Windows 8 blank screen issue with N660Ti PE 2GD5/OC

Dear MSI support.
My current setup:
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-I DELUXE
CPU: i5 3570K
RAM: 8GB G.Skill Sniper 1866 MHz - CL9
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti Power Edition (OC) (stock BIOS)
After running Windows 8 Professional (64-bit) on my computer with my iGPU (Intel HD 4000) I installed my new GPU (MSI Geforce 660 Ti PE). After my first boot with my new GPU, the BIOS info is displayed on the screen, then the Windows 8 logo and finally the screen goes blank. If I set my bios settings to use iGPU Windows boots normally again.
I've even tried a fresh install of Windows 8 with the same results. When the installation process completes the "Getting devices ready" text is displayed for a couple of minutes before the screen goes black again. I can log on to Windows 8 in Safe-Mode with the 660 but not in normal mode.
I've also tried to install Windows 7 (32-bit) which works fine with the 660. So it's sound's like a Windows 8 compatibility issue to me.
Any suggestions or tips are highly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Bogganero.

I looked up the blank screen issue with itunes on my windows PC, and followed the directions with the autorun.exe and all that but my comp has Bonjour (which is by apple) so now how do I fix Itunes? Thanks

Hi,
I'm getting the blank screen in my itunes store. I followed the help script here Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support and downloaded the autoruns,exe but it just shows my comp has Bonjour (which is apple). But now what? How do I fix the blank screen?
Thanks!

To you if I'm not mistaken...you upgraded to 9.0-1 via pacman,
but the fix was in 9.01 not 9.0-1.
If you read my post, I was responding to Vex who said 9.0[-1] fixed his issue. Knowing that 9.0[-1] != 9. 01 (and that the fix was in 9.01) , I told him it was weird that 9.0-1 fixed his problem (which is more polite than saying, "Bullsh*t!"), and I confirmed the weirdness by pointing out that the 9.0-1 upgrade I had performed earlier that morning did nothing for me (nor did I expect it to because the fix was in 9.01). Finally, I confirmed that building and installing 9.01 did the trick (as it was supposed to).
I don't really think anybody was confused about 9.0-1 != 9.01. That's why I asked who Stonecrest was talking to. No big deal.

For all those with "BLANK SCREEN ISSUES" with MacBook Pro's....

...I suggest you direct all the issues you're having to Apple through the feedback form here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
I for one have rang tech support twice now, had a go and the only response I got back was to go to that link, fill the form in and wait for response.
State the problems you're having and post this link as reference:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1478474
Hopefully then Apple with acknowledge each of us.
(PS. Apple people...DO NOT delete this post for being "off topic" because it most definately IS ON TOPIC!. Im trying to save people from calling tech support at their expense only to be told to fill in the feedback form.)

Windows 7 Firewire Issues with CS5 and ADVC-700

I've got a Windows 7, 64 bit system with CS 5. In dubbing out for playback, I route a firewire cable from the PC to an Canopus/Grass Valley ADVC-700. Both units are less than a year old and are having issues with "black outs" during the dub out process. I've read different things about Windows 7 having issues with firewire drivers. After speaking to someone with Adobe, I've changed my firewire driver to Legacy. That hasn't helped.
The ADVC-700 has s-video out running to preview monitor and BNC out/XLR audio running to my playback system for ingest. When the video goes to black (usually for a 1/2 second), the audio drops out with it.
I've reset the settings on the ADVC-700 with no luck.
Any suggestions on a fix or something else to try?

