System reboots with audigy2 value. get irql less than or not equil. please help new c

hello my name is carlos
my system reboots at random (more in games) with audigy 2 value..
could someone please advise me on the problem i have with my new audigy 2 card. i would like to get it working and not have to get another card. i got this one because my onboard sound is so junky with midi music and has a poor s/n on recording. the blaster card seems to meet my expectations except for the reboots.
i have read on forums about this same issue with ati video cards in the 9200+ range so i thought that might be the cause but i went back to the onboard audio and the problem went away.
at random my system reboots. i get an error.. irql_not less than or equil or something like that and then it reboots. i let it submit to microsoft and they only say its a problem with a device driver. i have all the updated drivers for all my hardware at this point. i have all the windows updates as well. my xp is legal. i dont think its the power supply but.. could it be? the readings with my digital meter are normal. i have an older but quality digital multi tester. got it when in college. so i know its accurate. it reads 4.9 on 5 and 2.2 on 2. all this info because of the information i have read already. is the audigy a power hungry card? cause i dont get any reboots when i use the onboard sound and my ati video so what ever is going on it has something to do with the sound card.
i cant find a newer driver on the driver site for it except for the beta. so i assume there is no updated driver for the card.
i have a ups backup system. it has come on but it has never caused a computer hang when it has. its a 250 watt unit with plenty of battery backup. same battery backs up my ham radio equip. i am going to reinstall the card and see if in some chance it is munipulating the waveform to the supply. the power to the machine reads 22 volts.
i have had some issues with the power company recently. they had to do some major repairs because i was having problems with flickers. but they fixed... [Show more]

thank you for your reply to my problem.
sorry i missed that detail in my information. that is one of the things i checked. video is on 6 and audio is on 7. i dont see any other devices sharing those irqs in the device manager irq information. or any other devices on same irqs or i/o
before anyone mentions it i also have 3 fans sucking air. my case is actually an old server case with lots of vent holes in front and side. i was thinking of getting some of the slot fans and blowing on video and sound card. could this be the issue? the monitor app says my sytem temp is 82 degrees. 27 on processor.
i appreaciate the input. i ran it all night last night with nero media player running with visulations on. the music was still playing but the video was locked up when i checked it this morning? nothing but mushrooms on my screen from the visulation. i dont know if something happened with nero (most likely this time) but thats the first time that error came up. the odd thing about this really is that it may go for hours and not do this but it seems to do it more when we play demanding games. i ran the machine yesterday for hours on my inverter (ups system) from the batteries with no problem. its output is just a little hotter than my house voltage 27 volts and my line volatage is about 9. but it may reboot before i get this post completed. it ran without problem for 7 hours with all the major games i have until the batteries ran down. (two high capacity 2 volt deep cycles on the outside deck)its really odd. its almost at random. at this point i suspect that i have a power supply problem of some sort. im gonna get a new supply by friday and see if that hel
ps.
i have to wonder who makes the best supply? anyone have any sujestions? perhaps whats really causing this is the capacitors in the supply cant sustain a clean output with the shaky power supplied by aep at my home. aep says that they fixed the problem but i still see flickers. i dont have any problems with the power on anything else in my home. im a little particular. lights that flicker bug me. its not a serious flicker just a slight diming that i have tried to catch with a dvm meter and cant. i have a 350 watts supply but its probably not the best made supply out there. i bought it at a local place that sells off brand computer parts. my fault i guess.. i've had it for maybe 3 years. i had a supply go bad back then and ruin a hard dri've on me. im bad for giving more info than needed but im just a yacker. thanks for the help..

Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

Doesn't sound like it. It sounds like you're being logged-off.
Does your Mac go through the complete Restart cycle -- black screen, gray and/or blue screen momentarily, startup chime, etc?
If you're not sure, do a Restart just to watch the process; the next time the problem occurs, see if it's the same.
You need to know which it is, as these will have very different causes, and different places to look for a solution.

BSOD Driver IRQL Less than or not equal to

I've been trying to install the 64 bit version of windows 7 rc. when booting from the cd, it goes through 2 loading files screens, then the black starting windows screen, after a brief pause it does to a blue screen of death. With a Driver irql less then or not equal to. and lists storport.sys at the bottom for the reason.
Ive been searching, and found in vista this was a problem with nvidia chipsets(i have), and more than 2 gigs of ram(i have 4). I'm going to try removing a stick of ram to see if it gets past it, but could there be any other problems causing it. I also ran the extensive windows memory test, 1 pass through it found no errors.
Asus p5n 32 e sli
4 gigs of ram corsair
nvdia 8600 gts
wd velociraptor partioned 70 gigs for w7 rc
core 2 due e4400 2.0ghz

What I can recommend is you keep the machine's config a bit more "simple" for the installer to be more comfortable with it.
Use an old systembuilder trick:
- remove all physical hardware devices from the m/b you can remove, make it completely naked
- start up the system with the installer with as little as hardware connected as possible
- when it is OK, shut down, add 1 other hardware piece
- when that's OK too, add another and repeat this cycle for as many hardware you want to connect
This makes it possible to diagnose on which hardware config exactly the installer fails or at which point you get the "irql less or equal" error.
Also make a note for yourself what your default BIOS configuration is, so you can play around with the options and later revert back to them.
Remember, this RC is a testing system. This is not the RTM yet. We should deploy it as such and only use it for testing deployments. As such it is great (and for free) - at least here it goes like a sun.

Deprecated system parameters with specified values:

Hi ,
I am getting below in alert log:
Deprecated system parameters with specified values:
remote_os_authent
IS this parameter is suppotable in 11G and also how can i remove it from SP file with out bouncing the instance.
thanks..

1) It is deprecated in 11g as er your alert log message. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28320/initparams199.htm
2) Set it in your spfile to FALSE which will reset this back to the default. This can't be changed dynamically and you will have to reboot your instance.
alter system set remote_os_authent=false scope=spfile;

I think you should review what you wrote. There is no question, hence, my reply. I can't tell by the AM listing what applications are using memory. You need to click on the Real Mem column once or twice to display in descending order.
Aside from what you see in AM, what exactly is your problem or perceived problem. You are very low on Free Mem at the moment the screen shot was taken. Those displays are not depicting your computer's instantaneous memory usage.
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Memory Usage Performance Guidelines- About the Virtual Memory System
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

On start up i just get a grey screen with the apple logo-this has suddenly started happenin. Please help?

on start up i just get a grey screen with the apple logo-this has suddenly started happenin. Please help?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Hi:
There are no dumb questions...answers, yes, but not questions. Sometime I use acronyms and forget that I should explain things a bit more.
Resetting those two things sometimes helps and cannot hurt.

P.S. If everything fails and you are near an Apple store, make an appointment with a "genius" and take the devices in for them to assist.

No you won't. You can try, but your order will be canceled.
But, yes, the phone is unlocked. But again, you won't be ordering one.
