975x Platinum PowerUp Dual Boot Issue

Hello -
I have a 975x Plat. PowerUp and dual boot Linux and Windows XP. This process works fine on BIOS 7.1, but fails to boot the Windows disk on BIOS 7.4 and newer. The disk still works, it just can't be started by the Linux bootloader (grub).
I spent a lot of time working on this as a grub issue, but in the end the only thing that affects the problem is revision of the BIOS I am using. (e.g., flash 7.4, Windows does not boot, reboot and flash 7.1, Windows boots).
I also get an issue where I cannot eject the CD drive on warm boot under the same conditions (like a BIOS boot disc, or a Windows boot disc). Works fine on 7.1 not on 7.4 or newer.
I have all 4 ports on the ICH7 controller used for hard drives, and the JMicron controller used for a SATA DVD drive. The issue occurs in IDE or AHCI mode (currently using AHCI mode).
Are these known problems? Are there known fixes? I would like to use a newer BIOS because I have an MS USB keyboard that does not work in DOS mode with BIOS < 7.4 (need keyboard to select OS at boot time).
Thanks,
Chris

  • 975X Platinum PowerUp - Windows will not Restart - only shutdown

    I've had a MSI 975x Platinum Powerup for several weeks now and have a really annoying problem.
    When booted and in Windows the system is pretty stable. I've even had some success at overclocking (up to 333 with an E6400). However, even when not overclocked it I select Windows Restart the machine will shutdown but will not POST on the restart. The machine just sits there with no video signal.
    however if I do Windows Shutdown and the physically power the machine back on, everything seems okay.
    This maybe isnt a big deal, but is very irritating. I've seen some passing reference to other members of the forums that have a similar sounding problem, but there are no details.
    Could anyone tell me if this is a known issue, and whether there is a solution or not.
    Is it the case that only some people have this problem or do all 975x users have it?
    I've tried MSI support who just responded with a generic 'have you checked x,y,z' message.
    have detailed some of the other components of my machine below - let me know if you need anything more
    Thanks in advance,
    James.

    Hi, The only thing I need to change in the bios is to turn off 'spread spectrum' and run the memory @2.2v. I have found turning off speedstep and C1E made no difference for me. At 375 if you run the memory with the 1:1 divider it will be running @750 so you can manually select 4,4,4,12 for the memory timings. This will not help the restart problem though.
    Having said that, any bios after 7.2 will alter your manual memory settings and if you enter the above ( GeILs recommended settings) it will change them to 4,5,6,12.......... Another bios quirk I'm afraid!
    To get around this you can go back to bios 7.1 which leaves these settings alone. What I have found works well is to leave the divider option on 'AUTO' . This applies the 1:1.25 ratio, and leaves memory timings on 4,4,4,12 with the ram running @875 when on 350 FSB. I run this setting @ 375, but I put the memory timings on 'SPD' as the ram is then running @938. You can run up to 2.3v through this ram according to OCUK where I bought the memory which may help you get up to these speeds or tighten the timings a bit.
    380 is about the fastsest mine will boot at and adding more vcore (up to 1.4v) made no difference to this. I have tried upping the pcie voltage (which is the chipset voltage on this board) to 1.6v, but this didn't help either! Some people seem to get over 400FSB easily and others seem to have hit the same wall as me. People who can attain the high FSB speeds don't seem to suffer from the restart problems either! WEIRD!!
    Let us know how how you get on.

    i dont see the card in bootup, already installed bios 7.7
    tried the card in an other sytem works fine
    also installed the latest firmware on the arc-1220 card
    anyone have an idea which bios i should try

    can you see the card in windows if you boot off the on-board controller?
    I know Intel boards are picky with RAID controller cards.  If the Intel RAID is enabled then a lot of add-on cards won't work.  Also, even with Intel RAID disabled some still won't work.  I had to flash my SiI 3132 RAID card to non-RAID for it to work as a boot device.
    I've had my system not even post at all when both RAIDS are enabled.  But if I get a post and it boots from the Intel side, it always sees the add-on RAID card.
    Also, do you have the latest BIOS?  Hopefully that will fix the issue.
    Myself, I have the ARC-1210 controller and have NOT had any issues on my 975, 965, P35, or X38 boards.  However, only the X38 board has allowed my card to run at full speed.  The other chipsets run the 2nd PCIe X16 slot at only X4.  It seems it's too slow for the controller to work properly, or there is some issues still.  But my X38 boards run great.  I get over 300MB/s with my 4 x 150MB Raptors in RAID0.
    Good luck

  • Does the 975x platinum PE support boot from OCZ revodrive?

    Hi all!
    Does anyone know if the 975x platinum powerup edition motherboard supports an OCZ revodrive x2 on its second long scale PCIe slot and also boot from it?

