Start-up stumbles with new motherboard, 10.5.5

The motherboard of my MacBook Pro recently died. It came back with a new motherboard and loaded with 10.5.5. Since then, the machine has balked on start-up. Sometimes, I get the tones, then a gray screen, then a freeze. On other occasions, it tries to start, gives up, goes black, and tries it again. It happens over and over. The machine never gets beyond a the apple screen. Eventually, I have to drop the battery to make the cycling stop. And then, there are those times when I get the black "curtain" dropping and a message in several languages that I have to restart. No kidding. I have managed to get it started on several occasions by blowing the P-RAM and cursing a lot. Once It is going, I use Onyx to try and keep it going.
Below is the message I got after one of those forced restarts:

Welcome to the Apple boards:
Without question I would return the computer to Apple for re-repair.
There could be another bad component, a bad connection or cable. You should not spend any time diagnosing what is most likely a hardware problem that you cannot easily fix anyway and doing so might void the warranty.
Panics are usually caused by bad RAM.
You might unplug and replug your RAM module(s) - the socket may be dirty - but even there be very careful. Beyond the RAM, I don't think there is much for you do to.

  • Sound Problem With new motherboard Z87-G45 Gaming

    2 days ago i bought a new motherboard msi Z87-G45 Gaming ,
    when i started playing my favorite game (cs go) i noticed that the sound at the left and right are louder(way louder it even hurts me ears )
    and the sound at the front and the back are just normal, i also noticed that quality of the sound is worse , so im wondering if the onboard soundcard is broken or has it to do with something else?
    and yes the Realtek Hd Audio driver is installed
    im using the onboard soundcard Realtek ALC1150
    and the headset Siberia V2 Steelseries
    I am new to the forum if i posted this in the wrong section or something i apologize
    i also like to apologize for my bad english.

    >>Posting Guide<<
    Apart from Realtek you could install Sound Blaster Cinema.
    Try to reinstall the drivers >>Realtek Downloads<< with the latest available.
    Try different headset/speakers.

  • Satellite X200-20S runs slower with new motherboard

    I wonder if anybody can help - under warranty I have just had a replacement motherboard. (Before the replacement the computer switched off within ten seconds of startup). Since replacement the computer is runnning at about 90% of the speed than while it was working pre-replacement. I have spoken with the Toshiba support who claim that without "hard facts" about the speed there is nothing they can do (ie. they won't book it back in). In some ways this is fair, however it simply is not as good as before and various tests I have done (which they claim to be subjective) consistently show that the computer is slower.
    Toshiba support really like the Windows Experience Index (WEI) which I currently have as 4.8 - I think this is the same as before the replacement - but I have read that even this isn't that reliable. Can anybody with a X200-20S please tell me their WEI score, and a 3DMark'06 score?
    After the motherboard was replaced I also got a new drive (BD-ROM) on E: Of course X200-20S models don't have Blu-Ray so this does show that the motherboard is different to the original, albeit the part number apparently being the same (according to Toshiba support).
    I would like to know if anybody else has had a similar problem, and whether they managed to find a resolution. I am aware that the warranty expires in November and therefore must get things done quickly if anything can be done.
    If you can help, please let me know.
    Many thanks!

    Hi Tonny,
    Thanks for your suggestion. In all the time I've had the computer I've never bothered changing power management options, so am treating like for like. Since you mentioned it I've just had a look to see what the cpu option is, and it's 100% for the maximum output. However it is running more slowly as mentioned in the previous post.
    I am convinced beyond doubt that the motherboard (which is the only thing to be replaced) is the cause of the problem. I have reset the computer to factory settings, installed the latest drivers; everything I can possibly do - and every test (including my memory of how games ran before) proves beyond doubt that the machine is running more slowly.
    I simply am at a loss as to how to get the machine back to the previous speed. I can only think it isn't possible because the new motherboard replacements don't work as efficiently as the originals - although with the advance in technology over two and a half years that doesn't seem quite right. I can't get Toshiba support to take this problem seriously, because nothing is "broken". I wonder if it's some jumpers, or settings on the board which weren't done correctly when it was replaced.
    Thanks again.

  • Site failing starting 9/21 with new Chrome and new Flash updates - PLEASE HELP!

    I have a vertical site for boating with 110,000 users.  The main part of the site is based around a 400KB swf that is mostly AS3.  It has worked flawlessly for years.  I haven't updated it in about 4 months.  There has been no server update that would be causing any issues at all in at least a month.
    All of a sudden on 9/21, some users started complaining that the main map view was all white.  Other things are not working correctly either.  It happened mostly with users who had automatic updates turned on in Google Chrome.  I understand that a new Flash version was auto-installed as a part of a Google update yesterday.
    I went to the Adobe Flash page and was prompted to update my player although I have 10.3.183.10 installed.  I didn't do that.
    Today people on other platforms are complaining that they're getting the same white screen although the bulk of our users are having no problems, probably because they haven't been updated.  It seems to happen in Internet Explorer and Firefox starting today.  I have a feeling these people had their Flash version updated.
    I updated to the beta v11 and now I'm experiencing the white screen blank problem - it is perfectly reproducible.
    To view the place where this is happening, go to:
    https://activecaptain.com/X.php
    The problem occurs on both OSX and Windows.  I don't think it is operating system involved at all.
    There are no errors, warnings, messages, traces, etc. coming out on the developer windows in Safari in v11.  Absolutely everything appears perfect except it isn't working at all.
    This is causing a major problem and I don't know what to do.

