790GX-G65 AMD AHCI - Windows 7 file copy freeze

Something very weird is going on with my Windows 7 64-bit Operating System which has just started, and I wanted to see if any of you are experiencing the same issue. The computer has started to freeze when I copy very large files 1GB+ to a USB flash drive, or from one SATA hard drive to another SATA hard drive. About two weeks ago, it would copy fine. Nothing has been installed in between then and now, unless it is Windows Updates.
After having my computer freeze 6+ times, I decided to uninstall the AMD SATA/AHCI driver. I rebooted windows, and now using the generic Microsoft Windows AHCI drivers it copies fine. I reinstalled the AMD Drivers just to see if the drivers had become corrupt, but now it completely freezes using the drivers. The 790GX-G65 motherboard has worked flawlessly for the past four to five months without a problem (using the AMD AHCI drivers). I am concerned it is a Windows Update, but of course it could be a slight possibility that it is the motherboard itself (even though it is only 5 months old). It froze one day for no reason, wouldn't boot up, and eventually started working again.
I did some research, and it seems like others are having this same exact problem, only they were using Nvidia Chipset motherboards. Microsoft even release a hotfix to fix the I/O copy error freeze for Nvidia motherboards.
It is very frustrating that this had started happening within the week, and I don't know the root cause for the drivers to "suddenly" stop working. Have any of you had this problem? Heard of this problem? Or know if it is a common issue?

Hi Mark,
Thank you for the suggestions.
I swapped the 460W CoolerMaster PSU for a Corsair GS600 unit with the following specifications: +3.3V~25A, +5V~25A, +12V~48A (576W), -12V~0.8A, +5Vsb~3A. I'm using both 24pin JPWR and 4 pin JPWR2 connectors to provide power to the 890GXM-G65/(MS-7642 ver1), as instructed in the documentation, and as previously configured with the CoolerMaster 460W PSU. I have tried 3 independent power cables, and different power outlets in addition to swapping PSUs.
The system freezes in the same manner, on the same 'Setup is starting...' portion of the Windows 7 installer. This time, a single, short 'Beep' from the motherboard. (Same type of beep you'd hear after a successful POST and boot.) Subsequent retries did not produce any beeps from the motherboard.
I have tried booting various Live CDs in 32bit/64bit flavors and no success. (Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10, 10.04) I continue to disable various on-board components and am running with a single PS/2 keyboard plugged into the system for installation, but still no success.
To test the system further, as recommended, I swapped the 1TB Western Digital with a known good 250GB Western Digital unit from another machine. The drive is detected in the BIOS with no problems, but the installer continues to freeze. The 250GB drive was taken from an XP based system that is able to read/boot from the drive without issues.
Good suggestions, but I continue to freeze at the same point in the Windows & Ubuntu installers. If the CPU was somehow damaged, my thought is that the machine itself would fail to POST. Is that a fair assumption? Could there be something wrong with the video configuration in the BIOS that is causing the OS to lock when detecting hardware? I have set the primary adapter to 'Internal', UMA+Sideport, and AUTO for memory settings.
If you or others had any additional suggestions, I'd appreciate the input. Thanks in advance.

Windows 2008 R2 file copy freezing

I have two windows 2008 R2 64 bit servers. I'm trying to copy a large amount of files (over 1000/as little as 500 mg) and at about 30-40% it just hangs. waited overnight a few times but no change. The nic is set to 1 gig full auto and verified that
the port is as well.
Nic is a Broadcom BCM5709c NetXtreme IIGigE.
I have disabled IPV4 large send offload and IPV4 checksum offload.
IPV6 is disabled on the cards already.

