SSD Install - System Problems

I'm posting this hoping someone has an answer for my dilemma.
This weekend I installed a Samsung 256 SSD in my MB Pro unibody 15. I formatted the SSD with GUID and did a zero erase. I then installed OS X from the disc that came with my laptop three months ago. This had 10.5.5 on it. Once the install was completed and the computer re-booted I came to the migration screen. I selected the option to migrate my data from the old hard drive that I connected via a SATA docking device. This then transferred my user folder, applications, preferences etc to the new drive. I then ran Software Update and installed all the updates that were relevant.
I'm now experiencing frequent system hangs where I get the spinning beach ball. At first I thought it was related to Safari as it happens there a lot. But then this morning it's happened numerous times in the finder.
My feeling is the problem is related to the data migration. However, I dread the thought of wiping everything and re-installing as that took me quite some time to complete on Sunday. Any suggestions on how I might remedy this problem?

Dan, according to what I've been able to learn you should not be getting CRC errors. These errors mean there's a connection/transfer problem with the drive. I got over 2,000 of these after using my drive for 3 days. I had constant spinning beach balls. It would happen every 5 to 15 minutes and sometimes 5 times in 10 minutes. It was very aggravating. I contacted the person I bought the drive from and am returning it for replacement.
I did try checking the SATA connection and re-securing. This didn't solve my problem. I had originally used Super Duper to clone my HDD to the SSD and had the same problems. I then tried a wipe and re-install and migration assistant and the same problem. So quite obviously the drive I had was bad. I also had very slow write speeds compared to other benchmarks that I seen for the same drive.
I will see what happens with the replacement drive when it arrives. One thing for sure is that these SSD's aren't the be all end all that I thought they were. I've done lot's of research on them since I took delivery and there's lot's of problems with all the drives from what I can see.
Good luck with your's and keep us posted.

Could you please someone help me with this?
Thanks

Sorry to bump this, but I'm having the exact same error tonight on my HTPC, any chance you found out what the problem was ?
To make matters worse, it's not happening every single time, but maybe every 4 out of 5 boots (same kernel, no changes in between.)
I thought this was a kernel issue related to this:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/10/359
I've tried adding atkbd and psmouse to my mkinitcpio.conf MODULES section and rebuilt, but no change.
I changed the NVidia driver from nvidia-304xx to nvidia-full-beta-all ( 334.21 ) from AUR but it had the same error at the same place.
Here's the part from `dmesg` where it borks:

HP TM2 SSD install worked (with problem)

i have hp tm2 2150st and Corsair f120 SSD. i install windows 7 a few times on it . Operating system installed and notebook worked. but when i start, my tm2's fan worked full speed and very noisy, and stop only when shutdown notebook, not even restart. When notebook works on this condition, i looked at device manager and see "intel management engine interface" problem. i install driver over and over but problem never changed. Also i use AIDA64 software for notebook condition and see motherboard temperature is 88 °C.
Then i install original 320 GB HDD and reinstal windows, it worked fine.
I read some TM2 owners post , who use ssd (with some problem cold boot etc.) but didnt see any report like this. so what is my problem, hardware or only ssd incompability.
P.S. : I update BIOS,Chipset etc. drivers
LAST: Today problem continue altough my original HDD in notebook. so i'll send it to customer service.

Hi,
Do you mean physically ? If they are same size, should fit, I can not touch to your machine therefore can not help. Just try it slowly.
Regards
ps. I have not replaced any HDD on laptop/PC but hundreds on other platforms.

Ok no difference, I don't get any drive errors that seem significant or numerous, sometimes I don't get any at all, the disk always verifies and I haven't had to run a repair on it yet. I've gotton one or two drive errors, I'll save them next time I run either DU or DW.... however with permissions, there are a lot and they all fix (except: see below: Last 3: ACL errors are always there) but as I keep having to do force quits and system re boots they keep coming back; posted them below IDK if this will help you to help me, LOL... but figured it couldn't hurt, the ones below are re-occuring I know i've seen them b4. . . Don't know if this makes a difference but on initial install I had several font conflicts w/system fonts, I renamed suitcases and that error message hasn't come back . . . but do you think this could be a font issue . . . I have like 12,000 fonts of which a couple hundred are ususally always active . . . IDK it doesn't make sense to me it would be, but you never know... just a shot in the dark
I also saved my last PS crash report and it was like 100 Pages long, I've never seen one that long, I make a pdf of it and post link to my idisk, if its something that you can interpet.

