When I boot up there are weird black vertical lines that prevent me from reading some things, but when I get into windows they are horizontal and are just different coloured (not black anymore). Ive had this problem before and after I canged my graphics card so I know thats not the problem, also Ive changed my memory so thats not the problem either. any thoughts?
Spec:
Msi 865pe neo2p motherboard
Intel P4 3.2ghz processor
Ati radeon 9700 graphics card
1024mb DDr400 ram

1) your AGP card not seated properly
2) your VGA card having problem

4) your monitor's connector to the VGA card has missing pins
5) Your PSU isn't providing enough power.

You have a magnetic source to close to monitor......... (speakers etc..........)

Imac shows super weird lines on screen during start up and then freezes at blue screen (WITH PHOTO)
My Imac froze earlier today as I was dragging an image from safari into indesig and when it froze the weirdest pattern overlaid the screen. It looked just like the opacity pattern from photoshop with grey and white squares. I turned the computer off using the power button and unplugged everything.
Now when I try to start it these weird lines appear on my start up screen (see link)...

as you can see the apple and the wheel appears as normal...
... then it moves to a normal looking white screen (perhaps a bit greener than usual) and around 30 seconds later freezes at the blue screen.
I've tried the cmd + alt + p + r several times but it won't help.
If i press alt during start up I can see and choose my hard drive but just end up at the blue screen again.
Can I try starting it up in safe mode or something?
Thanks! Any input is welcome.Is this the same problem? Verical Lines" seems a bit diffuse. I've seached for a similar question and found a lot of other types of lines and stripes.
Could this be a solution?

If so, how do I install the update if I can't get passed the blue screen? Can I start my Imac in safe mode? How?
iMac (Mid 2011): Unresponsive white screen on startup or vertical lines on screen
Symptoms
In certain circumstances, your iMac (Mid 2011) may become unresponsive on startup, with a white or gray background on the display. You may also notice vertical lines on the display while using your iMac.
Resolution
Install the iMac Graphics Firmware Update 2.0 if your computer exhibits these issues. To install the update, chooseSoftware Update from the Apple () menu and follow the onscreen instructions.
Important: Do not interrupt the power to the computer while the update is installing. After the update is finished installing, you will need to restart your iMac. -
I was updating my iPod touch 4g to the ios6 and it told me to hook it up to the iTunes and so I did. After doing that the computer told me to restore I tried and it didn't work. My ipod then was Turing on and off displaying the apple icon then my screen turned white with rainbow colors going down the screen then at some point my ipod had a multi colored blue screen. The screen was no longer blue after I let it die. Plz help I can't find any solutions.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
3120c crashes at the welcome screen plz help
I bought a 3120c 2 months ago.Recently,it sometimes hangs when I turns on the mobile.
And this time,when I turn on the mobile,it only shows the nokia logo (the two hands) then the screen goes blank (with backlight),after around half a second,it turns off automatically.
I have tried to remove the SD card,re-insert the battery/SIM but it still doesnt work T_T
plz help me,thx in advancedHi,
this is a really good point.
In case the OS don't let you to open Event log, then it is highly possible, that the UAC was blocing also the RnR application, which is also seen in the eye of UAC as an application, that needs Administrative privilages, which means UAC.
I would advice to NOT to do any MC update and to use only the Lenovo update option.
Using this way you will be also updated on some MS KB's which will fot your system.
Plesae let me know if you will have any new update on this thread.
PSon't worry about the other post. Just mark my update in that post as a solution and this way I'll see it as fixed and that's it