    Hi JeffActive,
    Sorry for all the inconvenience you encountered so far.
    We did investigation on your problem and found out it's related with our security update on 9/21/2011.
    When load your website with debugger plugin player, the following stack overflow errors are found:
    AS error occurred:
    Error: Error #1023: Stack overflow occurred.
                    at com.afcomponents.umap.gui::UIMapControl/getClassByName()
                    at com.afcomponents.umap.gui::UIMapControl/getClassByName()
                    at com.afcomponents.umap.gui::UIMapControl/getClassByName()
    This haven't been seen in flash player no later than 10,3,183,7.
    By confirming with our developers, in 10,3,183,10, we added some checks to detect stack overflow conditions. That's why 'Stack Overflow Occurred' errors are detected in your codes.
    If go to below security bulletin page, you can find more detailed information of security updates in 10,3,183,10:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-26.html
    As there are stack overflow errors in your codes, flash player(later than 10,3,183,10) avoids loading it. To fix the problem, need to fix those AS stack overflow errors in your codes.
    We don't have the source code of your swf file right now, so can't tell which AS codes cause this stack overflow issue. Could you test your swf file in our latest debugger player(10,3,183,10), then find out which lines of AS codes caused the problem? Once the stack overflow issue is solved, the swf should be loaded correctly.
    Again, sorry for all the inconvenience cause by this new security changes. We're improving our player to be more secure. We would be glad to work with you to solve your problem ASAP if any help needed from us.
    Thanks,
    Yan

  • Need advice on what do with new motherboard :(

    Back in January I ordered a P67-GD53 MSI motherboard from this company - www.ncix.com
    I installed the motherboard and drivers, things were working fine, until I noticed windows 7 would not boot up
    sometimes, It would hang at the welcome screen. The problem kept getting worse, until I could not boot up at all.
    i took my tower into a company called "Microbytes" which did a diagnosis. They said the "hard drive controller" on the motherboard was defective.
    Should I RMA the store I bought the motherboard from, or directly from MSI ??
    AND I realize the motherboard I bought is defective - the SATA 3Gbs port will be replaced by Intel eventually. If I RMA this motherboard now,
    does that mean I'll just end up getting a new defective motherboard ??
    Thanks for the advice....this is my first MSI motherboard, and it will be my last. I've never had these issues with Evga or Asus.  :(

    Keep such useless comments to yourself.  EVGA and ASUS have RMA departmens, too.  Also, how can you be sure that the board wasn't damaged during handling/shipping or because of electrical problems (statical surge)?

    Based on what testing methods did they come to this diagnosis?

    Did you put one a fresh installation of Windows 7?  Or did you take an old installation from another system?

  • Front Panel Connectors with new Motherboard

    Hello Lenovo Community, i have just purchased a new mother board(msi h55 e23) and have just installed it into my Lenovo 3000 h210. The only problem with it is the front panel connectors. I don't understand how they're supposed to work. I have a JFP1 and JFP2, yet i'm not sure where the front panel connectors go because im pretty sure they aren't your standard front panel connectors. Is there anyway to get by this without me having to purchase a new case?

  • Start Up Problems with new Lion OS X

    Every since I installed Lion on my two Macs, 5-6 programs open up at start up.  Have to go in and shut each one of them down before I can do anything else!
    Anyone else have this issue?  How do I fix this?
    Thanks!

    I'll try what you suggested but the "Resume" is opening up programs I have had opened since I installed Lion.
    That's what Resume does. It reopens the programs and files that were open when you shut down.

  • New motherboard can i reuse my OEM product key

    is it possible to use the windows 7 product key from my PC that came with the old motherboard on a new motherboard that i have right now and then use my upgrade key that i used earlier on the other motherboard to upgrade to windows 8 again with the same
    key? or would i have to buy a new windows 7 key and then use the upgrade key to get 8 again or.. would i just have to buy a whole new windows 8 key... i don't exactly make the largest amount of money i just got a new motherboard and CPU for my birthday i have
    the same harddrive same everything else except the mobo and cpu  

    Hi,
    I agree with britishdhez.
    In addition, normally the OEM Windows license is tied to the motherboard. It could not work with new motherboard.
    Meanwhile, you can post to Windows 7 Genuine Advantage forum to get more insights.
    http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=genuinewindows7
    Or, you’d better to contact the laptop manufacturer directly to consult the issue. In this way, your issue can be fixed efficiently.
    Hope it helps.

  • Clash of old passwords with new

    Hi there,
    I've just got a new Intel iMac and have used target mode to successfully transfer all my old settings and other files to the new computer from the old. Now that I have done so I still want to use my old iMac on a home network and on the internet. Because I have transferred everything from the old computer will all my old passwords and other settings clash when I go to use Airport? Is the best option to wipe the old machine clean and start it afresh with new passwords (safe in the knowledge all that I want is on the new machine)? I look forward to your help.
    Cheers

    You shouldn't be required to do anything with the old Mac unless you want to.
    Assuming you have your Airport wireless network password protected and encrypted, this won't or shouldn't cause a clash or conflict since all you are doing is connecting each computer to your wireless network via the wireless network password saved in your login Keychain which is identical on both Macs. No different from any other computer - Mac or PC connecting to your wireless network via the password you enter or provide someone else which will be saved on that computer for later/future access.
    I made use of the Migration Assistant when I purchased my PB 1&1/2 years ago transferring everything from my TiBook. No problems accessing anything with either Mac after doing so including my Airport wireless network.
    Even if you do wipe everything on your old Mac, in order to access your wireless network will require entering the same password again for your wireless network and the same for any other passwords required for access - websites, email, etc., etc.
    Really no point in performing an Erase & Install unless you plan on giving this Mac to someone else or allowing someone else to use it as if their own.

  • I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board.

    I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
    P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.

    Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
    If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
    If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

  • Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.

    Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.

    That shows you that iPhoto is working correctly and whatever issue you are having is based in your original library.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