Problem installing System 7.0 to a Macintosh Classic

Hi people,
I have a Macintosh Classic with 6.0.7 Greek version and wanted to install System 7.0 English version.I started my installatin an after disc 3 classic wants the fonts disc.Then there was error message that the disc is right bit the filew inside the disc are not.I abort the installation there because there is nothing else to do and tried too hard.Now the computer is System 7.o without any fonds and i cant read the most of the systems files.What can i do to install the fonds properly and continue with te other discs?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Stelios,
>My other iMac G3 has 9 Os but dosnt seem to recognize the external floppy drive.
You could perhaps check whether a special driver is available/needed for that model. It ought to work without, but you never know with USB. Does System Profiler detect the drive as such (do not expect anything on the Desktop until a floppy has been inserted)? If someone you know has a powered USB hub, it may also be worth testing (in order to guarantee the best possible power supply to the drive).
>If i can use this usb external drive i have all the system 7.0 downloaded and i will try to make floppies to install it from the begining.
It is usually better to create properly sector-copied floppies on the old Macintosh computer (with the built-in floppy drive). A USB floppy drive connected to the iMac G3 would then be used for plain transfers to the Classic. Keep any MacBinary (.bin) or BinHex (.hqx) encoding intact as long as possible, preferably until on the Classic, where StuffIt Expander (see below) can be used for the decoding.
A fresh System 7.0 can be downloaded from Apple, but System 7.0.1 may be a better choice (2 MB of RAM is the absolute minimum, I would recommend 4 MB)
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English -North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_7.0.x/System_7.0.smi.bin
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English -North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_7.0.x/System_7.0.1.smi.bin
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA28534
Both system software downloads are approx. 5 MB. If sector-copied floppies are to be made on the Classic (from the .smi contents), the large downloaded (.smi.bin) file will have to be segmented before the transfer on floppies. I do not know whether the shareware program SplitIt (2.0) will work under Mac OS 9, but you may want to test it. Once on the Classic, the file segments can be joined.

>i dont have access to a PC except the fact that i can go to some friend and prepere a diskette there.
You will need an appropriate version of StuffIt Expander for the decoding on the Classic. You could ask your PC friend for help here:
With access to a Windows PC (capable of running a DOS program) with a floppy drive, try the following. Go to http://rrzs42.uni-regensburg.de/Macintosh/files/macftp.html and download the MACDISK.EXE file. Then, prepare an empty 1.44 MB PC-formatted floppy via the FORMAT A: command under DOS or the "full" formatting option under Windows (do this even if the diskette is new and empty). Run the MACDISK.EXE (DOS) program on the PC. Follow the instructions on screen. The result will be a Mac-formatted (sic!) floppy complete with a ready-to-use StuffIt Expander 4.0.1 installer for Macintosh that can be used to install the utility on the Classic.
Now, you could transfer Disk Copy 4.2 (a .bin file) from the iMac G3 to the Classic (Disk Copy 4.2 is used to create exact sector-copied floppy disks from images, via the Make A Copy button).
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English -North_American/Macintosh/Utilities/Disk_Copy/Disk_Copy_4.2.sea.bin
A Network Access floppy is useful (will work as a startup floppy, which can be used if/when one wants to mount .smi files). Create the floppy on the Classic using Disk Copy 4.2.

New ssd install in MBP 5,3 (mid 2009 model)

Hello,
New to ssd installing and terminology used in some of the discussion forums I have been reading!
About to install my new ssd and have a few questions before starting. (ssd is a crucial M500 480gb)
I'll try to be a blunt as I can because I tend to ramble on.......
1. Do I upgrade/downgrade efi? (Read in other discussions)
2. Do I enable/disable trim? (Read in other discussions)
3. I am currently running 10.6.8 and wanted to purchase the newest OS possible to install. I've read of a few issues of ML and the battery drain issues. Is it best to just stay with my 10.6.8 for now?
4. I also purchased an 8gb ram upgrade over the current 4gb ram to do at the same time. Don't I have to reset something once I power the MBP back up to recognize the ram?
5. I purchased an external case to put the (currently in the computer) hdd in once I take it out. I planned on installing the ssd, putting the current hdd in the case, and migrating only my contacts, iTunes library, iPhoto library, and my flip videos from it. I have the original install disc from my MBP-can't I just install it onto the ssd from the DVD drive? (I hear of people installing the OS from USB-is there any disadvantage/advantage to this over my install disc?). I'm just wondering if it will give me the option of installing from the DVD drive once the ssd is installed and blank. ??
6. Is there anything else I should consider migrating to my new ssd?
I think that's it. Thanks!!

