What causes the KT3 Ultra 2 not booting?

Hi,
I have a mobo KT3 Ultra2 (MS-6380E ver:1.0) and Athlon +2100 since 1 year now. It worked flawlessly, without overclocking, until last August when suddently it started to fail at boot. I thought the problem was due to the hot summer we got here. I unmounted the heatsink (Zalman CNPS6000-Cu), cleaned it and mounted again using white thermal paste. The maximum temperature given by the CPU sensor was 50 Celsius. The computer worked for few days and the problem showed up again. Then I thought was the memory (512MB transcend, TS64MLD64V3F5). I phoned (Nokia 6210) the shop (funprice) and brought the stick back for testing and they said it was okay. Curiously, the problem went away and I enjoyed a nice September free of problems.
Two days ago the same problem returned when I tried to install Mandrake 9.2. Firstly, the installation program hanged randomly at different stages, so I tryed different versions and OSes but the problem persisted.
At this moment the computer doesnt boot at all except if I clear the BIOS (A6380VMS v5.5). Cleaning the CMOS only allows me to reboot the computer few times, then it stops booting. usually, it doesnt show any video signal (GeForce Ti-4200 TD8 and Samsung SyncMaster 750S) although the PSU (Enermax EG365AX-VE(G) of 353W) is working. Sometimes it hangs during the hard disk detection (maxtor 6Y060L0 and Plextor PX-W8432T), and some others it shows have of the summary table.
I really dont know what is happening here. I looked in this forum and some threads describe some of the symptoms I see, but the solutions given dont help me. I tried many different settings in BIOS, and even the factory settings alone. I tried some BIOS settings combinations of FSB clock Auto/manual (100/133) and RAM SPD/manual (100/133).
I would really apreciate any sort of help. Thanks

Last night I tried to run the memory test program but the computer didnt boot at all. I took everything out and only the processor was installed (no memory and no video). The thing didnt make any beep. Not even clearing the CMOS helped. The D-brachet showed sometimes the 1,3,4 LEDs in red, but most of the times only the 1,2 LEDs were in red. If the user guide is right, then it is a problem in the IDE controller.
Well, it was too late. I decided to have some sleep
This morning I tried again and worked!!! The thing beeped because there was no memory installed. Shutdonw. Quickly, I installed the the memory and video. Start. Works. I get into the BIOS to change the FSB clock from 100 to 133 (I guess, my Athlon XP +2100 uses 133MHz FSB). Save changes and reboot. Nothing, the LEDs 1,2 were in red :( Shutdown. Clear the BIOS. Start. Works. I ran the memtest program. I observed for some minutes and the 3 first tests passed OK, so I left the thing working for more hours. The final results will be posted here tomorrow.
I know that some computer problems get resolved overnight, but this too weird. Whats going on here?
Please, any sugestion or comment may help to save me the money of a new mobo.

The bookmark tab went from the right side to the left side. I did not change that. what cause the change from the right side to the left side? Also the the Mozilla Firefox tab on the upper left hand corner changed.
Its was a red colored tab and now its blue in color. I did not change any thing!

Hey jimmiet,
There were some recent ui changes around the downloads manager. What version where you on before? Anyway, you can customize things in Firefox really easily. Take a look at [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars|this article on customizing Firefox]] for details. Should be a piece of cake to move the bookmarks button.
As for the color of the button, you might be in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing]] mode. That changes the color of the button from orange to a purplish color.

What cause the ZEN Touch 2 to freeze?

Hello,
I've (finally) received my ZEN Touch 2 with GPS two days ago, and it truly is a fantastic MP3 Player. But guess what? Today, for the first time, it really did froze, using the N64oid emulator. When the ZEN is lagging, I'm simply waiting, and it work like a charm a few seconds later. But now, it was completely frozen. Touch Screen, Power button... Tried connecting to computer, no reaction.
So in a bad mood, I tried reseting the unit, which I'm obviously not suposed to do often, I had a hard time. First, the reset hole is way too tiny!? Even with a paper clip or a pencil mine, this is ridiculously hard!? First, I even used the wrong hole, I though this was the reset hole, so yeah, the paper clip got inside the ZEN... Truly awesome. After all, I managed to remove it.
And then, seemed like I got it, ZEN resetted, when I thought it was completely screwed, only two days after I received it!
It seems to work correctly, now. Needless to saw I deleted the data, application and ROMs of N64oid, the right way (Along with PSXoid, which I haven't tested, but is probably similar.). When I first tried Super Mario 64, it was playable, at an OK speed. But today, I tried others ROMs, like Donkey Kong 64, or Tony Hawks Pro Skater, without a doubt, that was asking too much from the ZEN, since I couldn't pass the main menu.
So now I really hope my ZEN will last,?Creative. I'm in Quebec, got it from California. Needed to ship it to Plattsburgh by Amazon.com, and to be fowarded to my house, since you unfortunately do not ship to Canada.
I still have a one year warrantee, but undestand me, I?absolutely wouldn't want to ship it to Creative?in?the US, then get it shipped back to Plattsburgh, and then to my home. That'll cost me hell (Again)!
Alright,?I'll?now like to know what cause the ZEN Touch 2 to freeze? In my case, that was the emulator that was too advanced for the ZEN (And since it doesn't support multi-touch, it's hardly playable without a USB keyboard or gamepad (Possible?), or Wiimote). ?I don't have applications running?in the backgroung, only one at a time.
How can I avoid my ZEN to freeze again?
Oh yes, one more question. Why when I start some applications, it instantly shut ("The application [...] (process com [...] has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.") ? How can I fix this?
Thanks for the reply.

