X-FI worked great for one day, now system won't boot up - NMI: Parity Check / Memory Parity Er

I can get the system to come up in safe mode, but can't get it to come up normally. I installed the card on Saturday and it worked great with no issues (played about 4 hours of WoW with it). The machine booted up fine at least 3 times yesterday. This morning, it won't come up normally at all: BSoD:
NMI: Parity Check / Memory Parity Error - The System has Halted
I made a restore point prior to installing the X-FI drivers yesterday, so I am going to go ahead and go back to that point and hope the system comes up. If it does, then there is a serious problem with the X-FI drivers.
My system is a standard Intel chipset running a Pentium 4, 3.8 Ghz - single core, non-64 bit with 2 Gigs of Ram.
I will post back on here if I have any luck with the restore point.

Memory chips are pretty vulnerable these days. The first week I had my PC I tested my memory with memtest and all was fine. A week later, I began getting BSODs, but every time because of a different driver or module. So I retested it and it wasn't OK anymore. Send it back, got a new one. Worked for a month, then same problems! The 3rd time was the good one... The memory lasted, but my Power Supply broke! After replacing everything is fine for a year now... I don't know if there is any connection, but I think my PSU was eating my memory sticks.
But anyway, I hope your BSOD is just a "statistical" one.

    Sounds like an activation issue. Quite Premiere Pro. Sign out of Creative Cloud. Restart Premiere Pro. Sign back in: http://bit.ly/CC-sign-out
    Hope that works for you.

  • [SOLVED] Switch to systemd - Now system won't boot

    I saw that todays update upgrade included the installation of systemd. I looked the wiki and did the necessary changes (I already had made the /etc/hostname etc. files). So I added the
    init=/bin/systemd
    line to grub and now my system won't boot. I get an error saying something about syslog service not enabled and then a black screen. I can boot my machine fine without the "init=/bin/systemd" line but I want to run a pure systemd system since Arch is moving to it anyway. In the wiki it mentions to install systemd-sysvcompat but it conflicts with initscripts it says. What am I doing wrong or missing?

    when I try to enable alsa and dbus I get this

    The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.

    Is LVM handled automatically by systemd? The reason I ask is because I have the USELVM= set to YES in rc.conf.
    I made the permanent transition to systemd and did not start alsa at all - sound works fine - so I never bothered with the alsa-store/alsa-restore service files at all - it just works! Also dbus gets handled by default in systemd so you don't need any starting of dbus service at all... it just works.

  • Argh! Updated ipod 4G software. Worked fine for a day now showing ZERO song

    Updated my 4G 40gb iPod and for a day everything was fine. Now iTunes is telling me to restore iPod to factory settings and iPod itself shows 0 songs but still 8 GB left on ipod. What should I do? I had over 4,000 songs on there!

    I'm also having problem in here after taking that new update 10.1. My 40 Gb's iPod 2.3 have asked many times to set it for factory settings. So I set it to factory settings and drive that latest updating to it. Then I try to correct it with Drive 10 hard drive program and checked one more time with Disk Utility, but it's still acting odd. In Preferences>Main menu there is such kind of a menu than importing photos. I think that haven't been there earlier and it should not be there, because it's not any Photo iPod. Why to import photos with using it when I can use it like a hard drive and keep thousands of photos there anyway.
    There must be something odd in that latest update and I hope to find that earlier update somewhere. Do you happen to have it? If you do can you please send that to me. I have moved mine in trash. I also would be very thankful if someone do have better advises for what to do next.

  • CS6 beta won't open anymore. Worked great for 3 days. Did it expire already?

    I installed this week (PC, Windows 7), and had no trouble. But now when I try to open it, whether from Bridge (which still works fine) or through applications menu, or any other way, it hangs on the opening screen and won't let me click "continue trial," although all the other buttons work (e.g., enter serial number, click through to forums, etc.). Anyone else having this problem?

    I assume you downloaded from http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs6/ and correctly selected TRY when installing rather than entering a serial number.
    It would be hepful if you could answer these questions:
    Did you enter your Adobe ID or skip that part? (must be done within 7 days with system online)
    Did you get a message when trying to run the program today?
    What did it say?
    Did you alter the clock or the date?
    Thanks,

  • SOLVED: Created /etc/X11/xorg.conf, now system won't boot.

    I was trying to solve an issue with display resolution not sticking and it was suggested to me that I create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
    I created the file and put in the lines that I had in my .xprofile related to xrandr.
    Now... my system will not boot. It appears to get hung up trying to detect my ethernet connection. I tried Ctrl-Alt-F1 to avoid X windowing, no dice.
    What's more, my system rescue pen drive appears to have died. I still have my Arch install CD.
    All I want to do is delete xorg.conf. My arch root is a logical volume so I have no idea how to mount it after I boot from the Arch install CD, or if I can even do this.
    Update: So embarrassing, my mount command was wrong. Once I did something that looked like this:
    mount /dev/VolGroup0/root /mnt/
    I was able to get into /etc/X11 and delete xorg. conf. Rebooted and all appears well.