This maybe too late, but here it goes:
1. Do I upgrade/downgrade efi?
- do not mess about with that. I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro and am running 2x SSD drives inside without a problem. Only look in to EFI upgrading if the Negotiated Link Speed in System Information (Under Sata) is not reported as 3 Gigabit but rather as 1.5, once you install the SSD
2. Do I enable/disable trim? (Read in other discussions)
- some people report advantage from trim being enabled. I've personally noticed lockups during shutdown so keep it off. Typical SSD these days have grabage collection, but it is up to you in the end of the day.
3. I am currently running 10.6.8 and wanted to purchase the newest OS possible to install.
- don't purchase anything and download Mavericks for free, battery life will improve
4. I also purchased an 8gb ram upgrade over the current 4gb ram to do at the same time. Don't I have to reset something once I power the MBP back up to recognize the ram?
- the mac will recognise the ram anyway. You should however rest SMC see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
5. I purchased an external case to put the (currently in the computer) hdd in once I take it out. I planned on installing the ssd, putting the current hdd in the case, and migrating only my contacts, iTunes library, iPhoto library, and my flip videos from it. I have the original install disc from my MBP-can't I just install it onto the ssd from the DVD drive? (I hear of people installing the OS from USB-is there any disadvantage/advantage to this over my install disc?). I'm just wondering if it will give me the option of installing from the DVD drive once the ssd is installed and blank. ??
- yes by inserting the Disk in to the optical drive and holding 'C' during startup wil take you to the boot options, where you can format the SSD drive and install the OS
- advantage of OS on USB is faster install (quicker read speed) and for those people like me who substituted the optical drive for another HDD or SSD.
6. Is there anything else I should consider migrating to my new ssd?
- depending on your previous HDD size (and file sizes - looks like you have lots of photos and videos), make sure you watch what files you are bringing over as you can quickly run out of space on the SSD. You can use OmniDiskSweeper for example, to tell you wat files on your disk use the most space etc.
Hope this helps. And I am sure someone else will come up withh more suggestions

IBook doesn't wake up after SSD install

Hello, i've recently installed a 64Gb kingspec PATA SSD to my iBook G4 1.2Ghz. All it's running well, Leopard detected the drive, installed without problems and the system is more fast and responsive. I only have a problem when waking up from sleep. The screen turns on, i can move the mouse and also the dock can be accesed but in few seconds the computer freezes and i have to hard power down. I can't launch any application and the logs show nothing.After reboot all goes fine.
I've tried the following, without luck:
* S.O reinstall
* Tryin different hibernate modes using pmset, including disksleep=0.
* I've disable "sleep the disk when possible"
For any unknow reason the system can't write on the disk when waking up.
Any help?

If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following lines:
reset-nvram
press Return on keyboard
set-defaults
press Return
reset-all
press Return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still did'nt work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.
Cheers!

Issue installing System Update 5.01

Hello all I am having an issue installing System update 5.01. I looked in the logs within the temp directory and it says error 1602 which is user canceled. However, I am not canceling the install. I also tried http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall that didn't work either.
I'm on a T420 with Windows 7 64bit.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time

I had similar issues installing 5.01. I believe there is something wrong with the package. Here is how I fixed it:
Download installer from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=TVSU-UPDATE
Extract package with 7zip
Copy "Lenovo System Update.msi" to "System Update.msi"
Run setup.exe
For some reason the installer was looking for this file and it wasn't there, perhaps running the installer in silent/unattended mode caused it to exit with the code you mentioned.
I hope this fixes your problem too!

Slow system – problem with OS, software, memory, hard drive?

