X320 with Quad Core / IPS (no screen issues / throttling this time)

Make it happen Lenovo.
Shut up and take my money.

the one RED light that stays on is on the top of the 4 LED lights inside above the power button on the left . It stays on constantly even after I shut down the computer . now in order to shut down I have to do a manual shut down every time and at start up it will not recognize the optical drive and I believe the fans only run at a very low rate and the LED on the processor tray stays light while the computer is on and running or atleast what appears to be a state of running with absolutle no picture at all now .is it the motherboard or the processor can anyone tell me which way to go .

RealVNC with Quad Core Mac Mini "Refresh Issues"

Upgraded my Mac Mini server from a dual core to Quad Core machine. Headless machine, hence used RealVNC to administrator it. So when I utilised RealVNC, connecting via an ipad and the quad core machine had "Refresh Issues"!! Went back to the Dual Core machine and you can view everything in real-time! Can't explain it and the RealVNC people can't understand it either, yet!!!???

It has a wired ethernet connection, the wireless is on but more for "location" services. And no USB 2.0 or 3.0 devices attached, in fact it's headless, and only the power and ethernet connection attached. But interesting to learn of the wireless issues on the new mini's. Thanks!

Will It Work on Leopard: iMac Late 2009 with Quad Core i7, 8GB and 4850 Mobility GPU

Hi. I'm doing an experiment if the garbled screen (unreadable but the OS and files are not being corrupted at all) I'm experiencing since I upgraded to Lion (up to Yosemite) is a software bug (specifically when it's running it's 3D drivers) or a hardware bug (possibly the GPU is failing). I would rule it as a hardware, that the iMac's GPU is failing but when I used Ubuntu 14.04 Live CD which does not use any of the 3D drivers (it doesn't use OpenGL) for its 3D acceleration, it's perfect there which is why I feel it may be a software bug- no problems with 3D acceleration.
If Leopard would work on the late 2009 iMac with i7 quad core, that'd be great.
Thank you in advance.

The only issue I have found is that the there are no additonal display resolution settings to adjust.
So the iMac is stuck with its native resolution in OS X 10.5.8 Leopard (I hate the iMac's 2550 x 1900 resolution. Everything is just too small for my 50 year old eyes.)
You can adjust the size of icons and icon text size in the Finder Prefs and View Options, you can adjust the Dock size, but that is pretty much it.
No way to adjust the size of the text in the top main menu bar or make the text in the title bar on Finder windows larger, either.
But everything else works.
I can access all of my other external drives, most of the applications, that are mostly updated to work just with OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, launch and work fine. My Wacom Intuous3 tablet seems to work fine add I can adjust the preferences and controls of all of by pens and airbrush tool.
My older IR Microsoft and Logitech mice work fine.
I can't believe how much faster OS X 10.5.8 runs on this iMac.
If I hadn't updated all of my Apple apps on OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and all my updated iTunes, iPhoto and Aperture Libraries, long ago, needed more up to date web browsers (TenFourFox wasn't available back in 2011) and Mail clients, more up to date Flash and security updates, I might have just stayed using OS X 10.5 Leopard on this iMac.
It is quite a bit faster than Snow Leopard. Even that much faster considering I am running OS X 10.5.8 from my external FW800 drive.

Please to help rookie with quad core on P35 Neo 2 (MS-7345)

I bought a home built computer (specs below) for my sons almost a year ago and have had nothing but trouble with it. After I finally realized that the graphics card was over-heating it worked better for a bit after replacing Radeon 9600 with some crappy one. Then I reinstalled XP and seem to have lost drivers for some of the functions of the MB like sound and networking. Presently it is an impressive looking paperweight with fantastic specs.
It does boot to XP and has internet connection now that I stuck in a NIC card.
I was foolish enough to install and run microsoft genuine advantage and, because it didn't pass, have to read about it every boot and login. So I'd like to reinstall XP again.
I do have System info for Windows (SIW) installed.
I bought system so sons could play Call of Duty 4. When I try to launch COD it gives message:
"Error during initialization:
Miles sound system initialization failed.
Make sure you have your sound card's latest drivers and DirectX installed."
I have installed latest DirectX but do not know what to do about sound card as it is function of MB, I think.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as to next steps or what further info I would need to gather to solve.
Thank you!

