple Discussions!
1. I have an original late-2008 unibody MBP that was purchased a week after the introduction. I have never had a single "black screen of death" ever, and I do some gaming under OS X on my machine. The heat issues are, in my humble opinion, greatly exaggerated. Does the machine get warm? Yes. However, any computer with this much power in this thin of an enclosure is going to get warm. Mine has never crashed, frozen, black screened, etc. once.
2. I don't think PS is particularly intensive on the graphics card. It may use the graphics card, yes, but I don't think it will be quite as intensive as a 3D modeling application or 3D games. I would doubt you would ever run into problems anyway.
3. Lastly I am aware that their are tools to manage fan speed behavior - as a workaround to cool down temperatures. Using this software would it void the warranty that is provided by Apple?
No, it wouldn't likely void the warranty. However, if your fans die prematurely as a result of running them at high speeds for extended periods of time, I doubt Apple would be especially happy about replacing them. I do not use any 3rd party tools to manage my fans, and never will. It is simply not necessary.

K9N2 SLI Platinum - new Phenom support and OC

____________E D I T ___________________
MSI K9N2 SLI PLATINUM
SUPPORTS
AMD PHENOM X2 965 BE CPU
____________E D I T ___________________
if it didn't I would be crying in a corner somewhere not posting this from my super fast PC
Thanks to all you guys
____________E D I T ___________________
Hi guys,
Had my lovely new M/B for a few months now and It has been a wonderful board.
despite one hiccup where the PCIE bus had a moment / died ( flashing the BIOS to latest fixed it )
My setup currently :
Jeantech Storm 700w Modular PSU
MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum
AMD Phenom 9550
with Zalman silent fan
4GB crap ass RAM (that's a real brand .. honest)
2 x BFG 9800GTX+OC in SLI I likes these .. they make lovely noises in my dark room .. VrrrrUmmmmmmm mmm mmmm mmm
500 GB slow ass HDD (Again the marketing dept of this brand were out to lunch when they launched it)
Windows 7 RC. latest build
Nvidia Det's 190.xxx latest driver
mostly playing Fallout 3 (graphics are beautiful but notice the CPU is lagging behind now)
So to the Crux of my issues :-
I'm looking to upgrade a few things here though,
as you can see a few components are severely bottlenecking performance.
First off the RAM.
going to get some nice Kingston 1066 DDR2 (4GB or should I go for 8GB ?)
next .. a WD VelociRaptor 10k rpm HDD probably just a small 74GB or the 150GB drive
and finally the pies de resistance ( yes PIES ! .. I like PIES !!) shiny new AMD Phenom 965 CPU
SO... Will the 965 phenom work in this board ? I've logged on tech support but no answer,
latest BIOS is installed already 7374v35 i think.
I know it's a 140W CPU so okay there,
the Socket AM2+/AM3 is good
.. I just NEED to be sure before spending £200.00
if not .. is it worth getting the 945 or 955 BE and clocking them ... could the board handle clocking the 965 ??
and last of all, if any one has any opinions on the build .. let me know... have you built a similar rig ?
cheers all
PIES out ~!
OCD

WoW !!
Thanks for the replies guys, I really appreciate it...
and after a drunken bout of spontaneous cash wastage on the internet last night :
1) AMDOA06KNF PHENOM II X4 965 £151.07
2) WDGA060T2 WD VELOCI RAPT 150GB £99.07
3) KTEA069M4 4GB 1066MHZ DDR2 £41.70
... goods on the way...
So I guess in a few days I'll be able to update you all on the build and will more than likely be updating this post with my random moronic questions and queries when the next thing goes wrong
looking into Power requirements
9800GTX+ SLI requires a min 550w PSU .. and so far in top gaming and 3D benchs hasn't gone over 250w on the meter ( pretty good I think)
the Zalman CNPS9700 LED seems to keep everything cool without any power to the fan... but I leave power on low just for the pretty blue lights
I'm happy to listen to any advice though,
One thing I will need is any pointers you can give on the K9N2 built in OC facility in the BIOS .. is it any good .. can I TRUST it to not fry my CPU by running it on auto ? is there any recommended settings ? etc. your thoughts and experiences welcomed

Officejet 4622, new printer today. black does not seem to work at all but all the colors do.