I am running a MacBookPro5,3 (Intel Core 2 Duo – 2.8 GHz, Memory = 2 x 4 GB, Hard drive = NVidia 500 GB - 100GB of which is free space), using Mac OS X 10.6.3.
I was running 10.6.6. Then attempted a software update to 10.6.7 and the system essentially stopped working, Was able to back up data using target disk mode, and then reinstalled 10.6.3 using a purchased snow leopard DVD (had lost the disk that came with the computer). Worked for a while but have been having issues with increasingly long and frequent system slow downs (spinning beach ball). Recently attempted another system update, and the update failed and wasn't able to do anything. Used the 10.6.3 dvd and did a disk utility check – it initially said there was a problem with the hard drive – but on another restart from the DVD this issue disappeared (but still no working OS). Attempted connection of my computer to another laptop using target disk mode – this failed to show the target hard drive and only showed the dvd which was in the computer booted up in target disk mode.
At this point rebooted using the DVD and was able again to install system 10.6.3. However, there are still occasions of sporadic slow-downs associated with specific applications (spinning beach ball for anywhere from 5 – 120 sec). Ran disk utility from the DVD again – states that the permissions and the hard drive is OK. Also, ran a memory test (using Rember) which stated that everything was fine (although the test took nearly 2 hours to run and was punctuated by much spinning beach ball activity).
At this stage i am not sure whether I have a problem with memory, the hard drive, the OS or the software. Clearly something is not right – are there any other options to test my system (since I don't have the original dvd – I haven't been able to run a system hardware test) - other third party options?
Thanks in advance for any advice, and apologies for long post.
Rob

Sounds like a failing hard drive or SATA controller. It's not clear whether you have a backup of your data. If not, you should remove the hard drive from the machine and install it an external enclosure or dock, then back it up using another Mac. Then take the unit to an authorized service outlet for testing.

How to install system 9.1 on second drive of a G4 while running OS 10.5.8 on primary drive

I am Using a G4 OS 10.5.8, trying to install system 9.1 on an erased/reformated disk with system 9 drivers option selected. Can't boot with a 9.1 install disk by holding C key on startup. When booted with sys 10.5.8 attempting to install sys 9 on the reformatted drive yields error "classic functions are no longer supported" no luck just copying the software from the install disk, even though the drive shows up as an available startup drive, it never gets a spinning wheel during startup attempts.
Thinking about reinstalling the original powermac G4 software (there are other partitions or drives available) but trying the path of least resistance first.
Totally open to suggestions

Since you are running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on that machine, unless you used one of the unsupported install methods your G4 has a processor that is 867MHz or faster (that's one of the requirements for Leopard).
Assuming that is the case, you will never be able to boot the machine to OS 9.1, or to any retail OS 9 Install CD.
The first G4 which met the 867MHz requirement was the QuickSilver '02 model (only the mid and upper speed units); all G4 MDD models meet that requirement.
All of the preceding which are OS 9 bootable (the G4 MDD FW800 model is not OS 9 bootable) can use only the model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 which shipped with them as a bootable OS 9.
The QS '02 models used a stand-alone OS 9.2.2 Install CD, labelled Software Install. Installation of OS 9.2.2 using that is straight-forward - boot the machine to the Software Install CD, and install OS 9.2.2 on the second drive.
The MDD models are a bit different. They came with a combination installer disk, one which booted to OS X but which was capable of also installing OS 9.2.2 (Classic, I think it is referred to in the installer's jargon).
Unfortunately, the installer on those disks seems to have a restriction - it will install OS 9 (Classic) only onto a volume which already has OS X installed on it. So, how to get OS 9-only on the second drive? Two ways -
A) Install OS 9 (Classic) onto the main drive, then copy it via drag-and-drop onto the second volume. Once placed there and tested for booting, remove the install of it placed on the original drive. Be sure to copy the folders named System Folder, Applications (Mac OS 9), and Documents; if there is a free-standing folder named Utilities, copy that too (it often is placed into the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder).
Possible issues -
* since the OS X on the original drive is Leopard, a substantly newer version that that on the OEM disk set, the installer on that disk set may balk at doing this.
• aliases will be broken by copying the system and support files to the second drive. This can include an alias to Sherlock in the Apple Menu Items folder in System Folder and perhaps one or more in the Application Support folder in System Folder. Alises can be repaired - do a Get Info on an alias, and the Get Info window will display a button which can be used to reconnect the alias to the appropriate original.
B) Install OS X (the version on the original install CD set) onto the second drive. Then install OS 9 (Classic) onto that drive. Once it has been tested for booting, throw away the OS X system and files from that drive.
Possible issue - deleting OS X can leave behind some invisible files. Unless you are very short on disk space, these should present no problem and can be ignored - OS 9 will not (can not) attempt to use them.