How you are copying these files ? is it normal copy / paste or Robocopy ?
For larger files, You have to user Robocopy as best practice,
Please go through below Robocopy library link and complete your task using Robocopy

MSI 790GX-G65 Hangs when loading windows

Specs:
Corsair 650W PSU (New)
MSI 790GX-G65
AMD Phenom II - Deneb 810 2.6 GHZ with XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 Heatsink(New)
GeForce 260gx(Not in board at the moment)
4x1gb SuperTalent 1333ghz DDR3
500GB Seagate (used to be an external)
64GB Crucial SSD (New, no OS)
I bought my computer in July 2009 and have had a reoccurring problem where, at any random point, my computer would completely lock up causing me to force shut down.
At first I thought it was a power supply so I replaced that and the problem persisted. Usually I would be on my computer, it would hang and I would restart it and everything would be fine for the rest of the day. Some days it wouldn't hang at all and run perfectly fine. I thought that maybe it was a heat issue so I've had my case open with a box fan sucking air out it. I just recently bought a new heat sink for my CPU to sure up any doubt.
Last weekend, I attempted to do some more troubleshooting and updated my BIOS, but my computer really didn't like it. Now it will not boot Windows after POST. I cleared CMOS and tried again but the same issue would occur. I would get into the Windows loading screen and the computer would lock up or it would make it to the login screen but would restart.
I considered the possibility that my HDD, being an old external, might have been the problem so I just recently purchased a new SSD. Last night I plugged in the SSD and in my attempt to load Windows on it, it would completely lock up the same exact way. I've narrowed it down to either being the SATA cables or the SATA connectors to the motherboard.
The two SATA cables that I am using are a bit old. One of them I found in my cable drawer and don't know how old it is or what the gb/s rating on it is. The other cable came stock with the MoBo and I've been using that one since the rig was built. I am going to buy some new SATA cables tonight and try again, but would it be that the motherboard SATA connectors are faulty or something? I was about to buy a new Motherboard but this one is POSTing fine and reading all of my hardware. What other issues could there be? Any help would be very much appreciated.

I was reading about how to install the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<.
It's saying in step 3:
Quote
If your MSI Retail Board is properly detected and you have pressed the >OK< button in the message box, an option box will pop up that allows you to choose between three different operating modes.
I came across this FAQ:
Quote
->Q: Can I prepare USB stick in another mainboard?
A: * If you want to use method 3 it will not be possible, since Tool will detect different MSI board which uses a corresponding different BIOS.
* If your other mainboard is retail MSI, yes you can.
My current system is unusable which will mean that I'll have to install and create the USB flasher on a laptop that doesn't have a MSI MoBo. Will it still work?

