Vista x64 Sleep Problem (no sleep, blank screen)

Just after installing the PCI-E X-Fi Fatalty card, my computer is now unable to go to sleep. It just hangs there at a blank screen with everything still working. Once I reinstalled the X-Fi driver in the device manager and that fixed it for a minute but the sleep problem still came back when I switched from Game Mode (default setting) to Audio Creation Mode. Now even if I reinstall the driver completely and not touch anything, the problem is still there. Maybe its the way Vista detects and assigns the memory space to the card I would like to get this resolved, my system specs are below.

I have replaced the power supply now and there is no change. I see a flash of the backlight when I initially power the system on, then the post beeps and nothing displayed.
To recap, initially the system would not post. I attributed this, correctly, to a failed video card. Replaced it and I'm reasonably certain I could boot into Windows though I couldn't see anything. There was appropriate POST beeps and hard drive activity light consistent with Windows booting. When I waited for the hard drive activity light to stop, I could then press the power button and there would be hard drive activity consistent with Windows shutting down and the system would power off.
I replaced the inverter, but I lost track of which power leads were connected where on the inverter board. (IF anyone knows where the pink and blue leads connect for certain PLEASE let me know). Anyway, no change.
I replaced the LCD. No change.
I replaced the motherboard. No change.
I replaced the CMOS battery with a new one. No change.
I cleared the BIOS config, now I can't boot into Windows but otherwise, no change.
Finally, I bought a power supply, as recommended, and replaced it and you guessed it, no change.
So I guess, besides maybe getting the inverter connected incorrectly, I have tried replacing every part that I could even remotely imagine could cause my issue. I have devoted a lot of time to figuring this out and I almost always solve a system problem. Help!?!

Alu iMac stuck in SLEEP / Blank screen problem! Please Help!

I have a 24" 2.4GHz Alu iMac. I usually sleep my computer quite often at night instead of a full shutdown (although I make sure I shutdown completely a couple of times a week).
Recently I have gone to wake my iMac up in the morning only to get no response from keyboard / mouse. Upon a closer look I have realized that the imac is actually awake as I can hear the fans running, so it has woken by itself at some point during the night even though there is nothing on screen and no response to keyboard/mouse. I have then had to force it to shut down, something I hate having to do.
I've verified and repaired disk permissions, verified and repaired disk, reset the SMC, all without any change. There are external drives plugged in to firewire ports but none of these are on when problem happens. I have tried unplugging the drives when the imac is not responsive but it still fails to "wake". Although I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, they have full battery power and during short periods of sleep wake the imac up with no problems, it seems it's the long overnight periods that causes the problem. Is the time of night a factor perhaps? I herd something about imacs doing automatic maintenance at 4 in the morning or something? As I said before I have always slept my imac for long periods without problems, this is a recent thing the happened suddenly, perhaps coinciding with an update, I'm not sure.
I have created a new post as I am sure the iMac is not technically "sleeping" at the point of no response, so I don't want to it to get confused with potentially another issue of imacs not waking from sleep (although some of the people experiencing sleep problems may have imacs doing what mine is without realizing!).
Has anyone else experienced the above?
Thanks guys.

HI Joey,
Try resetting the PRAM/VRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
*"Is the time of night a factor perhaps? I herd something about imacs doing automatic maintenance at 4 in the morning or something? "*
Yes, your iMac if turned on will run "cron" tasks (maintenance), but it can run while the computer is sleeping. Here's the schedule for it. *"These tasks are scheduled for 03:15 to 05:30 in your computer's local time zone. "* More info here. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2319?viewlocale=en_US
Check System Preferences/EnergySaver and click the Sleep tab. Click the Schedule tab and make sure you don't have a startup / wake scheduled.
*"Although I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, they have full battery power and during short periods of sleep wake the imac up with no problems,"*
Check System Preferences/Bluetooth. Click the Advanced tab. Do you have the; Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer selected?
Check System Preferences/Security and click the General tab. Do you have the; Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver selected?