Thank you again for that page. I had looked (in vain) for this because I did not receive the MSI cd with this computer.
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1213
I dl'd all of the files and began to install from the bottom up. The "Intel INF Drivers for 3/4/5 Chipsets" went fine but in the 'read me' for "Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver" it says that if none of the supported RAID or SCSI controllers are present in the Device Manager/IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers then your computer is not in RAID, SCSI or AHCI modes and these drivers are not applicable. Does that makes sense considering the type of hard drive? Do hard drives have drivers? (apologies if this does not make sense)
Also, the "Realtek PCI-E Ethernet Drivers" only contains dll, system and a security catalog file. I do not know what to do with these to install.

Oracle Licensing for a server with Quad Core Processor

I know Oracle Standard Edition ONE is only licensed to install on a server with a max of 2 processors.
1) Now when it comes to the type of processor does it matter what type of processors they are ?
2) Can we have 2 Quad Core Processors on the server and install the Standard Edition One ( and comply to Oracle Licensing) ?
Please do not direct me to Oracle Sales Rep, I want inputs from the Oracle experts from this forum

Please do not direct me to Oracle Sales Rep, I want inputs from the Oracle experts from this forumUnfortuinately, no matter what you hear on the net, it ain't worth anything in front of a judge. Therefore you MUST get the final answer from someone with authority to speak on behalf of Oracle - and that is a Sales Rep.
However, in the mean time, you can read http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/sig-070616.pdf .
SPECIFICALLY LOOK AT PAGE 15. Many people (including some in this thread) are totaly wrong about how Standard Edition is licensed.

"iMac 27" with quad core with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB video processor"

I'm about to order a new iMac 27" quad core with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB video processor.
I'm a long time PC gamer but decided i want to make the full switch to Mac and I have a few questions about the graphics capabilities of this computer.
I game in a clan that plays Battlefield 2 Project Reality.
Will this card handle this game at the high settings and native resolution of the monitor? I also play COD4 and have the same question for that game.
Thanks for your input. I'm sure this will be helpful for all of us and I will share it with my clan of over 100 people strong.

Yeah it plays crysis fine, here is a video of me playing it:

My specs are: Core i7, 8gb of ram and ATI 4850.

Late 2.5 Quad Core Processor unit removal issue

I have a late G5 2.5 GHz Quad Core PPC and after following all the service notes for pulling the processor assembly out of the case, it is still stuck. 6 screws removed, 8 captive head screws loosened and it doesn't want to lift up...any ideas out there? Are the connectors hard to disengage? I need to get this apart and put in some new heatsink compound before I can use it anymore. It is a single pump model. Thanks so much for the help! Jim

Very frustrated with my LG G2. My screen freezes all the time when texting. This started after the upgrade. My husband's phone is doing the same thing. We have reset the phones, deleted off pics and videos but nothing helps.

Very disappointed in my LG G2. My screen freezes all the time especially when texting. This started after the update. My husband's phone is doing the same thing. We have done a hard reset, deleted pics and videos to clean up the phone but nothing helps. Any suggestions? Our phones are new.

Lots of Frustration. In some cases the LGG2 is rendered useless even as a phone.
Here is what I did.
Got replacement Phone.
Same problems but I shut down all apps that I purchased even though they worked before KitKat.
Found that If I have both WiFi and LTE Data on at the same time battery chewing stops. Do Not know why.
Then I got 2 CM free utilities. The Clean and Wash utilities. Run them and find the culprits grinding CPU
cycles and running down the battery. Number One is the Verizon Voice Mail service constantly turning on and off
and retrieving data not there. Turn of the extra Voice mail and use the old access with the *6. Unless you have
100 messages a day for business your hosed until this KitKat issue is fixed. Get the CM battery utility.
YOU can see the battery suckers and shut them down when not using automatically.
Start putting back one application at a time you used often and see it they work and if the utilities will tune them
down if they cause problems. The LG will get better but with some limitations.
LG and Verizon have a problem with what was a great phone.turned bad overnight.

P6N Diamond+Quad core overclocking - Help if you have this board.

Am having some issues trying to get even the simplest overclock on this board plus some wierd stuff it is doing with ram settings. Can't get linked setting to work.
I've read all of the 680i tutorials. Nvidia, XS, HardOCP..............I've read Toms Hardware pre-release review. Basically anything I could find..............
Chip is running cool and rock stable at stock settings with either bios.

