While playing an online flash game, the system froze, and a barred pattern flashed across the entire screen.

I was forced to shut down the laptop using the power button. After starting up again, I was later playing the same game, and the system froze, The same barred pattern covered the screen, and this time the system emitted a loud beep, in patterns of 3, and continued to do so until i shut down the system with the power button.
Later, while running Windows 7 via boot camp, encountered a similar problem. The entire screen was covered in multicolored noise, and then crashed within a few seconds.
More on the barred pattern while in OS X:
The bars are multicolored vertical bars, spread across the screen in probably aproximately 50x10px rectangles, evenly spaced, probably 10px vertically, and 50px horizontally. This is not an exact description, but the best I can serve from memory. Will provide better description after reproducing error.
Given that a similar error occured in both OS X and Windows, I would assume this is a hardware issue.
Hardware as follows:
Hardware Overview:
  Model Name:          MacBook Pro
  Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,1
  Processor Name:          Intel Core i5
  Processor Speed:          2.3 GHz

I don´t want to kill your hope - but Apple is still ignoring anything about hard-freeze.

    Your using more energy to play WOW and there isn't any to charge the battery.
    You do have a overly unnecessary, power hungry, excessively  high resolution screen with a bloated OS X version and your also playing 3D games on it, that's what you should expect to occur.

  • Error while using selection option variable in the selection screen

    Hi All,
    I am facing an issue while using selection option variable in the selection screen for one of my reports.
    Scenario: For the field "Region From" we need to have wild card logic () in tes selection screen, for example if we put "BE" in the selection screen for the field Region From then the query should be executed only for those "Region From" values which begin from "BE".
    Approach: For the above requirement I have made a selection option variable for "Region From". This allows use wild card
    But when the report is executed we get the following error:
    "System error in program CL_RSR_REQUEST. Invalid filter on ETVRGNFR".
    (ETVRGNFR is technical name of the info object Region From)
    Though the report is executed it displays all the values for the field "Region From" irrespective of the selection given in the selection screen.
    Please give suggestions / alternate solutions to crack this issue.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Priyanka.

  • When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    There is an option in your Lightroom preferences on the General tab, "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate images". If you have that option checked then Lightroom will import and display both your raw and JPEG files. Are you using active D-lighting on your camera? If you are then you need to turn off that feature.

  • How to set a background image to fill the entire screen on any device in a spark mobile application

    Hi,
    I started developing a mobile application with Flex.
    I'm trying to set a background image to fill the whole screen. I've been stucked at this point for days now. I tried everything and no solution seems to work for me.
    I'm using a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication and i need to set some background images on views.
    I need my image to fill the entire screen on any device. i don't need to mantain image aspect ratio,  just need it to be fullscreen. This seemed to work when setting a custom skin on the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, however this blocked all my views for some reason and all components contained in view became invisible.
    Can you please tell me how can i achieve this?
    Kind regards,
    Dan

    Basically you need a larger image which can accommodate any device. The trick is to show only what each device can display, so therefore some clipping will occur based on device. Have something centered and towards margins have a  gradient or just plane colors that way the stuff in the middle will be visible on every device while nobody will care if you are clipping from the color fill.

  • How do I get SD video (4:3 aspect ratio) to fill the entire screen?

    Any 4:3 video I stream has black bars on either side of the picture. I have a Samsung HDTV, and I can stream content using its own pc to tv streaming software and 4:3 videos fill the entire screen. Or if I play a DVD with 4:3 aspect ratio that will also automatically fill the screen. With the Apple TV I cannot make it fill the entire screen. Is this something to do with the signal being transmitted over an HDMI cable?
    Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how have you resolved it?

    I know it is displaying 4:3 video correctly, however I'd prefer if there was some stretching (non-linear) so that it fills the entire screen. Having 2 big black bars on either side gets very annoying. There doesnt seem to be an option to fill the entire screen when streaming from the apple tv. There are options when streaming from Samsung's own software (I don't want to use samsungs pc share manager as the apple tv's user interface is much better).
    Are my options restricted because the signal is transmitted through an hdmi cable? Seems to be what other websites might be suggesting.

  • When I go into iTunes on my Mac is recently takes over the entire screen and I can not get rid of it.  Is there a setting I can change to have it work the old way?

