X58M wont Boot past ram check? System shuts down by itself

computer parts
X58M, i7 920, ocz elitextream1000, 6GB kingston ddr3 2000 Black slots, PNY 210 (temp)
Just put this system together off frys specials and some parts I had laying around, but the unit wont post
Video card has been moved from one pci slot, to the other. In slot 1 no post at all, in slot 2 the unit will post to the main msi flash screen, then beeps, then begins through system check, stops at 6gn ram check "okay".
The system then stalls, and then it shuts itself down, and
I cant get into the bios, I cant get any further than the 6gb ram check?
any help, as im stumped
thanks

took oout everything except one HDD, reconnected all power cords, reset the video card....and all power connectors
installed one stick of ram in the first black socket, each stick the same thing happens
still the same thing
is it the video card or the ram?
any place I can find out the three beep code, as I keep getting that

IMac from 2009, 4 GB RAM. System shuts down when I use safari or make much moves on the trackpath.

I've got an iMac from 2009, 4 GB RAM. System shuts down when I use safari or make much moves on the trackpath. Use Mavericks, installed Mavericks again on clean system. Problem still exist. What now?

The 2009 iMaccan take 8 GB ram, while it should run ok with 4 it might be a rather inexpensive test to put in 8 and see if that clears up the problems. Mavericks is going to use almost 2 GB itself so, unless you are opening a lot of applications, you should get by with 4 GB. But I would go for 8 and see how it does.

Power Mac G5 wont boot past the Apple Logo

Mac: Power Mac G5 2.7Ghz DP w/ 4gb RAM (2x1gb, 4x512mb), Leopard
Last week, I formated this computer and reinstalled OS X 10.5. I updated everything, reinstalled all my applications and replaced my documents. Everything was good for a couple days. I have and HP 1350 all-in-one printer (which HP no long has mac support for that model, so I can only use the scanner as a photocopier, but that's not the issue, it prints fine and I have printed files since the formatting) The printer is connect via USB to my Power Mac and then shared on my home network, wirelessly, with 2 other MacBooks and a 27" iMac. My roommate was trying to print something from his MacBook. In the printer queue on the MacBook, the file would say it was printing, but nothing would actually printer. When I went to the printer settings on the Power Mac, the dialog box said the printer was "in use." I reset the printer, nothing happened. I restarted the Power Mac, properly, and now the computer wont boot past the Apple logo. The spinning gear appears and spins for a minute or 2 and then it will just reboot on its own. It will just keep doing this in a continuous loop.
I've tried to boot into safe mode (holding shift) but it still does the same thing.
I manage to get the CD drive open by booting into open Firmware. I restarted the computer and was able to boot from the Leopard disc. I ran disk utility, and repaired the drive and the permission but everything was ok.
I've unplugged any USB device connect but to no avail.
I really don't want to reinstall Leopard again. it took almost 8 hours to install all the applications (such as Logic, Komplete 5, etc) and I had not setup time machine. There are some document files that I would prefer not to loose, but could deal with the loss.
any suggestions?

Ok, so I reinstalled Leopard, all my documents were in the "Previous Systems" folder, and the applications where present. I went to Software Updates to download all the need updates, which included 10.5.8, itunes, security fixes, etc. It notified my that I would have to restart. I click ok, everything was logged out and the updates started installing. As the computer restarted itself after the updates, i had the same issue again, where it would go to the Apple logo and then restart itself. The second time around, it just froze and the warning "You need to restart your computer" with the power logo in the background came up. So I manually restarted my computer and everything logged in correctly. I restarted it a couple time to see if I could duplicate the errors but everything keeps working properly. Now I'm kind of scare to restart my computer.
Any suggestions as to why this would be happening? Is this most likely a software issue or a hardware issue? This never happened before I formatted last week. The last time I formatted the computer prior to that was less than a year ago.