I did test with a JVC GY-HD200U and there weren't any performance issues which led me back to the PC or other on the PC.
The system is running Windows 7, 64 bit with CS5 Production Premium following an upgrade from the CS4 version.
I've got 12 GB of Ram, (2) Intel Xeon Quad Core E5560 -2.8 GHZ processoCrs.
(1) 500GB SATA2 hard drive, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (System Drive)
(3) 1 TB SATA2 Hard drives, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 Storage Drive)
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT graphics Card
Supermicro X8DAi motherboard, Intel 5520 Chipset, 2-PCIe X16, 1 PCIe x4, 3-PCI, 10-USB2 ports, 2-pro/1000 NIC, 8-channel HD audio, 6 SATA ports, RAID 0/1/5/10
I've got the legacy drivers for the firewire card. I've checked to make sure all of the power save options are off along with all screen saver options. I've cleaned my Adobe Cache out, deleted my Adobe Preferences, went from the 4pin/6pin cable to a 6pin/6pin cable to feed the ADVC-700 from the PC, reset the ADVC 700 back to factory specs...all of this with no luck.
The problem seems to be worse since the move from CS4 to CS5 but it's hard to tell.
I've also hooked up an older ADVC-500 unit with the same output results.
I think I noted in the first post that this is happening on two indentical systems with the same cabling and programs and the same ADVC-700 boxes.
I've been told by Adobe to clean my C; drive and reload the OS and Adobe CS5 as I should have done that when I upgraded instead of just upgrading the system from CS4 to CS5 using the discs. I haven't done this yet as I have to budget time/workflow to accomodate.

Is anyone having any uneven or discoloured screen issues with iPad mini or iPad 4th Gen?

Hello, in view of the fact that many users had screen discolouration issues and uneven backlight issues with the iPad 3rd Gen, I wonder if those issues have been sorted out. Has anyone here had any screen issues with the iPad mini, or the iPad 4th Gen?

No.

Windows 7 Install Issues with Mac Pro

I have Mac Pro with Windows XP SP3 installed with Boot Camp on a separate, dedicated 250GB HD.
I purchased an upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Premium. I hoped to install the 64-bit version. I upgraded, per Boot Camp I&S Guide, Boot Camp to version 3.1. After Boot Camp upgrade, I mounted the Windows 7 64-bit installation disk. Since the Windows disk did not open automatically, I then attempted to open the Setup.exe file but got the following error message –
“D:/setup.exe is not a valid Win 32 application.”
I suspect the Boot Camp 3.1 upgrade was for the 32-bit Windows XP system currently installed and this caused Windows 7 (64-bit) not to open.
If my suspicion is correct, would upgrading to Boot Camp 3.1 (64-bit) cause problems with the currently installed Windows XP? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have since attempted to boot from the Windows 7 install disk by using both the OS 10.6.3 System Preferences/Startup Disk and from within Windows XP using the Boot Camp Control Panel. In both cases, all I saw was a black screen with a “Select CD-ROM Boot Type” and flashing cursor. No keyboard input was possible.
If anyone encounters this problem, go to the Boot Camp/Installation and Storage discussion and search for “Select CD-ROM Boot Type”. Hal Jay Greene has an excellent article here titled “Select CD-ROM Boot Type Error installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp walkthrough” dated Mar 20, 2010 that walks one through the process of creating a boot disk for installing Windows 7 x64. Two minor comments on his discussion. John Anderson’s blog is at www.AndersonsHatch.com (note extra s) and Imgburn can be downloaded free from www.imgburn.com.
I used Mr. Greene’s procedure and the resultant boot disk loaded Windows 7 correctly.
Unfortunately, a new issue arose. Installing Windows 7 over Windows XP requires a clean install that eliminates all Boot Camp installations. After installing Windows 7, I attempted to load Boot Camp by inserting the Mac SL installation disk and clicking on Setup in the Boot Camp folder. The result was this error message: “Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model”. Fortunately, there is a procedure that worked for me, and my MacPro, to bypass this error message. It can be found near the bottom of this article http://blog.andersonshatch.com/2009/01/11/windows-7-x64-on-a-macbook-pro-guide/ on John Anderson’s blog.