Can i install system 7 on a zip drive?

Hi
I own a Mac plus and i'd like to connect it to the internet. I had a look at a few web browsers, like MacWWW "Samba" but it isn't great. I'd like to try out MacWeb, but it requires system 7. It appears I need to install system 7 on a hard disk to do so. Problem is, I don't have any SCSI hard disk... and they are quite expensive on ebay. So I was wondering, is it possible to install it on a zip drive? They are quite inexpensive and I already have zip disks at home.
I've never hooked one up to a "classic" Mac, so I hope the os recognises it as a drive and not as a floppy. If not, I'm afraid this won't work...
Thanks,
Bad Gold Eagle
PS: My Mac has 1Mb of RAM, I've got a copy of 7.1. Is 1Mb enough for the early version of MacWeb (1.1.1E)?

Hello,
A Zip drive can be connected to a Macintosh Plus. The following web page has further information about this:
http://www.vintagemacworld.com/pluszip.html
System 7 requires at least 2 MB of RAM. In order to connect a 68000 processor machine to the Internet, you should really have the maximum amount of RAM, though (in this case 4 MB).
An older Internet FAQ could possibly be of interest to you:
http://www.knubbelmac.de/spiegel/mac-internet-faq-2002-12.html
You may also need access to another appropriate approx. 1991-1997 Macintosh computer (with a floppy drive for both 800K and 1.44 MB) to be used as an intermediary for software downloads.
System 7.1 came on 1.44 MB floppy disks, which cannot be used directly on a Macintosh Plus. A full US System 7.0 on 800K floppy disk images contained in a larger self-mounting image (.smi) is available for download from Apple:

When dowloading itunes, constantly get error message 'Apple Mobile Device -could not be installed- Verify you have sufficient privileges to install system services.

When downloading itunes to my pc, get error message 'Apple mobile device could not be installed - verify you have sufficient privileges to install system services'
i am forced to abort/cancel. Can anyone help please?

Me too. And if someone comes back on here with the same solution of "uninstall and re-install", please provide further advice after you have done that 3 times and the program still has the same problem in addition to the "failure to load the C runtime library" R6034 issue. I have removed itunes 3 times however I do not have permission to remove the program files/apple file and the uninstall doesn't remove it.
You're not alone buddy.
Frustrated.

Itunes 10.2.2 not installing message is -Service 'ipad service'could not be installed. verify that you have sufficient privelge to install system services . I have windows 7 , am administrator in windows 7, but i have an iphone not an ipad, Hints?

I tunes tries to update over and over again to 10.2.2. Each time it fails and lists message"Service 'ipad service'could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privelege to install system services."
I have an iphone and use itunes to update it. I do not have an ipad if that is an issue. Is this problem related to apple, or to Windows vista? I am system administrator on Windows 7 so the problem must be related to apple. I would appreciate a clue as to what I need to do. Or are there sufficient problems with 10.2.2 that I should be happy it will not update? This problem is getting beyond annoying since i have work to do other than cater to apple itunes.

I would say it is Windows.
Which are you using btw, Vista or 7?
And did you download the 64-bit version if that is what you run?
There were a lot of tips to troubleshoot (never needed to in 4 yrs though knock on wood).
Uninstall itunes
run chckdsk and sfc /scannow
CCleaner 3.05
If 7 did you upgrade to SP1? Driver Sweeper has been known to cause some problems with Windows 7 SP1

CS1 Install/Uninstall Problems ?