790GX-G65 worst experience of all time

So here i was an avg gamer. The only game i ever played was Arma 2 That game was CPU intensive and could only max out at 31-35 avg FPS.
My build specs were:
MSI 975x platinum edition
core 2 duo E6700 (2.66ghz OC to 3.10ghz)
4gb ddr 2 ram 667mhz
maxtor 250GB
Antec Neo Power Blue 650 watt PSU
ATI HD 4870 (Palit sonic dual edition) 512MB
My friend showed off his gaming rig. 4gb ddr3 and AMD phenom II x4 945.. His benchmarks in Arma 2 were great. I had just enough money. so i sold my Mobo, cpu, and ram and bought the following:
MSI 790GX-G65
AMD phenom II x4 945 (95watt) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103809&cm_re=phenom_II_945-_-19-103-809-_-Product)
and G-skill 2x1GB DDR3 1333mhz
500GB Samsung spinpoint f3
I removed cleaned and properly installed everything... And this has been my experience so far....
tried to boot from my old maxtor first just to test out my new cpu's power. had to change a few boot settings. when i got onto the logon screen BAM a gfx glitch (pink looked like a thumb print) and pc was completely unresponsive...
i thought it was my gfx card (i had just rma'd the thing because of bad memory problems) so i couldnt believe it.. i quickly shut off to prevent further damage... to my surprise when i rebooted to bios, no gfx glitch. i figured it was the drivers.. my friend suggest i install windows 7 on my new spinpoint and start fresh..
I spend 3 hours trying to install windows 7 because the disc would never finnish. it would freeze after the logo... i went back to bios changed a few things unplugged devices... finally i thought it was the new ram.. tried out both ram chips individually in dimm1 and dimm2 one by one to no avail. windows memory diagnoistics reported no problems. We finally managed to load it after we found out the OC switch on the mobo was on.. weird the CPU was running at 3.30ghz instead 3.0. But when the completing installation stage started windows the pc would just randomly reboot also causing the installation to be corrupted forcing me to try again and again and again
So i put vista in, it finally installed but it would crash when "adjusting windows performance". This told me it was a hardware problem... me and my friend narrowed it down to the cpu/mobo. What fixed my problem was lowering the multiplier from default (x15) to x13. To our surprise i could finally logon to the new windows. My friend told me to instantly download prime95 and run a test to see what was going on.. Also to check CPU-Z and temps
Almost instantly after hitting the start button in prime95 the pc crashed. So fast it felt like the start button was more like a "shutdown" button :O
CPU-Z said that the cpu voltage was at 1.456 and avg around there... He told me it shouldnt be like that since his 945 avgs out at 1.3 or less
Changing the bios "CPU Voltage" would make the pc not startup.. (screen would stay black) i couldn't even get into the bios. So i had to "clr CMOS" and try again.... and again.... and not ONE setting i tried for the "CPU voltage" was successful...
Finally i installed windows 7 and would you look at that.. it installed. But anything higher than x13 muiltiplier would cause crashing in any programs... even sometimes starting CPU-Z would crash.. watching 1080P videos would crash... everytime everytime...
and windows was so unresponsive at times with these weird stutters that lasted 1-3 seconds every 5 seconds. It was ridiculous. Why should i have to underclock my new cpu from the default values to 2.6 just to start my OS..
We Tried everything buying new thermal paste reapplying thermal paste (6 times) changing coolers, i bought the best paste out there (artic silver 5) nothing...
Finally changing the mobo to optimized defaults again and going directly to the "CPU Voltage" setting changing it to 1.284V my mobo booted without having to clear cmos. BUT HERE IS THE SHOCKER: temps where at 85C-90C range like 200F !!!!! i couldnt believe it.. so i shut off instantly and clrd cmos..temps dropped down again to the low to high 40's.
Here i am now.. with an underclocked overvoltaged phenom II x4 945 edition barely able to run windows. My bios is updated to the latest wich is 4.10 and i dont know what else to do. Faulty CPU? doubt it. All i know so far is that my mobo is just sending waay to much power to my cpu causing the quick overheat and shut off. I've spent 5 miserable days since i got my new build trying to just run the default values. NOthing... so i'm contacting you msi guys and the people on these forums to please guide me. my last 5 days have been hell..
Anyways my friend says my new cpu is not on the mobo support list which is true, but the other 945 is. not the new revision i have so maybe thats also a contributing factor....
O and another weird thing.. sometimes i can play arma 2.. performance is not too good because of the hiccups, but it doesnt crash my pc.. Except when i tried to raise the cpu/fsb multiplier up to x14 it would crash sometimes.
ANYWAYS please help me figure this out i dont understand all these experiences dont make sense to me.

Well, this is the motherboard i have:
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1739&maincat_no=1
I dont know how to check if its a "winkie" board.?
Anyways. I can confirm that flashing the bios back to 4.0 did nohing for me.. Exact same results. I also changed my PSU and got exact same problem.
So so far its not:
Ram
PSU
Cooler (i'm pretty sure its not the cooler because i went from my antec cooler to reapplying paste on my antec to stock cooler to reapplying paste on stock cooler twice. After 4-5 times playing with the coolers and paste i'm pretty sure its not the Cooler/paste causing the issue.
Quote
And 97C isn't possible, the board should shutdown at about 70C.
I gurantee you this is what the motherboard monitoring stated.
yes 45C isnt good i know that. And i cant seem to do anything about it. The weird thing is the first test run the temperature was at high 30's second try with reapplied paste bios said temperature was at the low 20's (21-23C) But as i booted OCCt temperatures readings said 70C which made no sense to me.
So i finally put the stock cooler and so far all the readings have been in the 43-47C range. Except for that one time i changed the "Cpu Voltage (V)" to 1.2840 which btw was the highest setting possible in the bios and caused my readings to go off the chart at 97C range. I can confirm doing this over and over will give me same results. All the higher settings are in red or "Not recommended" and also force the mobo to not boot. 1.2840V is the only setting that i can change aside from auto that will alow my mobo to reboot. And its also the highest thats not in the red zone
I'm now able to get on with you guys because the multiplier is at 13X and temps in OCCT AND mobo are conistent with one another reading at 45-47C.
My friend is suggesting me to get a new mobo but before i do i want to know if it's really the motherboard or the cpu... I bought this cpu last week and i can still RMA it if thats the problem.