Notebook screen issues with green stains

Hello:
I currently own an
HP G62-355DX Notebook PC
[Personal Information Removed]
P/N: XH068UA#ABA
running Windows 7 64-bit
All of sudden (not gradually) green "stains" appeared on my notebook's screen as 3 circles one around the other, sort of like a "bulls-eye" and when I try to run a program in full-screen mode the screen goes bezerk and nothing is readable. I thought it was an issue with the cable connecting the screen to the main-board but I've been told the issues would be different.
These green "stains" or pixels affect any program running or the screen itself, even the Windows 7 starting screen and the HP logo when the notebook is turned on by making the letters on the bottom-left corner unreadable.
After contacting HP at Peru, where I currently reside, I was told the model was not sold here and that I had to contact US support. They said that it could be an issue with the screen itself that could require maintenance at an HP office. And also told me that it was unlikely for remote support to be able to fix the issue.
It is still not over a year before I got the notebook so I'm guessing the warranty is still available.
Would I be required to e-mail the computer back to headquarters in hopes of it being repaired? Is it possible that it could be dealt with at your offices at Peru (I will still be residing here for quite some time).

Better call the hp tech support at 1-800-474-6836. HTH

Screen Issue with HP G7000 laptop

Hi there,
I bought a second hand HP G7000 laptop preinstalled with Windows Vista Home Premium x86 a few days ago, the problem with it was that the screen wouldn't light up even when plugged the laptop was plugged in using the AC adapter which I also had to buy seperately as the original one was misplaced and only cost me £10 for a compatible one off the Internet, the screen wasn't shattered and showed no signs of wear and tear, I took it to my local PC repair shop for £40 in which the contacts behind the screen needed connecting back up and with a little soldering for some other parts of the repair, however when I tookit back to my place the screen lit up fine in which I decided to perform a factory restore to make it feel like it was brand new and that it belonged to me. After restoring the laptop successfully, I noticed that a lot of stuff was a little out-of-date and decided to update it to make it compliant with the latest security fixes as well as the latest bug fixes i.e. to upgrade to SP2 etc, however upon updating and turning on the laptop every so often the display kept going funny i.e. black and white and wouldn't display anything clearly in which I had to keep forcing the laptop to shut down with using the power button in which I don't like doing as this will corrupt the hard drive eventually, however upon researching this problem on the Internet I stumbled across this forum thread http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f108/hp-g7000-screen-issue-529809.html using Google describing a very similar problem to me, the problem not only seems to be with tilting the angle of the screen but also the surface in which the unit is placed down on, I've tried various surfaces including my USB fan cooler, glass and wood and all produce various results from time to time. So I guess the answer is to place the unit down on a flat surface that isn't shiny and screen not tilting when using the laptop? I thought the purpose of a laptop was to make computing mobile regardless of what surface you place the unit down on and what angle you have the screen at. Your feedback and suggestions would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
RocknRollTim
P.S. I also suspect that the problem is related to interference and lighting conditions as well as heating conditions and the battery as the battery sometimes retains its charge whereas sometimes it doesn't and have to use the AC adapter when this happens, don't know whether flashing the BIOS has helped the battery to retain its charge though.
This question was solved.

Hello @RocknRollTim,
I understand that your notebook computer is experiencing an issue with the display screen as well as keeping a charge with the battery, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To further diagnose the integrity of your computer's battery, I recommend following this document on Calibrating the Notebook Battery (Windows Vista). This should help re-synchronize the battery with your notebook.
Because the display intermittently stays on the screen when moved a certain angle, I believe the display panel cables are defective. According to the Maintenance and Service Guide for your computer, this part can be replaced with a camera (462455-001) or without (454932-001), and can be found from the multiple vendors below:

Droid 2 Global Reboots & Blank Screen issues

This is my second Droid 2 Global. The first one was replaced within the 30 day purchase period due to a battery charging issue. Verizon tried replacing the battery (that gave an 1 hour a day more), tried extended battery, no change, could only get 5-6 hours life a day even with the extended batter. Replaced the phone a week ago with 2nd one, brand new, and now have several issues except the battery. The battery life is great, get a full day, 7 AM - midnight, and rarely goes less than 30%. But, new issue developed:
1. Screen will just go blank at random times, and cannot get the screen display to work without pulling the battery. Even hitting the off button on the top, it will not turn off or restart. A call can come in, if I guess where to hit on the screen, I can answer it or with my bluetooth headset.
2. Frequent reboots, but short ones, not the full on one. Today as an example it rebooted 5 times, every 1-2 hours. It will do it in the middle of a call, ending the call, or even when it is just sitting idle. Another time, I was starting to dial a number, or look up a contact, and boom, reboot.
A couple of notes,
1. the first Global 2 did not do that, just had a charging issue with the phone. But the apps were exactly the same. Yes, it would do a reboot, but a full one randomly once a week or so, but not every other hour.
2. I am not new to Droid, I also have an original one purchased over a year ago, same apps. I just replaced it 30 days ago or so. It rarely rebooted. I just replaced it because it was too slow in response and the battery was starting to age.
3. Been removing Apps that I have been running successfully for over a year thinking one of the updates started this, but I am running out of possibilities.
Any suggestions other than a full factory reset. That just does not make sense I would have to do that since the phone is only 7 days old, and it has been doing this since its birth.

