    i have a k8n neo platinum edition, nvidia nforce3 250gb chipset mobo. recently i was playing on my computer then out of no where it just shuts off. went to try to turn it back on and the computer fans spun for less then a second then went off and nothing else happened. i assumed immediately that it was probally a bad psu so i bought a new one, and i still have the same problem. ive taken everything but the graphics card,processor, and psu out and it still wont work. i get no post or anything and the fans on the out side are the ownly things that react to me hitting the power button. i have no clue what else to try or do. i really need to get on it for work very soon. also i built this computer 2 or 3 years ago and havent had a problem till now.
    specs: radeon 9800pro 128mb
    80gb hd
    amd athlon 64 3000+

    i did list specs tho in the first post at the bottom. the only thing i forgot was the ram which is in one of my other posts.
    Put it in your forum signature so people don't have to hunt for the info. You might also try a minimal out of case setup as well.

  • Delivery problems BIG problems Need help

    I am a very good customer and for the first time I went online to purchase items  I put the following shipping address Exp: SE 28 St  MA 44401 It was a mistake it was suppose to be SE 28 Av Now the address show SE 28 st 44416, yes I put 28St instead of 28av, but I never put 44416 Now while the package still in transit, I called UPS to ask them to reroute the package  the answer: Best Buy needs to do that, I asked Why? Reason an extra $10.00 will be charge to the shipper and we need there permission. After over 5 hours of emails and aggravations no ones want to help at Best Buy online. I offer to pay for the mistake and it's not even an option. To top it off , if I never receive the packages I loose everything!!! This is unbelievable, frustrating and makes a very good client mad..... very mad.  It takes only one call from Best Buy to reroute these items. Instead they choose not to call even if I pay the extra charges.  How's that possible !?!?!?!?!? Please is there someone there to help  If there is anyone at Best Buy reading  this message please do something about it, Yes it is a mistake a small one and 5 minutes of your time would correct everything. We are running out of time delivery dates in 2 days. And if someone else can help me to post this at the proper place Please let me know.

    More than likely, the package will go back to BB. Hopefully, they will contact you for the correct adddress. If you don't get your package, you may need to cancel the charges on your credit card.
    Gee, I feel old. I bought a computer when 20 meg drive was a big deal.

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

    Connect the iPod to your syncing computer and restore it via iTunes.  However, if iTunes asks for the unknown passcode you need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod from backup.  For recovey mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    "If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software."

  • Problems with exporting. Need help fast

    So I recorded some video game footage (Battlefield 4) and when I look at the raw file, it says it's 1920x1080. I edited it and finished it and even if I look in info it says that it's 1920x1080.
    But when I try to export the video it says that the source file is 1280x1080
    So when I export it, it is in REALLY bad quality and I usually upload high quality videos! What do I do? I need help, fast! I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
    I have a i7 3770k CPU so I don't think that is an issue. 8GB of ram aswell.

    Quickest way:
    Get Started with Premiere Pro
    New to Premiere Pro? Get started with your first project — editing a video. In less than an hour, you'll learn to edit together different types of media to tell a video story.  

  • Need Help Fast! Page is dispalying twice in quiz

    I have created a quiz using tips from another post in this
    forum. I insterted a regular slide with a continue button before
    the quiz questions. I insterted another regular slide at the end of
    the questions with a re-take button that points to that first
    slide. This part is working great. When I take the published quiz,
    I click the continue button, and instead of continuing, the slide
    redisplays. I click the button again, and it moves forward like
    it's supposed to. Any advice?
    I'm supposed to have these posted in our LMS today for
    testing, so I need help fast!!! Thanks!!

    What you're seeing is likely the result of a MS patch for IE
    in response
    to the Eolas patent suit.
    MS recently updated IE so any content shown in a page using
    the Embed,
    Object, or Script tags will need to be 'activated' before
    they can be
    clicked (or otherwise 'interacted with').
    Your home computer probably hasn't had the latest security
    rollup
    installed, is why you're not seeing the issue on that
    machine.
    There is a work around, many site mention it. This may be a
    good place
    to start:

    my screen is completely white, i've tried holding lock and home buttons as seen on you tube something called 'white screen of death' its goes black (think it switches off) then back to the white screen need help fast please!

    If you have not done a factory reset on the device, I recommend doing a complete  factory reset.  
    Factory Reset  - Warning this will reset device back to original factory settings.
    This method will not erase any MDN/MIN information
    Turn off the phone 
    Press Power + Volume Up/Down at the same time and hold until display will show a triage android screen 
    Display will show: 
    Reboot system Now 
    Apply sdcard:update.zip 
    Wipe Data/Factory Reset 
    Wipe Cache Partition
    Use VOL Down key to scroll down to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", press home icon to select option and wipe device. 
    Display shows "All user data will be wiped out", press VOLUME Up to continue or VOLUME Down to exit. 
    Press Volume Up 
    Press Home to select "Reset System Now" - device will reboot
    If the problem persist I recommend having a store technician take a look at the device.

  • My printer is a Samsung ML-2010R.  Still looking for a driver solution to run Mac OS X Lion through a new Macbook Pro.  Previously, I was running Mac Os X version 10.5.8 through this printer  on a 4 yr old Macbook. Any further help is most appreciated:-)

    My printer is a Samsung ML-2010R.  Still looking for a driver solution to run Mac OS X Lion through a new Macbook Pro.  Previously, I was running Mac Os X version 10.5.8 through this printer  on a 4 yr old Macbook. Any further help is most appreciated:-)  Humbly, bowiej

    Apple seems to be naming their operating sytems usability based on the respective turd size of the feline in question. Lions are big, very, very, very big.
    I had a system that served me well for 2 years until I mistaking bought a new machine which runs mega-turd (Lion). Foolish me, now nothing works properly, its a daily struggle to get anything working smoothly using my NEW mac mini. All my other machines work fine, even the windows machines and my Android tablet see all the network components and can talk to each other.
    My Internet service is over 3g which I share to the house using internet sharing via my brand new €800 mac mini running POS Lion, everytime the service is interrupted, Kaboom, the mini resets the DHCP server, but doesn't seem to refresh any of the components so connections drop everywhere.
    Its amateur hour at Apple folks.
    There are several posts alone relating to internet sharing, I have submitted a bug report relating to the non user controllable DHCP server (which may be at fault), but the response / solution from Apple was lacklustre and ultimately didn't work.
    See this, there are some work around's in there;

  • Replacing my 2 week old Macbook Pro.

    i've had my MacBook Pro for about 2 weeks now
    within the first week i noticed problems with my display, well lid.
    it has bubbles on the top of the lid, the edge of the screen is popped out, and the lid won't close evenly
    now, if i go to an Apple Store and tell them my problems with a 2 WEEK OLD MACBOOK PRO,
    will they replace my current MacBook Pro? or will they just replace the screen?
    and i do have Apple Protection Plan for 3 years..

    well is it possible for them to fix it there?
    oh and how long could that take for them to send it to apple?
    sorry if im in anyway pushy or something
    its just this is my first macbook pro and i dont want to be going back and forth to the apple store whch is an hour away from me.. thank you