P6N diamond - Vista x64 install problem

Hey.
I’m the happy owner of a MSI P6N Diamond, but I have some problems when I try to install Vista.
My system as it is now:
CPU: E6600
GFX: 7900GT
RAM: 2x1gb Cell Shock PC6400
Running XP SP2 without problems on 2x36gb raptors in RAID0
Yesterday I decided to try Vista x64, because I have 2gb extra ram that I want to use. So I took one of my old IBM PATA 120gb HDDs, and tried to install vista x64, but then I ran into a problem. When I get to the point where it says "Completing Installation" and "Your Computer will restart several times during installation" It restarts but then nothing happens. The screen just went black (and the monitor is switching off), and I can hear the computer is still running (and there is still light in mouse and keyboard). If I try to restart, the the vista loading bar appears and then the same thing happens. Black screen and then nothing.
What to do?
I have tried disconnecting all my other drives and I have tried with only one memory block (1gb)
Hope somebody can help me
/Christian

Inside,
I had similar issues when I first installed Vista and I don't think it installed correctly as it is...
One thing I noticed was that the Memory in particular is undervolted with this board if the bios is set to auto. Make sure you manually set the voltage to your RAM manufacturers voltage. Do the same thing with the timings and speed...
I had everything set to auto at first and I couldn't even get Vista to unpack 100% until I manually set things...
I need to reinstall windows I think because my installation is still messed up as I didn't change the timings until I started getting BSOD on first boot... Try it let us know if it works.

[Vista x64] Microphone problems with X-Fi and 2.15 drive

Hi guys,?I'm having a problem with the 2.5 drivers on my X-Fi Platinum card, under Vista x64. It seems the microphone inputs (both on the card and on the breakout box) have problems, any recordings stutter and pop rapidly, making any recordings (or voice chat)?quite useless. This issue doesn't occur with the 2.3 drivers. Is there any known solution to this problem yet?My system: e6600 CPU, Asus P5W-DH motherboard (975X chipset), 4GB RAM, 8800GTX, X-Fi Platinum. Thanks.

hey Darkman,
since I never had this problem with installing this software, I cant really tell whats wrong, but you dont need it anyway to use the x-fi.
but you may want to try one thing, since it crashes at 27% something may still be in use, so check your task manager and close everything that has CT in its name. then try reinstalling again. If that still doesnt work, try to empty your temp folder, its located in documents and settings/user you are/local settings/temp
if that still doesnt work, try maybe something stupid, wait a bit longer than usual and keep the install window in the front to watch the process, maybe your pc is just a bit slowed down by other software so it may take longer than normal

Problems with Firefox blank screen

Hi, while doing a comparison between versions of IE and versions of Firefox I get no Firefox preview, only IE. The Firefox preview just shows a blank screen, even though it says it loaded fine. I know my site works fine in Firefox. Any ideas? I am behind a particularly fussy firewall.
I love the potential of BrowserLab though, hats off!

OK I just answered my own question and feel a bit of a fool, but hey. Changed the screen shot delay from 0 to 5 and it resolved the issue.

Xboard 61 and Vista x64 driver problems

I cannot install the driver for my Xboard 61 without this happening. I've done the following:
-run as administrator
-changed the integrity setting to "ON" using BCDEDIT
-run driver setup in an unpacked driver application folder
-checked to see that emuumidi.sys is installed in system32 folder
-re-checked to see that the same Xboard works on my extant XP x32 system (and it does)
I'm at a loss for what to do. Emu has email support now and its hasn't provided any answers.
Here is a copy of what happens to my system. Any suggestions are welcome.

Well it's simple. Use the BIOS that works best for you. Anyone here will tell you that.
Yeah, I didn't think on that...