    The board is going to be 5 years old this year and the RevoDrive is a pretty new piece of hardware.  That basically means three things:
    1.) Active BIOS Development was stopped about 2 years ago.  Whatever the case is with the RevoDrive, there will most likely not be a BIOS Fix in case any issues should surface.
    2.) MSI has most likely never tested an OCZ RevoDrive 2 on this mainboard is most probably not going to do so in the future (they won't dig every old board out of the archive to check compatibility with newer devices -> that kind of job is to time consuming & would never be finished)
    3.) The number of users that still have this mainboard in active use, actually tried a RevoDrive and are therefore able to share their experiences is rather low.
    Basically, your only chance is that a user that fits into the category outlined under 3.) finds this thread by accident and is willing to provide feedback.  If that does not happen, you are basically on your own.  Test it and see for yourself.  That would be my advice. It should actually work.  The RevoDrive 2 is first and foremost a Silicon Image RAID Controller which dates back to 2005/06 and it is therefore rather old itself.

  • A few questions about Memory and Power Supply for MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edit

    Bought this Motherboard: MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edition
    975X Platinum V.2(7246-020)
    I have a P4 CPU HT in it with 2 512mb sticks of DDR2 memory (533mhz).
    I am upgrading to a Core 2 Duo 6600 CPU which has a 1066mhz FSB
    What memory speed should I purchase to achieve the fastest bus speed without overclocking???
    I get confused as my current memory is 533 which I guess on a Pentium 4 with HT cuts the FSB speed in 1/2 to 266mhz.
    Any recommendations?
    Do I need to buy Dual Channel or can I just buy 2 sticks?
    Thank you
    Peter

    Great info again guys!
    I'll stay away from OCZ (I read it's more for overclockers).
    @DryHeat:
    I watched your sig, great setup! I'm planning for about the same setup (MSI 975x PUE, P180, C2D, ...). But will try a Scythe Ninja for CPU cooler and use an MSI graphic card (maybe 2 cards for 4 monitors in total).
    Is your setup silent or just quiet? Makes a big difference for me.
    What would you change now? And what is the most noisy component?
    Sorry for all the questions but I'm not an expert and by budget does not permit me from making any mistakes.
    The case fans create the most noise.  When they are all on "low" I an hardly hear them and have to shake the mouse to see if it's on, but on medium it sounds like a "standard" computer.  Not terrible, but not quite.  On high they are down-right loud.

  • 975X Platinum PowerUp compatible GFX card

    Hello,
    instead of upgrading the whole pc i decided to upgrade just the graphics adapter. It is when i realised, that i.e. a nvidia gtx 285 does not fit into the pci-e slot, when all the sata ports are in use (i can't remove the sata connectors, as they are all needed, so i didn't check whether the gtx285 fits in with no sata connector)
    The card right now in the pc is a msi 8800gtx, which has almost the same length as the gtx285, but lacks the end of the big exit fan.
    My question is, can anyone recommend a new and good grapghics adapter, that will fit into the 975X Platinum PowerUp edition, when all sata slots are in use.
    Thanks:)

    Have you looked into SATA connectors that connect at 90°?

  • Inconsistent grub error 17, dual booting issues

    Hello,
    I've recently installed Arch as a second OS on my computer, but I'm having a bit of trouble when it comes to booting it. I'm a bit new to Linux in general, but I've tried to research the problem, and seem to have run into a wall. Any comments, insight, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Preemptive apologies for being windy, I'm trying to give as much relevant info as possible here
    ****************Here are the details:******************
    -1st hard drive (sda): Windows 7
    -2nd hard drive (sdb): Arch
    Partitioning scheme:
    sdb1 = boot, about 100Mb, ext2
    sdb2 = swap, ~2gig
    sdb3 = root, ~20gig, ext3
    sdb4 = home, the rest (HD is 500gb total), ext3
    -grub is installed on the MBR of sdb
    -windows has no problems booting independently (when i disconnect my second hard drive), so sda hasn't been touched at all
    in grub's menu.lst:
    arch has root set to (hd1,0)
    windows 7 has rootnoverify set to (hd0,0), with chainloader +1 after.
    **************The issue:********************
    when choosing to boot arch from grub, (this is booting off of the second hard drive), i get an error 17, saying the filesystem is unrecognized and the partition type is 0x7.
    if i then enter into the command line mode for grub, and try
    find /grub/stage1
    it spits out (hd0,0), which is incorrect. it should be (hd1,0) since my boot partition is the first partition on the second hard drive, and (hd0,0) is an entirely different hard drive with nothing but windows on it.
    An interesting complication:
    If I boot the USB iso image of arch I used to originally install it, and I highlight the option "boot existing OS", press tab to change hd0 0 to hd1 0, it loads up Grub, and from there on Grub boots perfectly fine to Arch - implying that at the very least Arch installed on the hard drive properly. Also, Grub run in this fashion seems to realize that (hd1,0) is ext2.
    After booting arch as in the previous paragraph^ (note, this is arch as installed on the hard drive, not the liveCD version), i run:
    grub
    grub> find /grub/stage1
    and it replies that stage1 is in hd(1,0), which is where it should be.
    Googling suggests my partitions are somehow messed up, but I'm not completely sure of that. Booting from the USB image and running
    fdisk -l
    seems to give the right partition order and sizes.
    However, there could be a problem stemming from how I partitioned the second hard drive in the first place: it's an Advanced Format drive, and using Western Digital's guidelines - http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5655 - i ran:
    parted -a optimal /dev/sdb
    and created my partitions, then used the Arch installer to establish their file systems and do the rest.
    I don't have any concrete ideas about what's going on, except that Grub is somehow having trouble mounting/recognizing the file system when I try to run it from the MBR directly.
    Once again, sorry for such a long post, and any help at all is greatly appreciated.