K9A2 Plat. board won't boot past NVRAM check

Just updated my K9A2 board from 1.5 to 1.9 hoping to solve some USB issues that were intermittently occurring when I connect my BB or other USB device (it would cause my primary video card to black out, the card's fan would race, thus forcing a reboot; after which it would be just fine).
However, after a successful flash from MSI Live 4 using windows, a CMOS reset, the system will not boot past NVRAM check with the RAID (10) SB600 controller being used. I have seen it pass NVRAM check when the SB600 controller is off. I've even reset the RAID 10 and nothing is happening to get the BIOS past the NVRAM check.
I've also attempted to use the MSI USB flash utility 1.18 however it stalls out 3/4 of the way through on my other k9A2 system (DOS window disappears at the last stage, last DOS box window shown here: https://forum-en.msi.com/moderator/usbguide/guide4.jpg)
My other K9A2 system is at 1.8 and doesn't have the USB detection problems but it has a Sb600 problem in running all 4 discs detected normally (#4 disc always reports in error even though its running fine, could never figure out why it is not detected and have replaced it 2x, rebuilt it other times as well and it changes the failed disc in the array around so I'm thinking its the controller firmware).
With that being said, is there any way around this NVRAM check? The BIOS looks fine in the system and RAID is detected normally and can be built/deleted etc; just this NVRAM check stalls it out.
Please advise.

Have you done this?

Running Widows Vista system, every time I try to copy and paste from Firefox DEP shuts down Word Works

I am using a HP desk top with Windows Vista. When ever I try to copy and paste from Mozilla Firefox, the DEP system shuts down
Microsoft Works Word Processor. I have tried turning off DEP for Works but it still shuts down the Program.

This is might because of your prior change in softwares. so first you have to do run '''sfc''' in run command. and then you see the specific problem which causes this . Since System File Checker (sfc) scan will make Windows replace corrupt or missing system files on your computer.
* Click Start>All Programs>Accessories>right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.
* Click Continue or supply Administrator credentials if prompted.
* In the Command Prompt window type the following, and press Enter:
sfc /scannow

See this is not a problem of firefox till now. You can check more with microsoft answers site.

Auto System Shut Down

Currently I am trying to put together a new computer. I have all the parts needed, and they are compatible. I put everything together, double/tripled checked all connections. when i try to turn it on, it runs for about 10 seconds, then just shuts off. ;( I'm running it bare, i have no monitor, keyboard, mouse, and sound connected. I just turned it on barebone.
I am using:
K7N2 Delta-L Motherboard
AMD 2800 Benton
2x 512 kingston Ram sticks
80gb 7200rpm hard drive
floppy
DVD drive
CD/RW drive
350watt enermax power supply
I have tried taking one of the ram sticks out and turning it on, it didn't work.
I tired getting a new 350watt antec power supply, it didn't work.
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?!?! ?( ;(
Once again my problem is that the system shuts down automaticly after I turn it on. It will run for about 10 seconds then... it's down again.
PLEASE!! SOMEONE HELP!! ;(

CMOS is the chip that stores ya bios info like date, time and cpu settings etc.
It's the 3 pins bellow the small round silver battery.
On my K7N2-L (non Delta) it's jumper JBAT1
It as 2 settings 1 = keep data (normal use)
2 = clear data
look at following X = jumper position o = empty pin
Keep data
O
x
x
Clear data
x
x
o
after clearing cmos (do it with power off on PC or u will fry it) u will then need to setup bios again.
If this still wont boot have a look at jumpers J10 & J11
J10 sets cpu fsb mode
J11 sets cpu fsb frequency.
Look in ya manual it's in there.
Try to get PC to post by setting J11 to
J11 o J10 o
x o J10 not bridged = 100mhz
x
J11 safe mode cpu fsb 100mhz.
It will post then. Just the cpu will be set to a lower speed then it is.
If it posts go in to bios and hit set bios default then bridge J10 making it 133/166 mhz and J11 x
x
o this sets J11 to default 133
reboot and it should post good cpu speed.
Hope u understand all this junk i just wrote

System shut down during F110 payment run

During the F110 payment run, the PRD system shut down. There were 259 items in the proposal and according to the status 42 posting orders were generated and completed. What is the process to handle this problem? Can the payment run be re-started?
It appears that clearing documents were created for some open items before the system shut down but no checks are showing in the check register. Has this happened to anyone before and what steps should be taken to resolve this?

