W500 not starting - HELP - unable to locate BIOS ROM; Fatal error during GPU init

hi gurus,
Following problem:
when i start W500 (ubuntu) it stays with the black screen, not even displaying initial ThinkPad message, where you might press the ThinkVantage blue button, to go to BIOS. It just stays black and does nothing.
Than I press Power button for a few seconds to shut it down and try again. Still black screen.
The same procedure again and again and sometimes W500 boots up, sometimes wants to go to recovery mode, sometimes not.
Sometimes, after the black screen it displays the message:
Invalid ROM contents
ERROR Unable to locate BIOS ROM
Fatal error during GPU init
Anyone had the same problems?
What are the possible checks i might execute, to check up W500?
cheers
lenowiow

Update: I have now tried compiling vbios.bin and int10.bin directly into the kernel. No success.

Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0 / BIOS ROM Checksum Error

I tried to flash the BIOS through windows and got a checksum error, then made the mistake of rebooting the computer. Now I get the Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0 / BIOS ROM Checksum Error. It asks me to insert a floppy with the BIOS, which I have done based on the directions I've found in this forum. The following is on the disk:
autoexec.bat, which contains the command AWFL859G.EXE W7030NMS.180 /py /sy /cc /cp /cd /sb /r
AWFL859G.EXE, the bios install program
W7030NMS.180, the latest bios version for this motherboard (K8N Neo Platinum)
When I boot up it detects the floppy drive, starts to run it, and then the entire machine shuts down. I've disconnected all the drives except for the floppy, but no dice. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and thanks!

See .. :
What options do I have
Do you know someone with a NF3 250GB mobo you can bring the PLCC bios chip over and hotflash it in that persons mobo .
I hotflashed my Neo1 chip in a Abit Nforce2 NF7-S motherboard , criteria is that you must have a motherboard running award 6 bios and 4Mbit chip
and use that motherboards flasher .
So my hotflash in NF2 mobo had to be done with NF2 chipset flasher (awfl820) and /f switch .
I ended up giving up and buying a new board, the MS-7032 K8T-Neo V. I swapped it out and no issues, and it was cheaper than sending back the one I had to get it reflashed. Still, there ought to be a better way to get something like this fixed. I read that some board manufacturers are now putting a backup bios chip that can't get overwritten on their boards, so if the working one gets lost it automatically gets re-flashed by the original one. Hope MSI does that soon.

ITunes will not start up... Keeps giving Windows Error Message.... help!!

My Itunes will not start at all... When I try to start it I get a Windows Error Message saying below:
*iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.*
*In the Error Window The following is there...*
_AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 8.0.1.11 ModName: quicktime.qts_
_ModVer: 7.55.90.70 Offset: 00990007_
Can Anyone help me as I can’t use my ITUNEs and am Handicapped when it comes transferring ITEM on and OFF my IPHONE...
Thanks

That error suggests you may have a QUicktime problem rather than an iTunes problem.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them. They are bad news for Quicktime.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

Creative Cloud Does Not Start - Help!

If anyone from Adobe is watching this. I was considering switching from Aperture to Lightroom CC. I was able to install the trial and it works fine. However, all of a sudden, Adobe Creative Cloud App will not run. The icon appears for a moment then disappears.
I have tried almost everything listed here - installing and uninstalling, Creative Cloud Cleaner, running as root, running in a new admin account and so on. All are no goes.
I really would like to be your customer, but since I can't get live support, and I am not going to sign up only to find the paid CC does not work either, I hope you are able to help me.