    Ok, so I've tried to reconfigure my grub/menu.lst as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pe … t_managers .
    When I try to boot after that, it claims that the device /dev/disk/by-uuid/*the uuid i got for my boot partition* cannot be found.
    This next paragraph might be a bit of a facepalm moment; in retrospect, it seems like it should be obvious that this would happen (like lifeafter2am is saying, my drives are getting switched at boot up):
    After booting up grub in a bunch of different configurations, I've managed to determine that what my computer does is this:
    - In the bios, I changed the boot order to be USB -> 2nd hard drive (the one with arch on it) -> first hard drive (since I use a USB for a liveCD, and the 2nd hard drive's MBR has grub on it, which i want to use to dual boot both arch and windows, windows being on the first hard drive).
    So every time I insert the usb, it changes what grub perceives to be hd0 and hd1. When I insert the usb, the usb becomes hd0, and the other drives are renumbered. When I try to boot without the USB, having the BIOS boot from my second hard drive makes the second hard drive become hd0.
    What with ^ going on, I simply went in to the grub/menu.lst and changed arch's (hd1,0) to (hd0,0), and now it recognizes that (hd0,0) is indeed an ext2 fs, partition type 0x83, etc.
    The problem now is: no matter what I try to set the root in menu.lst to be, whether it's sdb1, sda1, some uuid label, grub starts booting and then says error: unable to mount the real root device, and dumps me into a shell with a good luck message.
    Is there a way to figure out what i should set grub's root in menu.lst to be, from the arch iso on my USB, keeping in mind the fact that inserting the USB renumbers the hard drives?
    I don't wanna make the analogy to quantum mechanics, but this almost seems like an observer disturbing the results type of thing >_<

  • Dual boot issues with P67A-GD55 (B3)

    Set up a dual boot and from a cold start now the system boots directly into the default OS even though I have it set to display the options for 15 seconds. When this happens I do a soft reset and then the 2 OS choices are there. This is on the 1.C BIOS (latest). Would expect to always see the 2 OS choices on cold boot as well.

    yes, I have several HDDs and an SSD. The 2 OSs are on the SSD. The original OS was on the SSD then I created free space on the SSD and installed another OS. I set the original OS as the default and the newer OS as the secondary. The SSD is now and always has been the primary boot disk in BIOS. Again, it's an easily repeatable issue, upoon cold boot there is no option of OS displayed, it just boots right into the default OS. If I reboot then I see the 2 OSs.

    Do you have more than one hard drive ? Did your boot priority change in the BIOS after your BIOS flash ? If so, change it back to the HDD/partition where you initially created the dual boot.

  • Unable to run 800Mhz memory on 975X Platinum PowerUp

    hi,
    I can't get my MSI board to recognize my 800mhz memory, it runs at 667mhz although it's 2x1GB Corsair XMS2-6400 4-4-4-12 2.1v. If I run CPU-Z, the SPD shows everything correctly, but I had to change the timing values manually, it defaults to 5-5-5-15 if I select "by SPD" in the BIOS. I'm running version 7.2 of the BIOS.
    I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to overclocking and tweaking BIOS settings, I just want it run at the correct speed and preferably not overclock at all.