Screen frozen with big lock on the center of the screen, Plz help!
After reboot, screen goes grey n big lock on the center of the screen, there is also a box below for some sort of password, but it doesnt work with the usual one. Plz help!
If an Open Firmware password has been set, then you can not do anything until either the correct password has been entered, or the requirement for it has been removed. Reason - an Open Firmware password is a hardware-based setting. With that active, you can not boot the machine to anything until the correct password has been entered - even replacing the hard drive will have no effect.
Hence contacting Apple's Tech Support - they can talk you through a means of removing it.
Edit - -
I googled a bit and found this -
How to Disable a Firmware Password in OS X 10.6 | eHow.com
It may offer a solution. -
Vertical lines on screen? Help!
Anyone have these awful vertical lines on screen? They just showed up. If you take a screen shot you can't see them. How do I fix this? This happened when I was activating and syncing phone.
Those are temporary fixes and will get you up and running. I think you should call Apple or bring it back to the Apple Store BEFORE you try and resolve the vertical lines problem.
I had the same problem come up after my MacBook did not go to sleep and after force shutting it down, several times I ended up with the vertical lines problem. It may be a prelude to the Random Shutdown problem as my MacBook developed that problem about two weeks after the vertical lines problem.
Just a thought... -
I have a 2010 Macbook pro running snow leopard (Mac OS 10.6.8). First off, this has been the worst computer I've ever owned or have heard of someone having, Mac or PC. There hasn't been a time where something hasn't been wrong. I'm going to list my specs, my current problems and maybe list previous problems after that. Any advice or suggestions would be great. My brother works for apple out in Cali and I've been sending him crash and bug reports and he can't seem to figure out what's going on.
Specs:
2010 Macbook Pro (Mac OSX 10.6.8)
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics Cards: Intel HD Graphics (288 VRAM) and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (512 VRAM)
(if you want more info, just ask)
To start things off, my computer hard crashes at random points playing basically any game. StarCraft 2 (when I could play the game prior to Blizzard patching my OS out of the minimum requirements), League of Legends, MineCraft and others all crash while in use. My computer screen suddenly flashes white and then to black and whatever audio may have been playing in the past second of gameplay is thrown into a constant loop. The screen is solid black with no mouse and there is no keyboard functionality. The only thing I can do is hold down the power button. I first started noticing this problem back when StarCraft 2 Heart of the Swarm came out. I would crash every 4 or 5 games in this way. Since that was happening I resorted to playing other games such as League of Legends. I wasn't having any trouble at all, but gradually it started to have the hard crashing issues. Initially every handful of games, now it crashes in roughly 50% of the games I play. This happens while I have NO other applications open and this has happened even after a complete restart with only 2 things opening at startup. League started crashing in this way after I brought my computer in to have a fan replaced.
Another thing which has started happening since I had my fan replaced at the apple store: My computer has become very sluggish at times and my computer freezes in another way. Many times a day, I will find I click on something in an application and the entire computer locks up. There's no spinning beachball. There's no movement of any sort on the screen and there is no button functionality, but I can move the mouse. Clicking does nothing. This sort of freeze lasts for about 30 seconds up to 5 or 6 minutes or so. After that, it suddenly just decides to work again. I can tell when it unfreezes because the clock in the corner jumps to the correct time. This has happened frequently while using Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari. It also happened while trying to use Skype. It was freezing the most when facebook or youtube has been open, but it happens without that happening as well. One of the first times I noticed it, earlier this year, I was searching for work and tried to go to this website: http://www.nhab.org/ (looking for a job). It froze my computer as I described above (and I didn't know it would unfreeze after several minutes, so I thought my computer was completely frozen). I restarted, went to the same website and it froze again. I did this a third time and it froze again, so I restarted again. On the fourth try, it loaded. The frequency of this problem is ridiculous. I actually decided to delete Google Chrome from my computer (and its support files) since my computer would freeze the most often with Chrome (though I used Chrome mostly for youtube and watching tv shows online). Almost instantly after deleting Chrome, my computer was running significantly faster. things loaded quicker in other browsers and aplications loaded smoother. My text no longer lagged when typing in facebook... It hasn't solved the freezing, though the freezing tends to last less time now.
Another thing that happens, which I am not sure is normal: When my computer is booting, after the grey screen, it changes to light blue. During this light blue time, often times white horizontal centimeter to inch wide bars will flash across the screen near the top. This also happens on shutting down. I also noticed that when it shuts down the screen doesn't just shut off. The screen flickers quick for up to a second and then it is off. It doesn't just turn off.
My computer has also occassionally flashed for a brief fraction of a second, to the blue start up color and back to whatever I am doing.
Those are all issues I am having right now and I am beginning to wonder if this several thousand dollar computer is capable of doing much more than just writing text..
Prior issues I have had:
Right from the start, I have had major graphical issues which I showed to the people at the apple store and they reinstalled flash, but they really didn't know what was going on. These glitches would tiles previous graphical things I had done in an artistic mozaic across my desktop, replacing my background image with broken mozaics. It's hard to explain without showing, so here are 2 screenshots from it:
The people at the store thought it was just flash... but I don't understand how that could be flash. I would have to flip through different desktop backgrounds I used to make it go away. After it doing this for 2 years, it has only happened once since then and not very badly..
Another issue I had: The battery on my laptop just about exploded... I woke up one morning with my laptop sitting on my night stand as usual, but there was a small crack across part of my trackpad. I was scared because I thought I must have done something... I went to the bathroom, took a shower and when I came back the crack was farther across the trackpad. I had breakfast, came upstairs and my trackpad had 1 crack across the whole thing with multiple mini cracks going in every direction from it. After telling my brother what was going on, he quickly said that it was the battery and to take it to a store. I took it to the store and showed them what was happening and they very quickly took it out back and I quote "threw the battery in a firesafe immediately" because when they opened the laptop it started to quickly expand. This ended up cracking my trackpad as well as bending the bottom of the body on the laptop. All had to be replaced...
Then I had the fan sounding like a weedwacker, so I had it replaced a couple months ago and a couple months ago is when the freezing began, the computer started running slowly and all games crash the computer.
I have had a lot of things go wrong, not a lot of things go right and I'm really frustrated. Can anyone tell me how to get my computer to stop freezing or how to make it stop hard crashing during any of the games I play?
Basically, what I have done so far is reset the PRAM I think? I held command + option + P + R on start up and had it chime 3 or 4 times. Other than that, I don't know what to do.... suggestions?I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation. My computer did have the faulty part you linked to. I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager. Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge. They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test. They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above. I've never had this experience before. Even brand new, I got occasional crashes. Hopefully this new trend continues.
I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow. Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed. Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton. -

Bb9860 boots upto 75% and then goes white screen plz help.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

Weird Lines when Exporting PNGs - help!
I'm getting some funky lines in images I export from Illustrator as PNGs. Anyone else have this issue, or have a solution?
Looks like transparency issues when saving PNGs with the Interlaced option... Since you seem to be opening them in Photoshop for further editing, I wouldn't bother. Simply export as PSD or TIF and save as PNG from PS when realyl needed...

Line Graph problem plz help :(
Problem fixed
Message was edited by:
bm_zaThanks for reply.
In my case, I have to plot curves.
and some Series have different X-axis values.
I have no choice, but to plot them.
The same thing was working fine with Reports 6i + Graphics 6i.
What is Scatter Plot?
Thanks again.
This is a limitation in the current line graph in
Reports 10g (9.0.4). I can't recall whether this has
improved in 10.1.2 or it was planned for the next
rev.
Would trying a scatter plot be better?
Line graphs are normally meant for regular intervals
on x-axis, so using the example of dates, Jan, Feb
and Dec would be placed right next to each other,
rather than scaled with the right distance between
Feb and Dec. -