    For mounting LVM, this page should probably help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LV … al_volumes
    Once in, then it should be easy.

  • Trial version froze after working well for 2 days, now will not open

    Two days into my trial version PP froze, so I shut it down. Now when I click on the icon to reopen nothing happens. I tried re-downloading it and that didn't work either. Before it froze it seem to be working quite well. Any ideas?

  • Bought SCS-2U01 network extender - worked great for 10 days...

    now the system light is slow blinking or steady red. Read the manual online and it says that means "abnormal". Failure communicating with Verizon Wireless.
    All other lights are blue. It's plugged into my wi-fi modem and my laptop works fine, so there's nothing wrong with my wi-fi. Any suggestions??

    Mine usually does this for 15-20 minutes when it's first powered on, or when it's connection has been reset.  Have you contacted Verizon Customer/Technical Support (800-922-0204)?  If you purchased this unit from somewhere other than Verizon or as a refurbished unit, it's MAC ID may still be associated with the previous owner's account.  Verizon Support can also assist with this.

  • College requested I install firefox in order to operate within Blackboard. Has been working fine for one week, now unable to use enable HTML button. Getting incompatible browswer message and firefox version unknown. How do I fix?

    Very frustrating - I have done all of the plug-in checks. Everything is up to date. I have re-booted my computer. The college is using Blackboard version CE8.0.5. I am Windows XP. What else do you need to know?

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
    ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
    Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
    On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

  • I updated my OS to 10.10 Yosemite all apps worked fine for two days -now I can't open AI. help.

    I get a window that says "The application “Adobe Illustrator CS5.1” is not open anymore."

    I tried downloading the newer Itunes, it didn't change anything in my Ipod Touch that apple ID still won't work. When I first updated to the 10.6 I was using a very old version of Itunes and it changed a lot in my ipod which I think had something to do with it now messing up.

  • I have a MAC OSX. Beta 4 worked great for 2 days then disappeared.

    The Firefox logo remained on my dock, but clicking on it did not bring up anything. Computer sounded like it was searching and sometimes the colored wheel appeared and went round and round, but Firefox never opened. I shut off the computer and tried to reinstall Beta 4, but this time I got a "unable to mount" message. I was able to download the 3.6 version which is what I am using to do this. My MAC is 5 years old. Can it not handle Beta 4? Thanks.

  • Changed file viewing settings for Guest account, now iMac won't boot :(

    I'll start this off by mentioning that I'm not really a techie type person, but I'll do my best to describe what I did as accurately as possible. And I'm pretty good at following layman's terms troubleshooint advice!
    I recently decided to move my iMac into the living room of my apartment. I have never found the need to create a Guest account, but I figured it might be convenient for..well, a guest every now and then. But when I created the guest account I discovered very quickly that they would have access to all of my photos, documents, movies, etc. via the "view all documents" "view all photos" tabs on the left-hand side of the Finder window. I googled what to do and people were saying that it is best to change the viewing options of particular folders via the "get info" tab when you right-click on a folder. There were three categories, the first one I believe was Admin or the main user, the second is "wheel" and the third says "Everyone". I changed the "Everyone" access on the folders I wanted private from read-writable to "none". I left the "wheel" and "admin" categories alone. I also did this to the utilities folder, and the library under the assumption it would only affect guest access to these files, not admin access!
    Also, under the Account Preferences tab in the Apple menu I disabled the viewing of shared folders for the guest. I also disabled automatic login.
    Next thing I know, while I'm under the guest login trying to test out my security updates, I see I can't click on anything! Or open anything! I can't open the finder at all, I can't open the internet, I can't even get to the Apple drop-down menu. I couldn't even log out of guest. I had to turn off my computer without shutting it down. I turned it back on, and it went through the motions of booting up until the blue screen with the grey dashed loading circle (no beach ball, thank god). It acts like it will proceed beyond that point, the grey circle disappears for a moment, but then nothing happens and that process starts over. Like it's stuck and can't find it's own files. I also notice a tiny white square in the upper left-hand corner of the blue screen if that means anything.
    I don't know what the heck I did. I think I somehow managed to block my own admin access (is that even possible??).

    You need to get the install discs, erase the hard drive, and reinstall all the software from scratch. When acquiring a used Mac there's no way to know what condition its software is in... there might be hacks, security holes, pirated software, keyloggers, credit card sniffers, or other even riskier stuff on it. Using a pre-owned Mac's software as-is is a Very High Security Risk. Your Mac's software is obviously distressed. What's more, you are not licensed to use any Apple software unless you own and are in possession of the install discs.
    Get the discs and reinstall. Apple will send you new ones that match your model for a small shipping fee. Call them and provide your Mac's serial number.