I print a test page through diagnostic tool and black square is blank. I cannot tell if the alignment prints properly as I have no example of what it should look like to ensure it is correct since the alignment fails to detect the alignment page. Scans work fine. I tried cleaning the print heads and still don't seem to get black to work correctly. This is a new printer purchased today 9.30.2012.

just in case anyone else encounters this problem, heres whats really going on and heres how to fix this annoying issue. its relatively easy to do and more efficient than wasting money on a new printer or having it repaired like most people end up doing.
whats going on? the ink has clogged the printing heads and has solidified shut. the "clean print heads" feature the printer came with does not have the ability to fix this. that feature is to clean up dirty heads, not clogged heads. why hp decided to make this model without a simple to remove cradle is beyond me, but fortunately the cradle DOES come out and can be cleaned with hot water.
theres a few items you will need to make this happen the easy way or you could just break out the tree limb loppers, like i did, and vent your frustrations.
what you will need: a pair of needle nosed pliers, a T9 torx screwdriver head ( auto parts stores sell them for a couple bucks), some paper towels and an area to work (its easiest to do this in a corner of a room, on a small table or the floor). keep in mind you are dealing with ink, so change out of your good clothes just in case and also grab a paper plate or a few sheets of printing paper to set the ink cartridges on as you work.
1) ok. lets get started. !!!FIRST UNPLUG THE PRINTER RIGHT NOW, SO YOU DONT ACCIDENTALLY DIE BY ELECTROCUTION!!! i forgot and when i began unscrewing the first 6 screws, the chime kept going off and im like **bleep**? i was impressed by the safety measures hp took while engineering this model.
2) the printer is now unplugged and then go to your corner work area and place the printer so there is a wall or barrier on its left and also a wall or barrier behind it. do this while facing it as if you were about to use it.
3) now, what you have to do is open the printer like you are going to change the ink and on the right side there is a plastic guide that prevents the top from opening all the way. look on the side and you will notice it could pop off with your fingers. pop it off and open it all the way open so you could get at the screws the lid would have prevented you from accessing.
4) lean the scanner portion and top portion against the back wall.
5) all screws you will be removing are size T9H torx screws. there are ten total. there are 2 black screws in the front top and then 4 black screws in the back top. remove them and put them on your paper plate.
6) next is 1 short silver colored screw located under the control panel, use your finger and feel around beneath the * button. unscrew it, put it on the paper plate.
7) next you are going to remove the face/control panel to get at the last 3 screws so locate the little illustrations on the top of the printer, there are 2 on the bottom left and 5 on the bottom right (1 and 2 on the left explain paper jam removals and then 1-5 on the right explain changing ink cartridges). then about half an inch south of the number 5 illustration, on the lip, is a plastic bracket. six inches to the left is another one then 6 more inches to the left, under the illustration number 2 (paper jam removal) is a third bracket. undo them using your fingernails. and just flip it up like car hood and then lay it down on the main top portion of the printer, minding the flat wire which is connected into the circuit board of the control panel (if the flat wire popped out because you got too rowdy on it, then simply insert it back in when you reassemble).
8) next, unscrew the 3 longer silver screws which are located under the panel you just popped off. there is 1 on the left and 2 on the rightish side. toss em on the paper plate.
9) now that all the screws are removed, take the face panel and partially pop it back together.
10) then take the whole top ( the part with the little illustrations and lift it like a car hood, ONLY THIS TIME OPEN IT TO THE LEFT and balance it on the edge of the printer, leaning it towards the wall or barrier on your left. BE CAREFUL NOT TO YANK ON THE FRUIT STRIPE COLORED WIRES ON THE LEFT AND ALSO THE BLACK FLAT WIRE THAT CONNECTS THE SCANNING PORTION TO THE MAIN PORTION OF THE PRINTER.
11) next grab the needle nose pliers and remove the 2 silver colored tension springs located behind the printer cartridges. pay attention where they were attached so you remember where they go during assembly. take a pic with your phone if you have to or simply re-figure it out like i did. toss em on the paper plate.
12) then disconnect the 2 large flat wires and 1 small flatwire attached to the back of the ink carriage. take a picture or remember like i did. i imagine bad things may occur if you reverse them on re-assembly. grab the phone and take a quik pic to be sure.