790GX G65 Firewire and USB problem

I've m-audio firewire 410 sound card and cubase5 (has a usb dongle to work)
before this mainboard I was using K9A2 platinium V2 and Amd 9950 cpu everything was working perfectly
now I've upgraded my board (as you see) and bought a AMD 955
now when I install the sound card driver it's making somekind of digital distortion and also the sound is moving to faster or slower (all the time) so I'M hearing funny voices
The Cubase5 Usb dongle is having some connection problem. It force me to change the usb port everytime I start cubase
I've updated my bios but guess what.... They're still with me.
Please some help
I'm using Vista home premium 32, I've tried it on Xp and windows 7 64 RC7100 the resoult is always the same

Quote from: Bas on 19-July-09, 16:39:47
Are the energy settings properly configured for USB and the CPU?
Could be Cubase doesn't like Cool & Quite?
Can Cubase work with quad-core?
Can the powersupply handle everything?
What is in your system, we don't know much: >>Posting Guide<<
Read the guide this time.
My system is
MSI 790GX G65 , AMD 955 BE, Corsair 1600 MHZ 4 GB (TW3X4G1600C9D) , 6 HDD (one is IDE), ZOTAX 9800 GTX+, 750 watt PSU(corsair TX750W)
I've some pci card for my music buss. but i didn't install them yet. Not before everything works fine
Cubase works fine with quad core , my ex-system was a quad core.
the problem with cubase comes this way. I turn on the pc (dongle is on all the time) start cubase and get the message "Connection problem with dongle change the usb port) after I change it everthing works fine. infact I'm not making cubase problem a big deal. my real problem is firewire.
About the energy settings, I didn't change anything on mainboard, why do I need to change the power settings for usb? aren't they standart?

790GX-G65: Freeze, IDE issue

Hi,
my 790GX-G65 worked well for ~2 weeks. Problems started then.
1. For some reason, no IDE devices are shown nor accessible in Win XP (SP3, fresh install). This occurred after BIOS update from 1.1 to 1.3. BUT the BIOS sees the IDE devices, and I can boot Linux from that CD drive.
I can see the AMD PCI IDE controller (v5.1.0.8) and also the secondary channel (MS driver, v. 5.1.2600.2180) with settings for DMA etc. The HDD is master, CD/DVD is slave.
Going back to BIOS 1.1 does not fix this problem.
The ATI SB driver (Catalyst 9.6) was installed, but after de-installation it is the same: no IDE drives.
2. More headaches:
Since 1 week the system freezes randomly, when running BOINC (at ~75% load, 2 cores). Today it has not freezed, BOINC was off.
Other symptoms:
-prime95 states calculation errors
-memtest86 sees some errors, but could also run for some hours without error
So, I changed the mem settings to 2T: Freezes. Changed CL from 9 to 10: Freezes.
Memory is GEiL 4GB, 9-9-9 (2 modules, in slots 1&2), Value PC3-10600(DDR3-1333). It is not listed in the provided PDF for the board, but it should work.
CPU is Phenom II 705e (3 cores).
The board is not OC. All settings in BIOS is on defaults (except some settings mentioned above). QnC is on.
All is as it should be (HT speed 2000, bus speed 200, CPU 2500, core voltage jumps up and down)
PSU is a new Enermax 82+, 385W. Should be sufficient; I am using the onboard grafics (sideport only).
All temperatures are mostly below 40 deg C, and currently 27 deg C, without BOINC.
Any ideas? What to return? Board? Mem? CPU?
What else could I try?
ALL hints welcome...
BR, cooper2k9.

