irfon ir...@home.com comp sys sgi hardware Hi, I've just purchased an Indy on Sunday, and I'm having a number of problems with it. They're intermittent, and I'm not sure how to classify them. I was wondering if you could just take a moment and let me know if these sound like hardware problems to you.

Is it a software or hardware problem?
Power supplies are very often low quality these days and can't handle the stresses of typical electrical grid fluctuations. Most people who deal with hardware have a spare power supply around just for testing as this is a very common problem. Motherboards typically do not stop power supply fans when they can't post

Another problem is sometimes upon reboot is the hardware identification as above but them the monitor goes into standby (green light showing normal usage turns to yellow), again ah/w reset is required. I have been round the been round the vendors websites for the latest drivers. The one update I am having a problem

Found New Hardware Problem
If you remove the one that does not have a yellow flag next to it, (the driver currently in use) this will often fix the problem, after a reboot. This is only a good solution if the extra devices are identical, and use the same driver as the one that isn't flagged. .. "dazza" <we...@weir1.netlineuk.net> wrote in

hardware Problem?
However, I'm having a very hard time determining what hardware is going bad, due to the nature of the crash. Let me describe the scenario. I was working on the machine, not doing anything out of the ordinary. All of a sudden, my mouse stopped responding. I thought maybe moused had crashed, so I did 'ps -aux |fgrep

Help with diagnosing hardware problem
I'm running WinXP, Athlon 1600+ and my hardware config has been stable for 1 year. Could be the power cable is damaged, or it could be something in the power supply. Does it not power up at all, or do you sometimes get the power leds lighting up, but the machine staying dead? I get the latter problem,

Need help finding "hardware problem"
I suspect something is not working properly until it's warmed up a bit, but what? There's no indication in the event log. I've switched off the re-boot on error feature, but it still re-boots without any error messages being displayed (I've ensured that my swap file is larger than physical memory).

hardware problem
Error message is: Error: could not find libjava.so Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment. In any case, I can run only linux-sun-jdk1[45] and nothing else. compiled package from old P4 system (same sources, same configs, but old single-core cpu) also doesn't work at notebook.

Steve Sullivan, MVP sull...@concentric.net microsoft public mshardware product If it doesn't happen unless you're on the Internet, I would guess a hardware problem. Do you connect with a modem or cable modem or DSL. A NIC could have an IRQ problem with a sound card, but a com port should not.

iBook startup problem . . . hardware related?
Neither would I. Fact is, You've got a hardware problem somewhere, in the video card (ruled out already), RAM (virtually ruled out already), motherboard (not unheard of) or power supply. Of those components, the likelihood of failure would be power supply 99.9%, with all three other components comprising .1%

Intermitent Hardware Problems (at boot)
My soundcard and its original drivers are fine and work correctly and the installation of these apparently new drivers has not affected it in anyway. My problem is I can't stop Windows from finding this non-existent device at start-up! By default, Windows won't install this non-existent hardware because the drivers

hardware question - computer crashes alot
Well, can't tell you for sure WHY it is crashing, but I'd be about 99.99% certain that it is NOT a hardware problem. Hardware problems are almost always fairly random. At best this could be a driver problem, but my guess is that it's either a pure application level problem (ie a problem with UT itself,

hardware or software problem?
So far, only a hardware problem. (there could be software problems as well if you have a machine that long up, that you don't know, if the startup is still current and you fear you won't end with a working machine after a reboot - but that is permanent sysmgmt problem, not a current problem).

Is This Symptoms Of A Hardware Problem Or Something Else?
It turns out the machine had non-ECC RAM in it before. (I didn't build it and couldn't remember what it had installed.) I have a strong feeling this is going to fix the problem. If not, I'll follow up again. John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of

O2 R10K Problem, hardware or software
Its not a good idea to kludge the Win98SE install like that. The install is a pretty decent workout for the hardware and if it doesnt go perfectly, you've got a hardware problem and you I'd try a manual scandisk from whatever you are installing from as a basic check that the drive is actually working properly.

DVD player not working
The latter, of course, I'm hoping is not the problem. Any idea what this trap error is? Could it be a bad video card (mine is a 64 Mb model)? Any help is appreciated. Does the error equate to the article below? This would certainly point to a hardware issues of some sort if so. Are you over-clocking or could the

Hardware problem?
The additional fact that you have not had problems when using the older hardware modem confirms it (28.8 and 33.6 modems were all hardware modems with the exception of IBM's 'Mwave' Digital Single Processor modem that is known to have been a failure). If you want 56k spped in your Pentium 200Mhz I suggest that you

Interrupt timeouts (was: **URGENT** Hardware problem?!)
so my confidence that ping will detect all hardware problems is shaky. It seems most likely to me that some type of intermittent transmission failure through the hub (autosensing failure?, electrical noise?) is a more likely cause, but unless I am the unluckiest Linksys customer of the year, two bad hubs seems