I understand your frustration in this matter. I suggest completing a master reset of the device. Please back up the phone's information on your PC before the reset, since you will lose the data and the phone will be restored to factory settings. I have included the steps for the master reset below.
Turn off the phone
Power on phone while pressing "X" key on qwerty keypad - release "X" and power key after you see Motorola batwings.
You should now see an "!" in a triangle with Android guy
Press the "Search" key on qwerty keypad to enter factory menu, this will unhide the menu and show the following options
Reboot system Now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Use Vol Up / Vol down to navigate to "wipe data/factory reset" and then use Camera side key or Menu key to select "wipe data/factory reset"
Use Vol Up / Vol down to navigate to "Yes delete all user data" and then use Camera key to select "Yes - delete all user data"
Wait for operation to complete (maybe 1 minute or so) and then press camera key to select "reboot system now"
If you have any additional issues, please let us know.
Thank you and have a great day!

Weird screen issues with safari

Hi, I just got a refurbished 15" macbook pro...not retina, but I believe it's a 2012 model. I'm experiencing a couple weird issues with it. So far, they seem to be exclusive to Safari, but I'm not sure yet. Haven't been able to recreate the same problems in Chrome or other programs. The problems are:
1) When filling text into a blank or box...as in a google search, or typing a facebook message, the text I am typing will often disappear or be invisible until i move the cursur to someplace else...then the text will show up. Words at a time can be invisible. Like I said, so far, I'm only noticing this in Safari, not Chrome, but I'll have to test with Chrome some more to know for sure.
2) Sometimes portion of a page will be misplaced on the screen. For example, if I'm on Safari, and reading a news story, the left side of the page will look normal, and the right side of the page will look normal, but they won't match in the middle....I'll be seeing text from the beginning of the article one the left side, but from the end on the right side as though only part of the page is able to scroll. Again, this is only in Safari so far.
Both these issues (which I assume are related) have been happening since the first day I got the computer last week and it hasn't been dropped or had anything spilled on it or anything. I'm well within the warranty period, but this problem may be hard to recreate immediately if I bring it in to a store, so I want to check here first and see if anybody has any ideas.
I'm hoping this is a simple known bug with Safari that will eventually be fixed and not a problem with my new computer. It is enough to have me second guessing my decision to go with a refurbished model, but I'm probably just paranoid. I'd appreciate any info that anyone has. Thanks!!!

I could suggest a reset, but I don't believe that will do much good.
First, I would contact your local Apple Store, should you be near one, and see if the Genius Bar can solve the problem quickly.
Second, if they require repairs, you can use their expertise; or, you can use iPod Juice - a business that's more competitive. The latter is where I had my repairs done; email them for fees and services.

Windows 7 compatibility issues with Studio 8

Hi guys,
Sorry if this question has been asked before.
I can't afford to upgrade my Studio 8, and I would ideally like to install it clean on my Windows 7 rig which is working fine.
I understand that there is an issue with Flash and Windows 7, and I would like to know what it is (and how serious), and also whether there are any other compatibility issues that would make problems for myself.
Any advice gratefully received.

If compatibility is important to you, your best best is to run a virtual machine in your Windows 7 64-bit installation. You can do this using Virtual PC as part of Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, or via VMWare's Player software ( http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ ).
Also just a reminder that CS5 betas are planned for later this year and Adobe typically only allows you to upgrade from the previous 3 versions (Studio 8 = CS2, CS5 will be the last version) and some of the Creative Suite applications are going to be 64-bit only(a couple products have updated FAQs stating this fact).