This is a User-to-user Forum. You will find no MSI employees here.
It's really a shame, because the domain is from MSI, the forum use official MSI brand, the host is payed by MSI, so any moderator here is representing indirectly the company and MSI is responsible of all the forum content and his representatives.
Quote from: AaronYuri on 22-November-07, 03:28:52
EDIT: Just so you know, MSI don't go for bleeding edge. MSI go for the server and OEM market, where there is more money to be had. Asus, Gigabyte and DFI target the ethusiast market. But as ethusiasts only make up <5% of the market, your opinion won't sway that many.
Yes, you're right! Like any customer here I'm no one and nobody gives a about my opnion and my money wasted on a MSI product because the company only gives a on OEM market!
Wonderful tought! God bless you soul and from MSI.
I'll need it because only money it's the important, the company image not. Isn't that right?
Quote from: AaronYuri on 22-November-07, 03:28:52
But as for the rest, it's down to your opinion. I recommend all my customers MSI hardware, because you get quality support (this forum) and a fast & friendly RMA service.
A company is as good as it's support.
Wonderful support.
I imagine if I am a president of a big brazilian PC manufacturer, because the sells of computers in Brazil in that year beats any market in world, and then I see all this bullshit happening from MSI side, then I turn my attention on Gigabyte or Asus (they too act on OEM market and give more attention to your customers).

Intermittant Blank Screen

I'm having a different blank screen problem from those whose MBPs have a blank screen at startup.
My MacBook Pro, purchased new July 2007 (NVidia 8600M GT), is experiencing intermittent blank screen problems. Basically I'll be working at the computer, typing away, when all of the sudden the screen goes blank. I've had this happen both with and without external power plugged in (it's not a low battery issue). I've had this problem both when runnng OS X and when I've been running Windows Vista via Boot Camp, which has me thinking that this is a hardware problem.
Sometimes the screen goes blank for just a second or two and then comes back on its own. Other times it goes blank and stays blank. On occasion, I've been able to get the screen back by unplugging the magsafe connector, waiting a few seconds, and then plugging it in again. On other occasions, this hasn't worked at all, and I've had to manually power down the computer and restart.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? Is my LCD backlight dying? Something else? Haven't taken it to a Mac store yet, but given all that I've been reading about defective 8600M logic boards, I'm dreading the thought of sending my computer away for a week, only to have it come back and break again.

I just had the same problem with intermittent blank screen. I was pleasantly surprised that resetting SMC and PRAM fixed it. It's worth a try.

Clicking "Get started" when trying to Sign in to Sync on Portable FF, I get a blank screen. It works on installed FF. What can I do to get it to work portably?

Portable Firefox:
1. I click on the "hamburger icon" in the top right
2. I click "Sign in to Sync"
3. I click "Get started"
4. I get a blank screen with no option to create new or log in to existing account.
Installer Firefox or Firefox Mobile:
1-3: Same as above
4. I get the form to sign up and enter my credentials
5. I don't get an activation e-mail

I've fixed the first problem, seeing a blank screen. This was due to Third party cookies. Apparently those has to be accepted.
But I still don't get any e-mail links to verify my account. I've tried to resend a couple of times from the Android app and from the portably installed version on Windows. I've also created a second account without any luck to be able to verify.

Switchable Graphics on Vista x64 - Aero is messed up after full screen video or sleep

http://i41.tinypic.com/v7rrpu.jpg
It happens all the time -- after exiting a windows media player, after resuming from sleep or hibernation...
This is a CLEAN new FRESH vista Business x64 install - just 10 hours old.
It has all the newest drivers and software, installed directly from System Update.
I had to reinstall the system because of this problem; turns out it is haunting me, on and on.
When using the ATI graphics the problem disappears, however the ATI graphics are loud and consume too much power.
Additional software installed: Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Office 2007 with Service Pack 1, NOD32 3.0 and Skype. No additional applications! And i hardly doubt these are the ones causing the problems!
If anyone has a clue about this problem, please share!!! And yes, this is a fresh, clean install (as a matter of fact - not for the first time), the video drivers are the most recent, DirectX is updated. Reinstalling the drivers doesn't fix the problem (tried it on my last fresh install).
On Vista 32-bit this didn't happen, however i have 3GB RAM and Vista x32 allocated only 2,5 GB and I had to upgrade to make use of my full memory.
Windows (vista x64 Business SP1) has all the important updates installed;
PC Doctor won't find any problems with the video card - i ran all the possible tests and they all got a 'pass'.

K9NGM Vista x64 PS2 keyboard & mouse Sleep Problem.