ok lads - here we go...
it's been a very interesting and revealing morning for me - spent the last 5 hours tweaking the bios, then testing, then tweaking, then testing. these are the results:
note 1: unless otherwise stated, all settings are 'optimised defaults' with 'CE1' disabled (go into 'advanced BIOS features/cpu feature' and press F4 if you can't find it) and 'spread spectrum' disabled.
note 2: unless otherwise stated, 'system clock mode' is set to manual and the memory is set to 800 and timings are on auto.
note 3: default voltages are used unless stated
note 4: each prime95 test is carried out for 5 minutes only
note 5: i'm using a thermaltake kandalf vd4000 case with built-in liquid cooling system. my water-cooled cpu temp in the bios is 19oC (can't seem to get the degree sign using the tip at the top of this page)
note 6: cpu is q6600. memory is 2x1gb xms2 dominator pc2-8500. vga is gainward 8800gtx. psu is hiper 5th gen type-r 770w. bios version is 1.2.
note 7: core temp 0.95 was used for establishing cpu temperature. (apparently, this gives default readings that are 15oC higher than the actual relevant cpu temperature).
test 1 (stock cpu setting):
fsb set to 1066
=2.4ghz
error-free prime95 for 5 minutes: YES
max load temp: 46
test 2:
fsb set to 1166
=2.62ghz
error-free prime95 for 5 minutes: YES
max load temp: 47
test 3:
fsb set to 1206
=2.71ghz
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 47
decided to try pumping some more volts into the cpu to see if i could get it stable in prime95
test 4:
fsb set to 1206
=2.71ghz
cpu voltage increased by 0.0125
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 47
test 5:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.0250
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 47
test 6:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.0375
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 48
test 7:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.0500
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 48
test 8:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.0625
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 49
test 9:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.0750
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 49
test 10:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.0875
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 49
test 11:
as above, but cpu voltage increased by 0.1000
error-free for 5 minutes: NO (4 cores failed within 30 seconds)
max load temp: 50
this took me to the recommended limit for voltage for the q6600, which is 1.375v.
it seems i can safely say that changing the cpu voltage makes absolutely no difference at all.
still keeping the fsb at 1206, the next thing i tried was increasing the NB voltage to 1.275v and keeping the cpu voltage at +0.1000
these settings still couldn't get prime95 to run error-free for more than a few seconds.
keeping the fsb at 1206, cpu voltage at +0.1000 and the NB voltage at 1.275, the next thing for me to try was increasing the 'fsb vtt voltage' by 2%
SUCCESS!!! SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!!
using the above settings, prime95 ran error-free for 5 minutes.
my next problem was trying to work out which of the above voltages settings was the kicker.
keeping the fsb at 1206, i returned the cpu voltage back to default and kept the nb voltage at 1.275 and the 'fsb vtt voltage' at 2%.
SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!!
prime95 ran error-free for 5 minutes.
next test was keeping the fsb at 1206, the cpu voltage at default. i also returned the nb voltage to default but left the 'fsb vtt voltage' at 2%.
SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!!
prime95 error-free for 5 minutes again!
it seems like the vtt voltage is an important player in getting the system to appear stable.
the next test, i set fsb to 1254 giving 2.82ghz.
keeping all voltages on default except the 'fsb vtt voltage' which i kept at 2%.
prime95 produced errors again, pretty much within the first few seconds...
the next test, i kept fsb at 1254, with default voltages, but the 'fsb vtt voltage' was increased to 4%
SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!!
prime95 ran error-free for 5 minutes.
all of a sudden, it seems that regardless of the other settings, the only voltage that matters is the 'fsb vtt voltage'
next test, fsb was set to 1278=2.87ghz.
vtt voltage was 4%
prime95 ran error-free for 5 minutes: YES
cpu temp during load: 49o
next test, fsb was set to 1302=2.92ghz
vtt voltage was 4%
prime95 ran error-free for 5 minutes: YES
cpu temp: 49o
next test, fsb was set to 1326=2.98ghz
vtt voltage was 4%
prime95 ran error-free for 5 minutes: YES
cpu temp: 49o
next test, fsb was set to 1350=3.03ghz
vtt voltage was 4%
CPU FAILED TO POST AND REQUIRED BIOS RESET
next test, fsb was kept at 1350=3.03ghz
vtt voltage increased to 6%
booted fine, but computer froze during prime95
next test, fsb was kept at 1350
vtt voltage was increased to 8%
again, pc froze during prime95
next test, fsb was kept at 1350
vtt voltage was increased to 12%
computer failed to post, requiring reset.
12% was as far as i was comfortable going to, as i'm not sure of the consequences of having this set too high.
it seemed i had reached the limit as far as pushing the fsb goes.
i returned the vtt voltage back to 4% and lowered the fsb to 1334 (i had a hunch that anything over 1333 would give me problems). again, this failed to post.
i set the vtt voltage to 6% - again, it failed to post.
i set the vtt voltage to 8% and again, it failed to post.
i lowered the fsb JUST ONE NOTCH to 1333 and set the vtt voltage to 4%.
this gives an exact cpu speed of 3.000ghz
i'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not, but this setting posted, booted and ran prime95 for 5 minutes without any errors.
it then ran prime95 for over an hour with no errors.
curiously, i set the fsb back up a notch to 1334 and it refused to post, requiring a bios reset.
as i said, it seems 1333 is the absolute limit that i can set this board to in my system configuration. now i don't know about you, but the fact that 1333 works perfectly stable, and 1334 doesn't even post tells me that there is something not quite right with this board.
is it too much of a coincidence that the cpu/mobo hits a wall at EXACTLY 1333/333/3.0ghz?
the next thing i did was set my memory to 1066 and manually set the timings to 5,5,5,15.
coupled with my new rock solid 3.0ghz q6600, this is about as far as it is physically possible for me to push this setup and i'm more than happy with the results.
now i can't wait for the G0 stepping to see what that can do.
maybe a future bios will help with this - who knows...