Refer this link :
Creative Cloud won't launch on Mac OS 10.10.3
Still same ??
Try with solution provided in the first link I provided:
Message from Danny :
Success!
Hope this helps someone in the same situation. (This is for a Mac, OS 10.9.5)
This is what I did.
Started the computer in SAFE MODE, Creative Cloud Desktop (CCD) started.
Restarted under regular user mode. CCD did not start.
Removed all login items from System Preferences > Users & Groups (I think this step could be skipped and only tried if the following doesn't work.)
Go to Library folder. Rename LaunchAgents folder to LaunchAgents_old and Launch Daemons folder to Launch Daemons_old
Create new folders called LaunchAgents and Launch Daemons.
Move all items NOT containing the name Adobe from the "old" folders and put them in their respective new folders.
Go to ~/Library and do the same thing with LaunchAgents folder.
Restart the computer and see if CCD opens. Mine DID!!!
Using the uninstall Creative Cloud, uninstall. Then reinstall CCD. (This should put new items in the LaunchAgent folders.)
Restart the computer and see if CCD works. Mine Did and I seem to be good to go.

My itunes will not start in Win XP. I get an error that says MSVCR80.dll can't be found. I am scared if I just reinstall iTunes that I will lose all my music and apps that are in the old itunes. What can I do.

My iTunes will not start in Win XP. I am getting an error that says MSVCR80.dll can't be found. I am concerned that if I just do a reinstall
of iTunes it will overwrite or delete all the music and apps I have on the current app that won't start. When I boot the PC I get the following:
APSDaemon.exe - unable to locate. MSVCR80.dll not found. Reinstalling application may fix this problem. How can I get iTunes started without losing
all my music and apps? Thanks

It won't unless a problem occurs. Back them up, uninstall iTunes and all related components, and reinstall them.

Multi-room DVR Issues: Unable to locate hub, interrupted recording, skipping during playback

Hi Guys,
I was wonderng if you could help me. I have been a FIOS customer for many years and have a multi-room HD DVR and 2 HD set-top boxes. I have always had some problems during playback on some recordings where the picture and sound will skip, but over the last several months some new problems have appeared. Frequently during playback of recorded shows the recording will stop playing and I will get a message on the screen "unable to locate hub". I then have to power off the STB, reboot and when I go to the dvr option I have to refresh the devices before connecting to the dvr again. If this happens while a show is recording then the recording stops and then restarts causing the show to be split into 2 recordings. Sometimes I get a message "You have reached maximum playback on DVR". This really frustrating and I would like these issues resolved. I have the older HD dvr, 1 new hd set-top box, and 1 old hd stb. The playback issues happen on both hd stbs. We don't usually watch shows on the dvr itself so I am not sure how it performs during playback. 1 other note that might help troubleshooting is that I can't seem to display the IMG in full screen on the dvr.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Sincerely,
Randy R.

You can only do 1 playback at a time UNLESS you are playing back from the DVR/HUB. If you want to do 2 simultaneous play backs, one of them must be from the DVR. I ran into this same message when my wife would watch a recorded program in one room and I would try to watch a recorded program in another room. Fixed it by moving the DVR to one of the rooms where the conflict occured most often. As for the "unable to locate hub" message. This was a very common problem about a year ago, which was fixed with a software update. You need to check what version software is on all your boxes.

Windows could not start the DHCP Client service on Local Computer, Error 2

Hi everyone,
I assign IP addresses via my router but today installed OpenVPN and it depends on the DHCP Client service. I checked in services and found it wasn't running. If I try starting it I get this message "Windows could not start the DHCP Client
service on Local Computer." "Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.".
There's plenty of info out there about this issue but nothing seems to fix it for me. I've tried the following as an administrator,
"sfc /scannow" - It reported and error which it fixed but after a restart the problem persists.
"NET LOCALGROUP administrators "NT Authority\Local Service" /add"
"netsh winsock reset catalog"
I also checked that all dependencies of the DHCP Client service are working. I used "CMD /K
SC QC DHCP" to check the dependencies and compared them to an identical computer and they are. Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Did you mean after the restart the sfc /scannow command still could find the corrupted files?
Have you check this these related registry entries permission for your account?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp
permission needed: Query value, Create value, Enumerate Subkeys, Notify, Read Control
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp\Configurations
permission needed: Full Control, Read
for more information, read this article:
Some services do not start in Windows Vista and Windows 7

If the issue still cannot be resolved, I would like to suggest you use the recovery media to repair your computer.