I can't uninstall CS1, nor can can I reinstall Photoshop from CS1, which is presently not installed. My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium. I am out of warranty and Adobe will not provide suppport. I have read all I can find about FLEXnet licensing suspecting there is a connection. When I try to either install or uninstall CS1, I get an error message from Microsoft saying that "Adobe CS1 installer has stopped working". There is no other information unless I open the Adobe File folder for Photoshop from CS1 that I saved to my desktop. I can initiate the install procedure from that folder, but when prompted for the original product serial number a message states that the serial number I have provided is invalid. I have talked with Adobe however, and their records indicate that I have a valid serial number.
I have gone to "Services" using the administrative tools in the control panel and tried setting FLEXnet Licensing on manual, then on automatic, and finally disabling it temporarily. I have gone to the Start Up menu on the desktop and entered "msconfig" in the search box and gone to services where FLEXnet was at first "stopped" and is now "running".
On some forums there are recommendations to first copy and save FLEXnet to another area of the hard drive, then delete it altogether from its original location, and then uninstall ALL Adobe software in the computer before reinstalling everything. Other contributors strongly caution the removal of FLEXnet, and some users have complained of ongoing problems after deleting FLEXnet. Firstly, I'm not sure I can figure out how to copy and save FLEXnet to another drive, and secondly I'm afraid of the possible results. Even if I can accomplish those tasks I don't know if that procedure will then allow me to either uninstall the portion of CS1 still in my computer, or reinstall the Photoshop that presently won't install. By the way, all the CS1 programs that remain in my computer are operational. Photoshop is the only missing component.
I am not well versed in technology, and much that I read in the forums is only partially comprehensible to me. If you have the patience and knowledge to help me unravel this mess I would love your help. Thanks. Harrison

Thank you Bob. It was very nice of you to write. I have been using CS1 with Vista since Vista came out. I'm aware that compatibility is considered a significant issue. Fortunately, I never had any problems until now, although I would have replaced CS1 with a more recent and compatible version if money were not part of the equation for me.
Adobe told me that if I bought the CS5 they would help me straighten out any issues now caused by the CS1, but otherwise they would not help. I did not think to ask if Adobe has designed CS5 to be compatible with Vista, but I will. I may buy the more recent version out of necessity, but it does not seem unreasonable to me that Adobe should help someone with a valid serial and registration number access their software regardless of warranties. The problem at hand seems to be a glitch in the licensing application provided by FLEXnet that I presume protects Adobe from unauthorized use of their products. I am wondering how much this situation actually has to do with system compatibility, given that I have been using the software for roughly two years with Vista, or whether it is simply that Adobe's FLEXnet licensing shield can work against legitimate users under certain circumstances. Adobe did not mention FLEXnet to me, but I would like to know one way or the other if FLEXnet is at the core of the problem.
Thank you again Bob for writing. I may wipe my OS clean and reload everything. I suspect the CS1 might work then, but I do realize that CS1 is old by technological standards, in spite of the fact that I would gladly continue to use it. I am among those people that find the cost of keeping current very difficult, and I find it exasperating that so many products and services become obsolete very rapidly when considering their relative cost. Have a nice weekend.
Best Regards,
Harrison

System problems (all new hardware)

well as the subject says i have system problems, let me explain in details.
this happened yesterday, when i use the computer (moving the mouse arround) the computer is fine and works as it should CPU, GPU and so on is fine and normal in usage and temp but as soon as i let go of the mouse and wait arround 2 min, all my 8 cores (i7 3.5Ghz) goes 100% and GPU goes 100% with 70C ++ temp and the fans starts running crazy.... but as soon as i start moving my mouse arround again everything goes back to normal :S
and this affects movies i watch and games, making it lagg like crazy :S
i have NEVER EVER EVER in my life encounter such a strange error / fault whatever it is :S i have tryed unplugging my mouse, still encounter the problem, tryed installing GPU driver again (fresh install), tryed rolling back GPU driver, but that didnt work.... as i figured out that my entire system was overloading when i wasnt "using" the computer (moving the mouse arround) :S
and just to be clear, all hardware is BRAND NEW!!!! motherboard, cpu, memory, watercooling system (CPU)..... and they worked fine uptill yesterday :S (strangly enough right after i installed Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012) :S but i dont think that has ANYTHING to do with this "error"...
i could also mention that when i have "Task Manager" up this error doesnt happen (with the 100% on all 8 cores and GPU getting 70C and so on)....
REALY need some help here!!!?