Is it a matter of...
1. deleting the output of the payment run,
2. deleting the proposal
3. canceling the the payment check by check using FCH8 if any occurred
4. reseting and reversing the clearing documents created using FBRA before the system shut down
5. start a new payment run

SYstem Shuts Down Every Time if on AC Power.

1. This does not happen if running on battery.
2. Lenovo suggested test seem to prove it is not a hardware problem --doesn't happen if on "F1" key.
3. Replaced power cord -no change
4. They think it could be defective Windows 7 Upgrade. Did not point to Virus. I have Virus protection.
5. Does not happen when booting up. Only when startup is complete and W7 Start screed is up.
6. Started happening a couple of months ago, at random, once a day. Now it goes black in just minutes, overtime.
7 W7 was installed bout six months ago. Was fine.
8 Can't reload W7 because Microsoft requires you to be on AC power to load.
9. If attempt to load from CD, system shuts down --goes black, complete shut down.

Hi, ttranfagli
I have a few questions so I can get a better grip on the issue at hand:
What is your machine type and model? Also, what do you mean by "if on "F1" key"? Also, have you tried this in Safe Mode? Finally, does this occur if the machine is running off of AC power only with the battery removed?
Thanks in advance,
Adam

•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 9 with the 9.0.1 update).
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
•What were you doing when the problem occurred?
•What other software are you running?
•Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?

USB external HD does not turn off after system shut down

This is not a new issue in Leopard. I had this issue also in Tiger but I never bothered to ask whether there may be a solution to this issue.
I have firewire as well as USB HDs attached to my iMac. If I put my computer to sleep both the firewire and the USB HDs turn themselves off. The HDs come back to live after I reawake the Mac. But if I turn off the iMac then only the firewire HDs turn themselves off. The USB HDs remain turned on.
Is there a setting somewhere that can be changed so that the USB external HDs turn themselves off after system shut down?

Since the issue is not a Leopard issue, and maybe not even a Tiger issue, you might check with the drive manufacturer for some assistance.
Does the drive turn off when you eject it and then pull out the USB plug? That's important.

To prevent application windows (not Finder windows) from reopening on restart, simply close all open applications, then use the Get Info dialog "Locked" checkbox to lock this plist (not the lockfile by the same name),
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.loginwindow.*.plist
where "~" is your home folder, and "*" is a string of characters (12 in my case). This plist is where the System stores "reopen windows" info, so the System can't change/delete it if it is locked. Works fine for me and others.

Satellite A100 - Shut down by itself and will not boot anymore

Satellite A100 PSAA9A-10U038. Laptop shut down by itself whilst in use. No BIOS upgrades or changes. No lights of any kind showing, no POST.
I have tried the AC power adapter on another machine and works fine. Called Toshiba told me power adapter probably at fault, if I wish to have them look will cost $120.
I'm thinking maybe motherboard died? Any help would be appreciated.
Tony

hi Laptop Larry,
try to boot without the batterypack....
can you see the "toshiba screen" while booting?
you can also try to:
- remove hdd
- remove added memory (with no mem the unit should "beep")
- remove odd (cd-drive)
if you cant get the system to boot (able to enter bios, see toshiba logo on screen, no beep)
than it's possible that your mobo died...

Premiere Pro CS4 crashes and system shuts down while rendering

Hi All,
Good morning everyone, my system shuts down while rendering using Adobe media encoder from premiere pro. I have tried the following:
1.Completely removing CS4 and reinstalling.
2. Updating all the video drivers.
3. Re installing the Operating System (XP and Vista)
But the issue persists, i have attached the crash report and any thoughts are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vincent

A number of problems pop out of your DXDIAG:
Both your video driver and your audio driver are more than 3 years old.
Your F drive is slow, because of the fill rate of 90%. You lack other hard disks.
You have Matrox, BlackMagic, Nero, Sony, DivX and other stuff installed. It has been a long time ago that I have seen such a long list of DirectShow filters installed.
Suggestions: Update your drivers, clean up your F drive and add another disk, remove all that Matrox stuff, possibly include BlackMagic and Sony.
What export/encoding settings do you use from what sequence settings?