)?Thanks for the reply.
I unistalled many 3rd Party APPs (Only /3 were booting, anyways), and I can already see a huge difference with the fluidity of the menu. It's also turning on faster.
I already uninstalled N64oid, but kept the others 2D emulators, never had a problem with them, they run without lagging.
What's odd, however, I downloaded Firefox from ZiiO Space, ran it, and the ZEN went pretty much crazy; black screen, I tried to get back to the menu, pressing buttons and all that, and then the ZEN vibrated like hell, perhaps because I pressed the buttons a lot of time. I finally made it, without resetting, but that was freaking scary. Oo
Uninstalled Firefox. I find it strange that I downloaded it from ZiiO Space, and that it doesn't work like normal.
I'll try to be more careful while downloading APPs, if I can.
I appreciate the reply.

KT3 Ultra-ARU not work with ATI 9600pro?

Hi,
I have recently(yesterday) bought an ATI 9600pro, to upgrade my old GF2pro. As the title says, I have the KT3 Ultra-ARU(MS-6380E)
There seems to be lockup problems that involve only certian games and the ATI DVD player. In all instances the lock ups happen when the mouse is moved. With respect to the ATI DVD player, it will lock if the mouse is moved over the video window.
I have tried a few things but nothing works, so I am posting here to try and see if someone knows something and I will contact ATI in a few hours, or maybe tomorrow.

For via chipset (kt333 based msi kt3 ultra-aru) i can now obtain full hardware acceleration and 100% stable for c&c generals game by:
1) download and install latest catalyst 3.7 driver/control panel/samartgart from ati.
2) disable fast-write in bios..
3) go to c:programsati technologyati control panel and execute smartgart
4) enable - pci read/write and agp read.
5) disable - agp write (default in my case was on causing the problem).
6) "apply", reboot, then "ok".

MSI KT3 Ultra Reviews (NOT ARU)

I can't find any MSI KT3 Ultra Reviews on the web
Does anyone know where I can find MSI KT3 Ultra Reviews?
(I don't want the MSI KT3 Ultra ARU reviews)

bas is correct. an ARU and non ARu are going to function the same and perfrom pretty much the same
Im just posting in addition to what Bas said since I have both the KT3 Ultra and KT3 Ultra ARU and I can tell you from personal experience they perform identically
=======================================
The only rant I have about the ARU is the ARU has that ugly uneeded and crappy fan on the northbrdige....LOL I really like the non ARU without the fan better. The orange heatsink on the nonARU is more than enough to cool the NB even when overclocking. The KT333CE chip is well designed and doesnt get that hot by its very nature. So that darn cheapy fan is just for looks and serves no functional purpose on this chipset.
And best of all with the non ARU - the orange heatsink makes no noise and has no moving parts to break down
( :D ok done with my rant. Seems everyday I have to tell how I hate that silly silver fan lol :D )

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation without itunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen.?

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation
without iTunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen?
6 months after purchase I updated my iPod touch as recommend by iTunes.
It has not worked since that day. It frozen (disabled) with a "connect to
iTunes" icon displayed...that is the only thing it does. itunes does not
recognize the iPod. My Windows7 computer recognizes an Apple device.
Other computers recognize the devise but if iTunes resided on that
computer it did not recognize the iPod
I suffered a setback with deep depression and am just now getting out of it enough to do something. The depression prohibited me from taking action.
I have done every procedure recommended from Apple help and external
sources. I did this thoroughly with help for other owners and IT experts,
Apple employees etc etc. I and associates have perform reboots utilizing a
number procedure using only button on the iPod. These were unsuccessful
also have performed.
Please do not ask me to do the usual.
Online I saw a process using the buttons on the iPod to completely
reformat
the iPod. It was NOT the hold buttons for 10 sec let go of one wait 8 sec
etc. I can not find the process now...a friend showed it to me in passing
I have lost contact with him. This is the procedure, I believe, that with
enable me to update and use the iPod.

You need an internet connection and likely a computer with iTunes but an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the FindMy iPhone App may work by:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Otherwise
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Yo may have to go to an Apple store or a friend's house with an internet connection and iTunes.

Why does AI Read(Asynchronous).vi cause the waveform chart to not display any history ?