Hi, I've installed Vista Home Basic on a K9NGM motherboard, when it resumed from sleep mode the sleep went crazy, so I enabled S3 in the bios, now when it resumes from sleep the screen is fine, but after a few seconds the mouse & keyboard stop responding.
I can press the no/off button on the tower & it closes normally. I'm only using the standard Windows drivers for both the keyboard & mouse.
Anyone know the answer?
Thanks

Quote from: revocomputers on 13-February-07, 03:52:29
Thanks for the reply,
Hibernate works fine, I'm only using the default Vista drivers for keyboard & mouse, In S1 when it came out of sleep the screen was totally messed up.
I use lots of theses motherboards in the systems I build & sell, it's not good that they're not totally Vista compatible
I've altered most of the power settings now so it's more difficult to put it into sleep mode, but I don't think I can turn it off altogether. It's a shame because the sleep mode is very cool.
i guess it may be fixed soon, like for another boards via BIOS update, see example:
- Fixed keyboard/mouse cannot work after resume from S3 under Vista.

BSOD Vista x64 After Waking from Sleep

Hi. I recently re-installed my OS after purchasing a new MB (ASUS P8277-M LGA 1155). I in stalled a fresh (/mbr format) copy of WIN Vista x64. After my computer awakens from sleep mode a BSOD occurs. I've tried troubleshooting the issue with winDBg; however,
I cannot resolve the issue. The output from my dump file is below. Please let me know the next steps I should take to resolve this issue.
Thanks,

cperry11
9 of 11 were related to memory corruption. Please run these 2 tests
These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver).
Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you dont
know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
1-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)
Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Get it here
Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.
Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.
Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.
If a known good stick fails in one motherboard slot but not another it is probably the slot.
2-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)
Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition.
Most times it will crash and it will tell you what the driver is, but sometimes it will crash and won't tell you the driver.
Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.
I'd suggest that you first backup your data and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise.
Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).
Here is the procedure:
Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation"
For Win 8 dont check Concurrency stress test, and DDI compliance checking click "Next"
Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
Select "Finish" on the next page.
Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen.
Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly.
The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out.
If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation.
If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

GX630 and Vista x64 Ultimate Sleep Mode

I have MSI GX630 and having trouble to wake my notebook after sleep mode at Vista x64 Ultimate Sp1 edition
When my notebook goes to sleep mode everything ok.power led is blinking.When I press Power Button fan starts wireless led is ok but screen is black.And I m not able to start system till I unplug/plug AC and Battery
Msi Service in Turkey checked my notebook.they unpluged/pluged motherboards battery to reset bios ( I think :D )and flashed bios back to 1.02 ( i was using 1.05 ).But same result.They said they don't have any idea:)
There is no problem in 32 bit vista home edition
I tried many Vga drivers.Now using moded 181.20
I tried all bios versions released on msi website.
All other drivers are up to date.
There are lots of users having same problem
I will be glad if anyone can help me.
Thanks

They wouldn't, not officially. NVIDIA started to support gamers with laptops and will do it in future, regularly. But the real problem is, that most of other vendors have their GPUs supported in those drivers and MSI doesn't, it's completely missing NVMI.INF file. Note, that there is no universal INF file, but many of them named after vendors according to the NVIDIA's filename scheme.
But beta status has not to do with the fact those drivers are working and MSI products simply aren't there.
Other side of the issue is, that MSI is selling so called gaming laptops and didn't updated the drivers since, well, July 2008 (GX630, ForceWare 176.10) or September 2008 (GX620, Forceware 176.60). It just cannot keep up with game releases and bug fixes for new games included in every ForceWare release. This kind of support is simply not enough for the respective audience.
Don't understand me wrong - the products are excellent and even my brother just ordered GX630.
Back to the issue - guys, try to use newer drivers for GX620 if you have MSI laptop with NVIDIA - and yes, even when it's not GX620. All NVIDI GPU's should be supported, check the list:

Those are probably the newest official NVIDIA drivers from MSI.
Other thing you can try to deal with the sleep mode issue is to disable PowerMizer in driver's control panel. I cannot try it by myself (have only ATI and Intel VGA here), but found it on LaptopVideo2Go site.