SLI N660Ti-2GD5/OC with N660Ti PE 2GD5/OC

Hello
Am new to this whole graphics card thing, having just decided to get back into gaming after a 20 year break (left off with the original Nintendo - wow what a change!), and am looking to SLI the two subject cards. I started off with the N660Ti-2GD5/OC and just purchased a N660Ti PE 2GD5/OC.
I had read that as long as both cards are the same chip/family, SLI isn't a problem. However, since purchasing the PE card I've read that both should have the same clock speeds, which these two cards don't have. The N660Ti-2GD5/OC is 941MHz Core (Boost Clock:1019.5MHz) where as the PE/OC is 1019MHz Core (Boost Clock:1097MHz).
I've never overclocked anything, but afterburner makes it look pretty simple. Would my best strategy be to OC the N660Ti-2GD5/OC to the same level as the stock PE card, then tweak both up in parallel from there? Can afterburner set both the base clock as well as the boost clock?
Will get the new card in the next couple of weeks, so at this point am looking for some advance info...
Thanks

Quote from: smitty333 on 25-May-13, 23:58:35
Thanks guys. I agree with the 680 opposed to the 660 sli. In my home rig, which was my second build, that's exactly what I did thinking if I wanted to skip the 700 series, could simply sli the 680 at a later date. For my first build (work location PC with 660ti), I wasn't really sure how the whole thing worked and just kind of learned as I went. Am still planning on skipping the 700 series, so hopefully 660ti SLI will continue to do a good job, even with the newer games optimized for the new console generation.
GTX660 is a mid-range GPU.
In my opinion, if you want to skip the 700 series, you also need to get rid of those GTX660.
As you can see, 2x GTX670 in SLI are as good as a single GTX690 and close to 2x GTX680 in SLI.
If you cannot afford a GTX690, just buy 2x GTX670.
2x GTX670 in SLI is probably the best price/performances compromise.

Satellite A210 PSAFGC - Bios update to get rid of blank screen issue

I also have the blank screen problem and I would like to update my bios from the 1.30 version it came with.
The problem I have is that I have a model A210 part number PSAFGC.
The support bulletin 98082422 for the Bios update doesn't mention my part number exactly and I can't find anything for my model.
The 2 updates are to 1.70 and 1.90. I have read the text from both of these and they seem quite different.
Not sure what to do. Here is the bulletin info.
Resolution:
Update the computer's BIOS to fix this problem, by clicking the appropriate link for your computer model from the following list.
- Satellite A210 / A215, Part No. PSAFGU: BIOS version 1.70
- Satellite A210 / A215, Part No. PSAEGU and PSAELU: BIOS version 1.90
- Satellite Pro A210 / A215, Part No. PSAFHU: BIOS version 1.70
- Satellite P200D / P205D, Part No. PSPBLU and PSPBQU: BIOS version 1.40
he computer's Part No. is printed on a label on the underside of the case.
Any help??

Hi
The Satellite *A210 PSAFGC* series seems to be a Toshiba *Canadian* series and I would recommend checking the Toshiba Canadian driver page if you want download the compatible BIOS for your notebook.

Awkward Windows Live Messenger issue with 6760

I was having a windows live messenger conversation with a friend yesterday on my new 6760, the area I was in had terrible reception so it kept roaming or cutting out, asking me if I wanted to resend my messages, etc.
I resent them a few times, not sure if they were getting through, when I was startled by a response from a totally different person on my messenger list.
To be clear- I was chatting with person A, when suddenly person B was receiving my messages instead. The chat still said I was talking to person A, and when I checked who was involved in the chat, the only participants were listed as myself and person A, however all my messages were being sent to person B instead, who I had not actually initiated a chat with, they just happened to be online at that time.
Any ideas? I'm a little paranoid to use messenger now, not knowing who is going to end up getting my messages!

Why don't you use another im application like nimbuzz(get.nimbuzz.com) or ebuddy(get.ebuddy.com)