I trying to create a strip chart for 16 channels that will require displaying 10-20 minutes of data.It also starts a separate vi to set gains and offsets while displaying the data. Using AI Read.vi uses 100% of the CPU so the second vi does not run. But using AI Read (async).vi allows the second vi to run, but causes the waveform chart to not display the history? I'm using LabView version 6.0.2.

Hi Waynes World,
I have a couple of questions that may help us solve this issue...
1) If you are modifying one of our example programs, which one did you start with?
2) What kind of analog input are you doing? Buffered? Finite or continuous?
3) Have you tried increasing the buffer size of the strip chart? This will allow the chart to store more data in it.
4) When you use the Async VI, and when you are using the other, can you describe how the strip chart is showing the data... does the data in the chart keep growing and growing... or does it clear itself and start over when the pine reaches the end?
I think this issue is rooted in how the buffer is being used with the two different AI Reads and how it returns data to the chart.
On a side note, have you considered upgrading to a newer version of LabVIEW? Our latest versions of LabVIEW come with many new features and it is signifigantly easier to use.

What causes the Missing or invalid version of SQL library PSORA (200,0) in PeopleTools 8.51 Application Designer?

Could be several things. Bad path, bad version, etc. give us details on your client install. What Oracle client do you have installed. App Designer is 32 bit. If you installed the 64 bit client you might get this error. What OS are you using. PeopleTools version? guessing 8.51 from your other post.

What Are the Security Implications of not Completely Signing Database?

Hello everyone,
What are the security implications of not completely signing the database?
From http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/ ,
The following quote implies that the database exists merely just in case hand tweaking is necessary:
maintains a text-based package database (more of a hierarchy), just in case some hand tweaking is necessary.
However, considering that there are cases that pacman's local database needs to be restored, there are implications that the database is essential for pacman to function properly.
From https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ho … l_Database :
Restore pacman's local database
Signs that pacman needs a local database restoration:
- pacman -Q gives absolutely no output, and pacman -Syu erroneously reports that the system is up to date.
- When trying to install a package using pacman -S package, and it outputs a list of already satisfied dependencies.
- When testdb (part of pacman) reports database inconsistency.
Most likely, pacman's database of installed software, /var/lib/pacman/local, has been corrupted or deleted. While this is a serious problem, it can be restored by following the instructions below.
I know that all official packages (from core, extra, community, etc.) are signed so that all files should be safe, but I'm just paranoid.
What if the database was hacked? Will this lead to installation of harmful software?
Sincerely,
Cylinder57

From this quote:
Allan wrote:But, the OP (also?) talks about the local package database on his computer. That is not signed at all as there is no point. If someone can modify that, then they can regenerate the signature, or just modify any other piece of software on your computer.
Is it going to be easy for anyone other than the authorized user to modify the local package database?
Allan basically answered that with the quote above already as I understand it. Someone who has access to the installation, e.g. is able chrooting your PC via USB, is not held back by any ACLs. However, modifying the local database only makes limited sense because the packages are already installed. Pacman would only recheck, if you re-install a package. The only really relevant attack vector for the package database is
(1) installing an older package with a vulnerability,
(2) re-placing the up-to-date package sig in the local database with the older one and
(3) modifying the system, e.g. via pacman.conf excludes, to not update that.
then also re-installing would not create a sig-error and you get stuck with the bogus old package.
With a signed database this would not be possible. However, as Allan wrote earlier also with a signed database that criminal can manually install (totally leaving pacman & package cache) whatever it needs in this scenario. So, if you are -really- paranoid about that, you probably want to spend (a lot of configuring) time with something like the "aide" package.
Cylinder57 wrote:
And, are the following statements correct:
If the repository databases are modified, the hacker might be able to modify the packages on the server (Considering that if someone can modify the local package database, that person can modify any other piece of software on that particular computer.)
However, pacman won't let users from installing the modified packages (due to package signing,) unless at one person with access is bribed (at least, for an individual package.)
I don't know the intricacies of the server infrastructure - only saw they have great names :-), but I am pretty certain your statements assume that correctly. It is pretty unlikely that someone able to modify the central repository database fails at placing a bogus package for shipping with those access rights at this time. Yet it does no harm not to post any details of such a scenario here imo. In any case: A compromised mirror would be enough for that - and easier to achieve (hacked anywhere or e.g. in a non-democratic state). Plus you also answered it yourself. The keys are key for our safety there. Which keeps me hoping that no criminal lawnmover salesmen frequent the Brisbane area.
As you put up a thread about this, one question you can ask yourself is:
Have you always checked on updates new signatures keys which pacman asks about? If you ever pressed "accept/enter" without checking them out-of-band (e.g. the webserver), that compromised mirror database might have just created a "legitimate" key .. user error, but another attack vector the database signing would catch.
edit: Re-thinking the last paragraph just after posting, I now believe it would not be that easy as implied - simply because the bogus key is not trusted by one of the master keys. The pacman pgp trust model should catch that without database signing. At least it would if only the official repositories are activated, but that's a pre-requisite to the whole thread.