13) now remove the ink carriage, cartridges and all, by lifting the front first. be careful of the little transparent ribbon in there that moves the carriage left to right and vice versa. you dont want to damage that little guy. now take the carriage to your paper plate. dont drip any ink or accidentally get it on your fingers without knowing or you will make a mess.
14) remove the ink cartridges and set them on the paper plate, ink side up to avoid a mess, these things sometimes drip. set the plate off to the side. its time to clean the print heads.
15) then go to the sink, with the empty ink carriage and turn the water on hot and then just let the empty ink carriage sit there with the water mainly going through the screen of the clogged color (inspect and make sure there isnt a little rubber gasket surrounding the little screen if there is dont lose it. i didnt look too closely and i dont think hp has them but i know some other printers do). it wont stain the sink but wash down any ink as it comes out to be sure. also notice there is a small circuit board attached to it. dont bang it up but getting it wet doesnt matter.
16) keep doing this until the water runs clear.
17) then use your finger and rub the screen gently with your finger and then rinse it, washing away the ink until the water runs clear. continue this until there is no more ink and the screens are clean. do it to all the colors just for good measures. the problem color that wouldnt print, you will notice takes longer to clean than the other colors.
18) now look on the bottom side of the carriage. those wierd looking things are the heads. rinse them with hot water and wipe them with paper towels. then flip it over and blast the screen side again. also in between the screenside and the heads (on the side of the carriage) is an opening that is also probably gunked up. blast it with water too. then flip it over and wipe the heads again. repeat this step until nothing wipes away or until you are sick and tired.
19) shake off then use paper towels to dry the entire unit. make sure the unit is dry. especially inside the female plugs. blow in it or break out the hair dryer and gently dry it. dont sit there and melt it though with the blow dryer. but the sooner it dries the less likely your ink cartridges sitting on the paper plate will dry out. the ink wont dry out fast just dont take a nap or go out on a date until you are reassembled with the ink portion.
20) now you have completed the cleaning of the heads and probably wont need to do this again for the length of time it was since you bought the printer. and just like a roadtrip you used a map to navigate, you will use these instructions in reverse for re-assembly. but keep in mind when re-inserting the 3 flatwires you disconnected from the back of the ink carriage, make sure you have the little metal contact points on the flatwires (male side) inserted so they touch the little metal contact points on the carriage plugs (female side). ALSO BE EXTRA CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE BLACK FLATWIRE CONNECTING THE SCANNER PORTION TO THE MAIN PRINTER PORTION. THERE IS A LITTLE GROOVE IN THE PLASTIC WHERE IT CAN BE SEATED TO GUARANTEE NO CRIMPAGE. USE IT. also make sure the 2 hinges of the scanner portion/lid are seated properly before fastening the the top with the 6 black screws.
now re-assemble the printer and reinstall the ink cartridges. and then plug in the unit, and turn it on. if you get any notifications on the control panel saying the carriage wont move, then open the hood and take out the ink cartridges, push around and make sure the carriage is seated properly and that the tensioner springs are in place properly. repeat if neccesary until notifications go away or just do a test print and disregard the notification if you messed with it already a few times. thats what happened to me and the notification went away on its own. once its online, open the hp utilities and press the "clean the heads" button. do it 2x in a row and you will be back in style, with extremely rich and bold colors and yes, raven black print.
p.s.
you can always take your aggressions out with the tree limb loppers or the tin snips like i did and snip out the center plastic that prevents you from taking the carriage directly out. this eliminates disassembly and re-assembly entirely. just make sure you DO NOT CUT THE TRANSPARENT RIBBON THAT MOVES THE CARRIAGE BACK AND FORTH. this way the next time it happens it only takes you 10 minutes before you are up and printing.

New cartridge, no black ink!

Installed 4 new inkcartridges in my HP PHotosmart 7520 one month ago. According to the tester thing it shows my cartridges are full.
Today, colors print fine but black prints in horizontaly streaks and barely readable. I am beside myself. Documents to print and nothing works right.
I have had nothing but trouble with these new fangled printers.
Cartridges are supremely expensive! I am only allowed to use genuine HP cartridges....