  • Dual boot issues

    I've been attempting to get up to speed on labview, labview RT, the PXI (8106), and getting the PXI to dual boot labview RT and windows XP. Question here is only about dual booting. I have the PXI set up with a fat32 partition physically before (C the NTFS partition that windows XP is installed on (E. I installed windows, worked great. I then tried to boot in to labview RT/communicate with the PXI (booting into RT using the bios software switch). No dice since no RT software was installed. So I used a USB memory stick and the software from MAX to install RT on to the PXI. Worked, I can communicate with the PXI, awesome. Today I wanted to boot back in to windows. Go in to the bios, set it to boot windows/other OS . . . and it boots in to labview RT. Dammit. What did I do wrong? What can I do to correct this? Please tell me I don't have to re-do the windows install. It will be my fourth time and installing all that NI software takes a painful amount of time!
    Thanks,
    Chris

    If you attempt to fix your master boot record, here's a couple other things to keep in mind:
    1. When you used the RT USB key, did you select the Format option to only update the 1st available partition or format the entire disk?  Gerardo's suggested approach will of course only work if you did the former.
    2. If you don't have any success with FixMBR since it is a slightly more complicated disk configuration with two partitions, there is another approach you can try if you meet the following requirements:
     (a) You originally set up two partition configuration on your disk with the  NI OS Recovery media
     (b) You have another disk of the exact same type that you are willing and able to erase.
     (c) You only did the partital format of the original drive from the RT USB key (see item #1 above)
     (d) You have a bootable USB key (see note below)
    If so, you could do the following:
    1. Put the 2nd disk on your PXI-8106
    2. Run the OS installer, and configure it exactly as you did with the first disk.
    3. You should now have a disk with a master boot record that exactly matches the one you'd like on your original controller.
    4. Boot to DOS from your USB key and run MBRWizard to save a copy of the master boot record (http://mbrwizard.com)
    5. Put the original disk back on your PXI-8106, boot to DOS again, and run MBRWizard to restore that saved MBR file to update the master boot record on the original disk.
    It sounds pretty involved but really can be done in a few minutes because for step 2 -you don't need to fully install the OS.  We're only interested in getting a copy of the master boot record, which is one of the first things that the installer will configure.  Once you see the installer copying files to the disk, you can stop the system and proceed to step 3.
    Note on DOS-bootable USB key: If you don't have a DOS-bootable USB key, there is a variety of ways to set one up but a relatively easy one is to grab this disk diagnostic tool from NI: Fujitsu Disk Diagnostic.  Careful, once you run the tool, IT WILL ERASE YOUR ENTIRE USB KEY.  Technically it is for setting up a disk diagnostic, but you should be able to copy the mbr wizard tool to the key and also run that from DOS.  Delete the autoexec.bat file that gets created on the USB key to prevent the Fujitsu tool from running automatically.  You could for example re-use the RT USB key you previously configured, although it will be wiped and new files put on it.
    Last thing: If you don't have a second drive available, please post the exact details on the drive you do have and the specifics on how you originally partitioned the drive (what tools, what partition sizes).  I might be able to help you out and create the MBR file for you, so you would only need to worry about step 5 above (and setting up a DOS bootable USB key).
    Cheers,

  • Dual boot issue on Satellite A200 - xp keeps freezing or crashing

    Well being trying to install xp along side my Win7 installation (dual boot), but xp keeps freezing or crashing.
    Ive made a few slipstream xp discs with sata drivers.
    Still wont install proper.
    So i tried install win7 on the second partition and that will install but is very slow and hangs for ages.
    Im sure i got right sata drivers.(intel matrix storage manager from toshiba).
    Can anyone shed some light?
    i have toshiba Satellite a200

    Hi
    If you use SATA drivers then the SATA mode option in BIOS should be set to AHCI.
    If you dont use SATA drivers then you have to set to compatible mode.
    Here a nice description how to add SATA drivers

    Clearly says 1.95 - 2.1Volts ; Standard ddr2 voltage is 1.8 volts - not enough
    Put VDimm to 2 Volts in bios...

  • K8N SLi Platinum USB keyboard boot issues

    Hello, I have a K8N SLi Platinum connected via an Aten US221 USB switch (http://www.aten-usa.com/?product&cat=804&Item=US221) and a Kensington USB hub to a Logitech MX518 mouse and a Logitech multimedia pro keyboard. I use this to connect the same two input devices to two computers and toggle. Previously I used a keyboard to each, with a Dell PS/2 used on the MSI motherboard.
    The problem is that the MSI motherboard fails to detect the keyboard every other boot or so. It doesn't matter if I unplug the Aten switch, the USB hub or even connect it directly to the USB root hub. The only thing that solves it to restart the MSI computer over and over until it decides to start working. And I need the keyboard since I have a bootloader (GRUB) that I select which OS to boot with. The switch and keyboard works without a hitch on an older Dell computer which is also connected in tandem.
    Since I need both mouse and keyboard on a single wire I cannot use a USB-to-PS/2 connector. I've found several posts here which suggests this motherboard is buggy, if that's the case shouldn't MSI issue some sort of BIOS patch?
    Sincerely, Martin "xarragon" Persson

    Might work.
    I don't like the inconsistency you describe: working sometimes and after a lot of reboots. Would you say your system parts, please. Troubleshooting this in your end must include finding a situation where it never works, and when it always work. For example, if you don't have the mouse connected at all, if you don't use the hub, etc.
    Not saying motherboards can't be damaged, specially port end, but the hub thing is a more likely culprit.