And who created IO-meter and AHCI?
I believe the same company that pushes it.
As all other benchmarks show better results for IDE, test with ATTO or HDTune.
Hi Bas,
I am aware that intel made IOmeter. And supports AHCI.
Quote from: Bas on 11-July-09, 00:47:47
That's not a lot, should be way above 40MB/sec.
I don't care about numbers, just directions - in this case.
Results of HDTune Pro, on my C:\ drive (500GB ST, NTFS), results for read access:
AHCI:IDE
Min Transfer [MB/s] 53.3:19.8
Max Transfer [MB/s] 109.7:109.6
Avg Transfer [MB/S] 86.2:82.8
Access time [ms] 12.5:12.5
Burst rate [MB/s] 132.7:125.0
CPU usage [%] 8.2:11.1
Pretty accurate tool, imho!
The tendency of both lines over the disk are quite the same, except more spikes downwards with IDE.
CPU usage surprises me.
Have a nice evening
cooper2k9.
BTW: My system seems stable now, with RAM speed @ 1066MHz.

Looking for AMD AHCI storage driver for Windows 7 64bit

I plan to downgrade Notebook 15-F009VM with AMD E1-2100 processor to Windows 7 64 bit. It looks like it has an AMD AHCI storage controller. Can anyone direct me to the driver so that I can load the Windows 7 OS on the system?

Hi:
It seems that several folks are unable to find the right driver.
All I can tell you is that you can try the drivers in the Packages folder from the chipset driver at the link below. First driver on the list.
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows%207%20-%2064
You can use a free file utility like 7-zip to extract the file folders from the exe file vice running it.

Diagnosing No POST, No Beep MSI 790GX-G65 with AMD Phenom X4 955 BE

Last night I came home to a ceased PC with a frozen screen. PC has been working fine for over 2 years, but CPU has been running a bit hot of late (60C) with occasional BSODs with some ATI driver reference. Updated video drivers a few times. Suspected overheating CPU or ATI. Never overclocked it.
Specifications:
CPU: 3.2Ghz Quad-core AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition
M/B: MSI 790GX-G65
BIOS: Don't know. I upgraded it at one point.
Memory: 4x 2GB DDR3 Apacer (2GB UNB PC3-10600 CL9). Don't have more info right now.
Video: On-board.
Hard-drives: 1x 500GB Western Digital (Removed)
Peripheral Devices: PCI Wi-Fi card (Removed)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
PSU: ISO-500PP Switching PSU, Max Output 420W rated 23.0A @ 12V
Symptoms:
Black screen with blinking monitor LED (connected via DVI).
All 5 blue M/B LEDs light up.
No POST.
No Beeps (connected PC speaker to JFP2 according to maunal)
No peripheral activation, e.g. no keyboard lights / mouse.
All funs run (incl. PSU fan).
If USB keyboard is plugged in when powered, keyboard function LED lights up for a second, then dies.
Suspected Causes:
Broken CPU
Broken PSU. It is the only component I skimped on with this system (420W), but I was saving money and didn't have a video card DVD drive or anything fancy connected. Worked great until now.
Things I have tried:
Left it overnight.
Reseated CPU and heatsink (did not reapply thermal paste).
Cleaned heatsink under CPU Fan.
Removed PSU and M/B from case.
Disconnected everything.
Laid M/B on anti-static bag with only power supply and monitor via DVI cable.
Removed all RAM. Starting produces no beeps from PC speaker (via JFP2). Suspect broken CPU.
Some things I have not tried:
A different PSU
VGA output
Different AM2 CPU (don't have one)
New thermal paste
Clearing CMOS and removing battery. Not sure how to do this (do I need to remove CMOS battery and hold clr CMOS button for 60s?)
Since everything on the M/B lights up (incl. blinking Wi-Fi LED when it was connected), I suspect a bricked CPU.
Where do I go from here?
(edit: added keyboard LED symptom)