    When I go into iTunes (the latest update) now, it takes over the entire screen is difficult to remove.  Is there a setting I can change in it to have it behave the old way?

    I presume you are runnning iTunes on either an OS X 10.7 or OS X 10.8 system. Move the cursor to the very top of the screen so that the menu bar appears, then click the blue box with the arrows at the very right corner of the menu bar, or press Shift-Command-F. That will switch iTunes back to a normal window, which it should then remember for future launches.
    Regards.

  • Template doesnt fit the entire screen in IE

    Hi
    I tried to use premade templates (both HTML and Flash) by inserting them in Dreamweaver. When I tried to preview in IE how it would look like, the template shows up fine, but it doesnt fill the entire screen. Right part of the screen is white.Does anybody know why it happens and how to fix it?
    Thanks

    Does the template have some sort of a <div> wrapper class? What are the margins set to? To get full screen there shouldn't be a width set in the css file to wrap your pages with.
    Hope this helps!

  • [SOLVED] System froze and won't boot.

    When I pluged in my power adapter on my laptop my entire system froze and forced me to cut the power.
    Now when I try to boot it I get several errors about mounting and udev and more which I can't catch in the speed. Then it enters a long loop of printing
    systemd[1]: Failed to start Journal Service.
    And finally prints:
    systemd[1]: Failed to start Journal Service.
    systemd[1]: Failed to start Emergency Shell.
    systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Emergency Mode.
    Now only thing I can do is reboot, with the same result. I have no clue what to do so now I reach out for help here.
    Thanks in advance.

    Kernel 3.7.0 + laptop-mode-tools are freezing the laptop when switching from battery to A/C.
    As a workaround uninstall laptop-mode-tools until problem is fixed.
    Indeed this was the cause.
    Anyway I've manage to solve it, here is the steps:
    1) Boot a live cd
    2) Set up and enter a chroot according to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=154625
    3) Disable [testing] from /etc/pacman.conf
    4) Run:
    pacman -Syyf util-linux
    pacman -Syyf linux linux-headers
    I got som wierd errors at first which was gone after reinstalled util-linux.
    And to get rid of the cause:
    pacman -R laptop-mode-tools
    5) Although this did not really work out so I did:
    mkinitcpio -p linux
    6) Exit chroot and reboot.
    Maybe not all of those cammands are needed but that's how I solved my problem(s).

  • When I go to a link all is fine except the link takes up the entire screen and there is no way to move out other than control alternate delete and brining up task manager to exit out of firefox, help

    again, I am able to use search of firefox to get to a link but then all the tool bars from my operating system are no longer available as the link takes up the entire screen (there are no firefox toolbards either so I can't shrink the page etc).. Thus I cannot move around and am stuck with no option but control alt delete to get to task manager to close firefox.

    Thank you so much...
    1. I don't have that fat format I checked as I saw this on another answer...BUT...you are right the project was very bloated and I made a new project with the sequence and moved a bunch of projects off to an outside drive and things are flying again...this effect "twirl" was on three clips and this seemed to be creating a problem along with it being a bloated project. Don't know why this effect renders easily then the next second doesn't it's on three clips on the entire project and one or another might not render all of a sudden.
    2. I understand what you said about the timeline export...I decided to export the sequence without the matte it was nested in and that sequence did have the chapter markers on the timeline and they again didn't export??? I'll look tomorrow at this it makes no sense if what you're saying is how to do it...the final cut pro book said they should have showed up if I export from the browser and that didn't work either.
    3. I then matted that output and rendered it to output but I am worried this will degrade and compress the sequence more than I want by outputting the same sequence with current settings twice???...the couple of outputs I could make nested looked very good as this was one render...however, I tried doing a quicktime "current settings" with the dvd studio pro info still trying to export chapter markers and maybe it's my imagination but the output didn't look as sharp as just an output with just chapter markers???
    r. I did look at the final cut pro book and it says that mpeg 2 movies will not read chapter markers anyway if you create one in compressor...if this is true it makes no difference if the quicktime output isn't having chapter markers show up. I assume when I go to author though I can put an mpeg 2 movie into dvd studio pro and create chapter markers at that point!! It seems weird it says it can do it with an mpeg 1 but not an mpeg 2 when everyone is using that for dvds.
