Guest Posted July 8, 2007 Hi, I have some problem with a GV-2008/16 system that I just built. You can have a look at the pictures and you see what is wrong. (Soory for the poor image quality, but it is mobile phone camera's). The hardware: Intel P4 HT 3GHz CPU Corsair DDR2 RAM 2 * 1GB Ram MSI NEO F V2 Motherboard Gainward Geforce 7300LE VGA Card Samsung S-ATA 250GB 16MB HDD0 NEC DVD Burner S-ATA The Software: Windows XP SP2 English with all Windows Updates Nero OEM Geovision 8.1.1 (Picture 1) Geovision 8.1.2 (Picture 2) I think this have anything to do with heating problems since it is only 1 card(upper 8 channels) that this card is to hot to work 100%. Anyone seen this, and solved it? Best Regards JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) Hi! I posted the article above with 2 images, but they can only be seen from my own computer, why is that? Cheers! JD I have found the solution to this! Log in first and the pictures will reveal! JD Edited July 12, 2007 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kao 0 Posted July 10, 2007 I see the pictures...not sure what to tell ya as I havent run into that problem. The first thing I'd recommend is to unplug all the cameras at the DVR (power too) and start by plugging in one camera at a time...until you see the problems occur. You may be able to pin the problem on a single rogue camera...or it may be a combination of things. You have to start a troubleshooting process with whats available to you. Multimeter? spare known good cameras? power supplies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CollinR 0 Posted July 10, 2007 I think it's the motherboard, whats the full part number? Something doesn't add up, MSI doesn't list a Neo F v2 that supports a P4 on their site. Not saying you don't have one just I'm having trouble finding it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted July 10, 2007 yep, this is all I could find: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=208&maincat_no=1 Also, similar has happened to me when using VGA extenders for the pigtails, so make sure if you are using any of them, take them off for now. Also, whats that BNC strip behind the monitor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 12, 2007 Hi! Thanks for your replies, but I think I need to make things more clear! Motherboard: MSI 945PL NEO-F, "I945PL, Socket-775, ATX ,S-ATAII, GbLAN, 2xDDR2, PCI-Ex16" Manufacture product number: 945PL NEO-F (PCB2.2) VGA Card: Gainward GeForce 7300LE 256MB DDR2, PCI-Express, "BP7300LE-256-TV-DVI" Manufacture product number: 471846200-8552 I have tested this system with many different cameras, 1 camera, 2, and so on up to 16, I also have tested it with DVD player. So it is not the signal into the computer. What happens is that the system with 8.12 software is blue like picture 2. instead of video it gives blue channels. With software 8.11 it works for a while and the it comes up with these grey horizontial lines on channel 1 to 8 (so only 1 of the 2 GV Cards is showing this) channel 9 to 16 is ok. The Motherboard and the VGA card seems to be OK, we tested with same hardware, I have at least sold 20 GV systems last months with the same hardware, but only with Geovision COMBO cards (GV-1120 to GV1480) and not the new GV-2004 and GV-2008 cards. I also have a GV-2004 running on the precis same hardware and is ok. So that is why I am thinking heat/overload problem. Anyone seen this before or how would a compression card behave if it gets to warm, the new Hybrid cards from Geovision is very very hot, if you touch them you could get burned. Since it is only 8 channels showing a problem I dont think it is the VGA Card as I did to begin with. anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted July 12, 2007 in that case, and going by you have used the same hardware before, sounds like a bad card/s. Ofcourse could be a bad mobo also, they do exist I got an older mobo sitting here that works fine as a regular PC, but all the PCI slots are shot! It even recognizes the card in either slot, can load the drivers, but just wont work. if it is an overheating issue, what kind of temp is the location? Do you have case fans and what type of case is it? Can you access the temps from the MSI software? Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
501 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Have you tried removing one card at a time, to elimante it being one bad card? They are stackable so you should be able to test it out with only one card in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
