System hanging up on startup when Image Card reader plugged into front

My motherboard is a MSI 845PE Max2. When I plug in an image card reader into one of my front usb ports after the machine has been turned on the images are read fine no problem. Should I shut the machine down and restart it the machine hangs on the white screen displaying the MSI logo and the notice to hit the tab and other key to skip the messages. I have tried to hit any and every combination of keys but nothing happens. Even when I try to press the restart button on my machine nothing happens. I literally have to use the power switch in back of the case to get the machine to start up again and have to remove the Image card reader from the front usb port. Can anyone offer some advice on how I can fix this?

It is then obviously a compatibility issue with that particular card reader and that particular board model. As your board is long time EOL ("End-of-life") and has been replaced by two generations already there will be no further updates. What bios versions did you try already?

  • Motherboard hangs on POST when USB card reader is plugged in

    Hi there, I am using the MSI Z77A-GD65 GAMING motherboard. I am using the following USB card reader which I bought from a local store: Amazon.com: Epraizer Universal Flash & SIM Card Reader/Writer, USB 2.0: Computers & Accessories
    However, whenever I boot with this device, my BIOS is stuck at error code 'C6'. A check on AMI's website shows that this related is probably related to boot devices. I am able to boot fine with other USB devices plugged in, such as USB thumbdrive and USB hard disk.
    At first, I thought it was a problem with my device but I can boot fine with the memory card reader plugged in on all my other computers. This makes me wonder if there is a firmware fault? I have tried disabling legacy USB and removing USB devices from boot order, but nothing helps. I have seen that in the forums some BIOS updates for some motherboards fix this issue, for example: **Official MSI Z77 Mpower Discussion Thread** - Overclockers UK Forums , where in one of the BIOS update the changes reads: Fix the issue that the system will hang 0xB4 or 0x99 when use customer usb cable or usb cardreaders.(USB cardreader: KAMA reader Tr, Akasa card reader).
    So I was wondering if it's a common issue with MSI motherboards? Will there be a fix or my motherboard is now too old to be supported? I purchased this motherboard two months ago btw
    P.S it works fine when I plug it in in Windows. I have tried both the ports in front and at the back, USB 2 or 3.

    I would prefer to answer in your post. as I have tried on two occasions to help.. so far this is the first time I can see you stated  you are using Lion.
    1. Did you download and install the 5.6 utility..?
    I said to do it.. you never said yes.. I did that.
    Please do it. .. you will get no place before you do.
    2. Did you bridge the TC.. ?
    If so it will work perfectly.. please post a screen shot of the summary page from the 5.6 utility. If something is wrong I can work it out from there.
    3. Or ring apple support and get them to walk you through the setup.. there should be phone support for the first week or two.

    4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)

  • Hang in word/preview when do a "save as" into a folder

    Since upgrading to 10.6 I have noticed that I am having problems with certain applications "hanging" when do a "save as" into a folder found using the search box in the "save as" dialog box. This seem most prevalent with word and preview but also seems to happen with saving attachments from mail.
    The most common scenario is you get a word attachment in mail, double click to open it (word 2008) and then once it is open in mail (or preview for a pdf), select "save as", once the dialog box opens search for a folder by name once the folder is found double click on it to open and then do a "save". The file seems to save, the dialog box close and then about 2 seconds later the application hangs with the pizza wheel and has to be forced quite. This is absolutely reproducable in word.
    Simply opening a file and doing a save as in the same way seems to have the same problem
    Excel and Powerpoint don't seem to have the same problem.
    If you manually navigate to the folder you want to save the file into there is no problem.
    I have rebuilt spotlight, run repair privileges, run the font book to remove any damaged fonts etc with no luck.
    Firstly I would like some people to try and reproduce the problem to see if it is "universal".
    Secondly, if not a specific 10.6 bug any thoughts on what might be the problem?

    Some further information.
    Tried saving attachments from Mail using the above described method on another Mac and had the same hang.
    Sequence:
    Find an email in Mail with attachments
    Click on the little "save" button and select "save all"
    When the dialog window opens use the search box in the top right hand corner of the window to search for a folder (any folder).
    Double click on the found folder so it opens
    Click on the "save" button.
    The files save, the dialog window closes and a few seconds later word hangs with the spinning pizza wheel of death.
    You then have to force quit word.
    Note the files were saved successfully into the selected folder
    Looks to me like a clear system bug.
    Interested in other people trying this to confirm its existence, so far 3/3 Macs updgraded to 10.6.1 show this bug.

