it threw a machine check exception and then never turned on again. Tried unplugging everything but videocard and 1 stick of ram and reseting bios but I'm getting no life out of it the fans whirl but the screen never comes to life. I've been dealing with months of freezes and crashes where the file system would go read only until the computer was restarted. It's been a long time coming but I think either the cpu or mainboard is cooked. I'm just going to have to buy a new cpu/mainboard with our tax return and hope the rest of my aged parts last

It's been so long since I let myself even think about an upgrade but now that it's forced that's what I'm trying to decide. If I won the lottory it would probably be a pair of xeon 8 core chips and as much ram as I could plug in but for now I'm looking at haswell i7 4770k and maybe ASRock Z87 Extreme6 for a mainboard and I'll reuse everything else picking the mainboard will be the hard part too many options z87 chipset probably asrock that would put me in $500 bucks but if I could find a good sandy or ivy bridge i7 combo for ~300 I'd probably do that instead

Before spending a bunch of money, try replacing the power supply: it's typically the first thing to go. Random freezes and crashes are often symptoms of fluctuating voltages coming from a power supply whose capacitors are shot.

Seconding that. I build cheap computers behind the cutting edge for myself but learned long ago not to cheap out on the power supply. The logical increments doc on the buildapc subreddit has some great hardware recs for getting the most bang for your buck at different budget levels.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
Well Thanks to Bdadd34 for pointing out what I had just assumed hisense would have turned on but didnt

Those having SOD or battery issues can try this. One is for stock and one for taktik based roms. They both have 5th core support turned on, both have wifi mac address fix, and the taktik one has usb storage enabled. I have no way to test usb storage however.

To flash either will require an selinux enabled recovery

My motherboard died last fall, taking with it my PSU and (unbacked-up) HD. I ended up spending a little less than $300 for an ECS socket FM2 motheboard, A9 processor, and 8G RAM at a cat friendly online retailer. The thing is fast, and the AMD graphics actually work with Linux! It is really working well for Android App development. (RAM seems to be the big factor.)

This was, of course, after I had already bought a new PSU, and before I found that the HD was fried.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
I'm a bit puzzled by this. According to the docs I've been reading, 5th core usage is "transparent to the OS" and is enabled automatically when appropriate. And, according to Kconfig, "CPUQuiet" just provides a facility for plugin CPU governor policies. Given that none of the Tegra3 defconfigs enable this feature, I don't see how the two are related. What am I missing?

this touchscreen issue with 3.4.y kernel is killing me
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
Actually You are correct, it is transparent to the OS, not the kernel. I too have notice that no one enables it in the kernel, But there is no denying the results when you do.

It might be that the manufactures read the transparent to the OS and thought that they did not have to do anything because it was "transparent" to the OS. And with cpuquiet turned on it really is transparent to android.

check out http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2012/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/cpuquiet.pdf

some good reading, but a little frightening because it sure looks like the 5th core is the only one that can really wake the device from a deep sleep. Also there it does not look like anyway for the kernel to switch from the main 4 core cpu cluster to the second low power cpu without cpuquiet. But again it is all done with cpuquiet in the kernel completely transparent to and hard to even detect from android.

From the Screwing Around Department...

I had to pull /system/build.prop while in CWM and add persist.service.adb.enable=1 for ADB to see the device. I also changed persist.sys.root_access= from '1' to '3' to give ADB root access.

For those who want to try this and are not familiar with the 'input' command, here's a cheat sheet. You can either run adb shell then enter these directly, or run them from your nix/win shell by prefixing them with adb shell. To get some help, just enter input by itself.

input tap 700 1200 - tap on the OK button on CM's annoying intro screens

input keyevent POWER - turn the screen back on when it goes off

input swipe 400 800 700 800 - unlock the screen

input tap 400 1150 - display the app drawer

input tap 200 500 - open Settings

input keyevent BACK - go Back

Yeah, aside from Google now which is a known pita, it is not app related. wlan_rx_wake caused lack of deep sleep all day while I was at work. Related thread below.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tomkatt:
Agreed. I had battery issues, but only for about two days after I flashed, I assume it was inaccurate readings. My battery drain fluctuates, but since I primarily use the tablet as an emulation device for gaming and output to HDMI, my 15-18% drain per hour (according to BetterBatteryStats) seems about normal. When not outputting to TV and just idle or general use, it only loses between 1.5% to 9% an hour. If I leave it unplugged and don't use it, it deep sleeps normally and drains from 2% to less than 1% per hour, depending on wakelocks (if I get a lot of email over that time, for example).

---------- Post added at 04:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------

I think it has DSP not working is more to do with our audio not rerouting and the fact that for some reason our build uses a different set of codec's and a different set of libs to decode media with. Stock uses libnvomx group and our builds seem to stay away from the libnv group

I had a throttling problem on my rig when running prime95. I also thought it was the CPU problem but it came down to lack of VMR cooling. I notice you have little or no vmr cooling on your rig.