@Fredrik:
Yes, I tried with 1 RAM DIMM in different positions. I connected a PC speaker and my standard speakers via the audio jack (some new M/Bs apparently output to it). I don't have access to another compatible system to try my CPU on. Very infrequent thunderstorms.
@cronnin:
1. Placed M/B on unpainted wooden table. Good point about the anti-static bag - I forgot that it conducts. No change in symptoms.
2. Everything is disconnected. I've tried 1 stick of RAM in different slots and connected a CRT monitor via VGA. No video out.
3. I connected an old PC speaker to pins 2 and 8 of JFP2 and plugged in normal speakers via green audio jack on M/B. I can't get it to produce any sound whatsoever.
4. FSB overclock switches are both ON.
5. I pressed and held CLR_CMOS for 10 seconds while ATX power was connected and system unpowered. Didn't touch the battery.
More Things I Tried:
Used a multimeter to test my PSU ATX outputs on the board when powered on. I get a steady 12.35V, 5.2V and 3V at the M/B power connector. Starting to think the PSU is OK, but still can't be sure. If there was a lack of current, wouldn't the voltages start to break-down?

Copy CD with Mac and Windows Files

I have a CD, not copy protected that has both Mac files and Windows files on it. Specifically it is a Printer Driver CD.
When I make an image of it with Disk Utility, the only files in it are the Mac files. I wanted to make a safe backup of the CD, including both the Mac files (for my PB G4) and the Windows files for when I install the print drivers on my new MacBook Pro using BootCamp.
Any ideas as to how to make a copy of a CD that has both Mac and Windows files on it?
Thank you

Are you sure the Windows files aren't there? A lot of CDs are hybrids, and do not show the files that belong on another platform such as Windows. Put it in a Windows computer and check.
Otherwise, buy a copy of Toast and dupe it that way.

Windows 7 RC1 Freeze/halt durning install (expanding files)

I used the boot camp tool to create a 32GB partition and formated within the windows installer. The installer starts expanding the files then freezes and halts at various percent values. I notice the superdrive spins down then powers down before this happens.
I ran the Apple diagnostic tools, holding down "D key" on boot, ran the extended tests = pass. Ran memory tests in windows 7 diagnostics = pass. Ran Ultimate boot CD 4 ran tests = pass.
Is any one else having this issue? Does anyone have a solution?

I've been experiencing similar freezes since shortly. Here's my story.
I have a late 2008 (first unibody) MBP and always had Windows installed via Bootcamp and had (almost) no problems until one month ago. Then came the holidays, now I'm back and I wanted to start Windows to play some GTA. Until yesterday I had Windows 7 RC 32 bit installed, which ran without problems before my holidays. Now it suddenly freezed sometimes at the login screen, sometimes shortly after it.
Since my Leopard install was also a bit faulty, I decided to fully reinstall my Mac from scratch. So what I did is completely repartition the hard drive, installed Leopard, installed all the updates, restored all my data (manually) from an external drive. Then I went through the Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 7 RC, 64bit this time.
Installation freezes at 77% of "files are being extracted" (already in the graphical part of the setup, after selecting the partition).
Tried Windows XP SP2 32bit afterwards. Also freezes during install.
I don't know what has changed since everything worked fine. I don't remember when the last firmware update was. Could it have something to do with it? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

LOOOOOONG pauses in Windows Explorer with file copy, rename, new folder, etc.