  • When using Card Reader, the automatic downloader is not working in Photoshop Elements 8

    I have Windows Vista and just upgraded to Photoshop Elements 8.0. The Elements program is not automatically launching when I insert a CF card in my PC. The settings I have for the camera or card reader is 1) Begin download -immediately 2) Shot date 3)Delete Options - After copying, Verify and Delete Originals. When I was using Photoshop Elements 6.0 and inserted a memory card in the PC, the elements program would automatically launch and after photos were transferred, it would ask if you wanted to delete photos from the card reader.
    I tried changing the settings from the Download options from Generic Device - show APD Dialog (Standard) to the Automatic Download option but that didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the automatic downloader work and bring up the option to delete from the card reader? If not, I will have to uninstall Elements 8 and go back to Elements 6.0
    Thanks.

    First of all be sure your space bar isn't stuck. Secondly, if you have a flash window open, you may need to close it to get rid of the hand (this happens a lot when people have a tutorial open in the background).

  • TS3694 My Iphone4s is stuck on the image saying to plug into Itunes but when I do, and I update, the computers says it is in recovery mode to fix the phone first, but I can'nes image, even after restarting and taking ou

    My phone is stuck with the image of 'plug into itunes' on the face when I try to install ios7. after installing all but the ios7 the comp. says the phone is in 'restore mode error 6, and says to restore it first from the phone b4 I can use itunes but, again, my phone is stuck in the 'plug into itunes' image ????

    The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you.  It is owned by your friend.
    I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do.  Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
    In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way.

  • Lightroom opens when a Card Reader or Camera is connected [Windows]

    Issue: Photoshop Lightroom opens each time a card reader or camera is connected, or an all-in-one printer is turned on.

    Don and John,
    I must be dumber than I could possibly look, but I do thank you both for your help.
    Don, I have already checked and un-checked that first check item in "import" under preferences, to no avail. I have crossed refferenced it with my MacBook and regardless of whether it is the same or different the problem still occures.
    John, I will admit to being smart enough to change from PC to Mac relatively recently but appear dumb enough to not being able to discover how to set the Mac to do nothing on card insert as you describe.... could you advise please.
    Many thanks

  • When my iPhone is plugged into iTunes...music disappeared!

    When my iphone is plugged in and connected to itunes now, it shows audio is on my phone (taking up space) but none of my music shows up in my library for the phone. It says "Zero Items." My music is still on my phone as well! Why is this happening all of a sudden? Everything is updated: itunes, iphone, macbook...

  • Spinning noise when power adapter is plugged into pb

    when I plug my power adapter into the powerbook, i get a noise smilar to a hard drive spinning. Unplug it and the noise is gone.
    Any ideas?

    I too have periodically experienced a strange noise (spinning/hissing/scratching) coming from the area where the power adapter cord plugs in to my powerbook. The sound is louder than my HD activity.
    It happens only after plugging in the power cord while the computer is on with a semi-discharged battery. If I shut the computer down while it is making the noise, the sound level decreases durring the shutdown and becomes very quiet when powered off (possibly stops). The noise also stops when the cord is unpluged with the computer running but returns when plugged back in without restarting the system.
    This does not occur every time I plug in as described above.

  • Is there a way to make the clock show when the phone is plugged into the charger, rather than have the screen go blank?

    Hey guys,
    I just finally got my first smart phone (I know), an iPhone 4S. I was wondering if there was a way to make it so when the phone is plugged in, the screen stays on but is dimly lit or something, just so I can see the clock without having to press the button? However, I'd want this to be automatic, as I want the screen to go blank when the phone isn't plugged in. I don't want to have to change the setting each time I plug in the phone. I kind of obsessively look at my phones' clocks when I am doing other things and can't be bothered to reach over and press the button.
    I couldn't find an option in Settings, so I came here. If there's no way to do it naturally in iOS 5, is there an app someone can recommend?
    Appreciate it in advance!

    Just I tried it on my phone and looks like you can't.

  • Card, cant plug into my pismo

    I bought a airport card that i had plugged into a MDD dual 867
    and I sold the machine and wanted to install it in my pismo powerbook. I found the box and it has a part number M7600LL/C, the plug does not seem to fit. I looked at my wifes box for her iBook airport card and it says M7600LL/E
    Everything i have found says this card should work for my pismo. I have followed the installation instructions. It just seems the plug will not plug in
    TIA

    what are the different part numbers...
    The /C and /E are just revision letters and are irrelevant. Either will work.
    ...and why will the card I have not plug into the pismo
    Have you tried flipping the card over? Perhaps you are putting it in upside down. Or perhaps it isn't aligned properly with the slot.
    Other than that, it should work without any problems.