Cdemu issues (again), this time with KDE Device Notifier

OK, so I'm having trouble with cdemu again. This time it's not about mounting an image, but getting rid of it
Essentially, when I load an image with the cdemu client, KDE Device Notifier immediately recognises it as an inserted optical media... which is cool.
However, when I try to unload it with cdemu, it stays "stuck" in KDE Device Notifier, and I can't access any other image which I mount via cdemu afterwards.
In other words, I do the following...
cdemu load 0 <name>.iso
The image appears to be successfully loaded, and I can access it's contents with no trouble at all. KDE Device Notifier sees it normally, can mount it and open it in Dolphin.
Then, when I'm done with it, I do the following...
cdemu unload 0
This apparently unloads the image, as I can't open it in Dolphin anymore (or any other application within KDE), but KDE Device Notifier still sees it as if the "optical drive" is inserted, and it won't go away. If I try loading another image in cdemu, KDE will still see the previous one, and I won't be able to do anything with it.
I cannot mount or unmount it, I cannot open it in Dolphin or any other application (obviously, because the image isn't mounted anymore), but KDE Device Notifier still insists that it's there, and won't let me access any other image mounted via cdemu.
Since I have very little experience with cdemu and KDE's logs, I don't know what else I should post here, or where to find it...
Any advice or idea would be much appreciated. TIA!

Today the issue disappeared!
I don't understand, yesterday I spent my whole afternoon trying to find why it was not recognised, I rebooted a few times without any luck. In the evening I still had a cdemu iso mounted and left my laptop in "suspend to ram" state, and this morning as soon as I wake from suspend to ram I have a notification from device notifier that my iso is available! I tried to unmount / mount and reboot then mount / unmount, it now works fine...
So it seems the issue fixed itself... Don't know how though..
And the new version of kde-cdemu-manager works fine as well.

HT1725 I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest of the songs keep trying to download and then come up with an error saying they cannot download at this time. I'm not sure what the issue is.

I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest keep trying to download, but I keep getting a message that says, "Song cannot be downloaded at this time. Do you want to retry or be done." Each time I retry, the same thing happens. They will not download. I have restarted my phone and the same problem remains.

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Killer NIC with ASUS R9 290 black screen issues

Hi there,
I've just set up a gaming system with the B85-G43 Gaming board and an ASUS R9 290 (oc r9290-dc2oc-4gd5) and I've stumbled across a strange problem. Within 5 minutes I get a black screen and the only way to get out of it is to reset my computer. It freezes, but doesn't stop working immediately.
So... I've been testing with W7, W8 and W8.1 and no difference. Until... I shut down my network card and no black screens anymore. Also, when I disable my R9 290 in the device manager there are also no black screens anymore. So I should search it in the combination. I've installed all the newest drivers, but no luck.
Has anyone come across the same issue and how did you solve this? I'm getting really frustrated about it...
Thanks for your help guys!

Quote from: Nichrome on 20-January-15, 19:56:04
There is no chance this will work together.
Radeon R9-290 - 31A and a 550W psu minimum
Test stronger power supply. And that might be why you also have issues with other things like in this case, Killer NIC
Ok I've tested your suggestion and replaced the PSU with a cooler master G750M 750 Watt.
Exactly the same problem. I keep getting black screens as soon as I log into windows and the radeon drivers are kicking in. When i disable the radeon drivers: no black screens at all. As soon as i re-enable them: black screen...
Anyone have any other suggestions. Currently I've RMA'd my Asus R9 290. Maybe it'll help but I don't have any confidence....
Thanks!