I am using Windows 7 64-bit pro and I am experiencing horribly long pauses in Windows Explorer on very simple file operations, such as renaming a file, copying a file, creating a new folder, etc. Here is an example:
1. Open a folder in windows explorer, e.g. My Documents
2. Select a file
3. Hit F2 and enter a new name for the file, then hit ENTER to save the name
4. Windows Explorer now shows the wait cursor and becomes completely unresponsive, sometimes for MINUTES.
This is crazy. I read somewhere it may be due to shell extensions -- another post specifically called out MagicDisc, but I uninstalled that and still have the problem. After a fresh reboot the problem usually is not there immediately, but always comes back eventually.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Lex3001,
I would like to confirm what are the results in Safe Mode and Clean Boot?
I also would like to suggest you run ShellExView again and disable some shell extensions to check the issue.
Run ShellExView
=================
1. Launch ShellExView again and scan the computer.
2. Press "Ctrl" on the keyboard and click all items which are marked in pink in the list.
3. Choose "File" then "Disable Selected Items".
4. Quit and restart the computer to check the Windows Explorer issue again.
Does it work?
In addition, I also would like to suggest you create a new user account to check the result

BCA : copying Windows files takes an eternity!?

*expect some mistakes, french is my native language*
Hi folks!
Here's my issue :
I've started the process of installing windows 7 to my mac. I had only one partition at the beginning and I've backed up the latest of my data with time machine before starting the whole process. I decided to do so by formatting and copying the .iso image of Windows 7 on a usb key 15GB.
Unfortunately, when boot camp starts copying the windows files, the task status bar is frozen at midway. It's been like this for about 30 mintutes now and I'm starting to wonder a lot and asking me lots of questions that i can't anwser.
That's why I come to you apple community!
Have you ever had the same issue?
If yes, how did you solve it?
Should I just wait?
Is it normal? (i guess not)
Thanks for the answers!
iMac 21.5-inch, late 2013
2.7 GHz Intel core i5
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
OS X 10.9.5

Thanks that's what happened
But now i have another problem...
Looks like i didn't have all the files necessary to install windows properly because during the instalation process (after partitioning the disk and chosing the language and time in windows set up) the instalation stoped and a msg showed up saying i was missing some files.
Now every time i boot my mac i have to press the option key chose the startup disk Macintosh HD otherwise it's a black Windows screen with a cursor flashing at the top left...
notice that i have deleted the bootcamp partition that was created, because it was useless without Windows instaled on it, even though it still chow up this screen when booting...
Can you help me with that ?

I'm guessing that you are just pressing the eject button on the drive. Don't do that.
Quit the application that you are using to work with the files. Then open Windows Explorer, right-click the CD/DVD drive and click on 'Eject'.

Stuck at "Copying Windows files"

Hi,
I'm using a 2012 MBA and I'm trying to create a Bootcamp installation disc using a USB stick.
The installation has stopped at about 40% on the progress bar and it says it's "Copying Windows files".
I found a few other threads around the internet, but noe seem to have any conclusive soltions. If anyone has any insight into the matter, please advise.
Thanks,
Dan

AMD X6 1090T problems with 790GX-G65 Board

I've been tinkering at this for a week now and I really don't know what to do at this point. I just got the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T and tried it in an MSi 790GX-G65 mainboard. I can't seem to get a clock speed beyond 804Mhz. A PerformanceTest benchmark for this CPU is currently 1856 (when it should be between 6500-7000).
The question I have is this. Is there anything I can do in the BIOS manually to bring the CPU settings to where their supposed to be?
In the BIOS, the CPU ratio is set to auto and the adjusted frequency reads 2300. When I set the multiplier to x16 (adj freq. 3200), there's no difference in either the operating speed or benchmark performance. What can I do? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the response, TN
I'm running BIOS v4.0. I hear there's a 4.15, but I haven't been able to install it.
I called MSi Tech support and asked how I could get an update and the person on the phone sent me a beta version. But it's not x64 friendly, it seems. Maybe I did something wrong. But the CPU does work with the board. I just needed to manually set the ratios and voltage levels. I was able to do it with AMD overdrive.
