N4 PLATINUM SATA PROBLEM

HI ALL
IN MY BIOS SETUP MENU ===>FIRST MENU ...WHERE WE CAN SEE THE CDROM AND HDD DEVICE
WHEN I CHOOSE THE "NONE" AND ENTER ON IT
THE PAGE WAS CRACH AND IN THE DOWN OF PAGE I SEE THE STRANGE CHARACTER LIKE THIS "*%&%!#+!|&&#%"
AND I HAVE TO RESTART THE PC.....(IT HAPPEN WHEN I CHOOSE THE SATA OPTION DEVICE AND ON THE IDE DRIVE
NO PROBLEM) BIOS VER 1.B
2-MY HDD IS 120 SATA MAXTOR AND OFTER THE WINXP SP2 INSTALLATION
I WANT TO INSTALL THE DRIVER .EVREYTHING IS FINE BUT WHEN I INSTALL THE SW DRIVER
MY PC AFTER THE 1 OR 2 REBOOT STOP IN LOADING AND THE LED OF HDD STAY ON LIGHT
HOPE ANYONE CAN HELP!
SORRY FOR MY POOR ENGLISH
THANK

Also, please take a moment to create a sig. that details all of your hardware and even what BIOS version you are running.
From your post I see that you want to run 2X120gb hard drives, and that you are trying to load the SW driver, so I'm assuming that you want to RAID your hard drives? Otherwise you shouldn't load the SW or the IDE drivers.

Problem overclocking my 945P PLATINUM+805D

hi...
my english is lack so i'll make it slow
i just bought the msi 945p platinum with intel dual 805d.
unfortunally, i cant o/c the system ..
the bios got no update on msi website so i see it is the latest bios .
i know that the 805d can be o/c to 3.2 without any over voltage ...as concidered to other motherboards .just by increasing the fsb to 166.
i am kind of newbie in the terms of o/c .
i tried to make some adjustments in the corecenter software but the system freezes or get quickly unstable.
i cant make the fsb on bios ,higher then 165 .default is 133 by the range.
i put over voltage to the memory ->1.9v .default is 1.8 , and put the fsb to 165...but the system didnt post .
anyone here can help me please ?

I also have a D805 and an 945P platinum.
In fact i manage a 3.3 GHZ stable overclock by using these:
In BIOS cell menu:
CPU ratio unlock-unlock
Memory function sub-menu - Enter, then
DRAM timing - AUTO (!!!!)
System memory frequency - auto
D.O.T.3 Step0 setting - disabled
Auto Detect PCI clock - Enabled
Spread Spectrum - Disabled
CPU fsb frequency - 165 (THIS IS THE MAX THAT MOBO PERMITS AND IT PISSES ME OFF)
PCI-e frequency - 115
CPU voltage - 1.21V (1 step up from normal)
Memory voltage - 1.8V
AGP/PCI voltage - 1.5V
I have to say that i use a ZALMAN 9550 heatsink and a pair of OCZ DDR2/667 dual channel. CPU temp as BIOS shows is 42C
Also, memory is not overclocked at all !!!
PSU is a TAGAN 500W
I am sure that i could go up to 3.6-3.8 GHZ with a board that is more "overclocking" oriented.....
But alas...i have no other problems (so far) from it

945P Platinum IDE 2 & IDE 3 works in PIO MODE?

Hello there, I just Bought MSI 945P Platinum M/B and Intel Pentium 4 D @2,8Ghz with 1Ghz RAM, 80GB SATA2, 4 CDRW drives (PATA) where 2 of them I plug in to IDE1 slot(known as RAID, but i configured it to IDE function in BIOS) and the others are in IDE2 slot. I used winxp with the all M/B driver installed, everything's seems ok in device manager, the problem is when I use nero for burning with multiple recorder activated, the windows then going extremely slow in any response even with the mouse movement that it seems windows is running out of system memory. Then I check the device manager and I found that IDE2 run in PIO Mode, IDE1 run in UDMA Mode2.
It didn't make any changes when I used IDE3 slot, it run in PIO MODE either.
How Can I configured The IDE2 & IDE3 to works in DMA mode? I've try any combination in BIOS Setup... it didn't work??
HELP, any advice would be appreciated THX...

PCI Bus Mastering already enabled since the 1st time I configured the bios, I'm using 2 pieces thermaltake IDE round Cable that plugged in to IDE 2 & 3, IDE 1 using cable that came with the board. I'm using 4 LiteOn PATA Writers and Seagate 80Gb SATA2 HDD plugged in SATA1 port.
1st configuration, 2 writers are in IDE 1 & the others are in IDE 2
2nd configuration, 2 writers are in IDE 1 & the others are in IDE 3
3rd configuration, 2 writers are in IDE 2 & the others are in IDE 3
All above configuration make the same result, IDE 2 & 3 Won't run in DMA mode
I've try to switch the thermaltake cable to IDE1 and it's work fine (DMA still on).
It doesn' t matter how I configured the BIOS (SATA to combine, enhanced, or AUTO) IDE2&3 still in PIO Mode.

945P Platinum, memory divider (BIOS)

First I want to say hello to all users!
I recently bought MSI 945P Platinum motherboard with Bios v1.3, CPU is Intel Celeron 2.66GHz, 64bit, LGA775, 256mb cache which I intend to replace with some Pentium D in about a month. But until than I tried to overclock CPU but all I achieved is 145*20=2.9GHz (default is 133*20=2.66GHz) Vcore 1.4v, with Kingston VR DDR2 533MHz memory. The thing is that FSB:DRAM is always 1:2, how can I change this in bios? I think that the problem is memory, it wont go more than 580MHz... and if I put FSB at 146 the only solution is CLEAR CMOS.
I didn`t tried with different bios versions because there are no other versions to download from msi.com.tw.
P.S. I also tried to set in bios>core cell>memory manual 4-4-4-11 533MHz but nothing happens, I cant change FSB:DRAM from 1:2.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

You can.
The o/c method goes like this: Every 1 FSB rised = 2 RAM MHz rised. If your 2.66GHz Celeron is 133 x 20, 133 is the FSB and 20 is the multiplier so your RAMs will be 266 x 2, where 266 is the RAM speed and Double Data Rate 266 will give approx. 533MHz. We'll only take the FSB and the RAM speed here for divider calculation.
133 : 266 will ratio as 1 : 2. If you want to o/c higher in terms of CPU speed, you can try dropping your RAM speed to 200MHz and rising the FSB to higher clock speed. This will allow the RAM speed to increase as well.

945P Platinum No Manual Bios Download

Anyone help why MSI took off Manual Bios Downloads for 945P Platinum Version Boards
I like to Manual Update Board Bios to latest Bios before Loading OS and view current Version releases (without LiveUpdate)
Also anyone experienced Microphone Problems plugging into Mic Plug (Onboard Realtek 882) all version Sound Drivers
Low Voice pick up (Skype or Sound Recorder) have to use USB Mic
Have tested on 10 Different Boards and differnet plug in mics all the same

Not unusual that bios is removed / greyouted, when there are just the original 1.0 bios and no update versions.
Have you been able to download newer/later biosversions then the orginial bios before ?
No clue about the mic-port issue.
Sometimes separate pci soundcards gives better functionality.

945P Platinum With The MSI NX7950GX2-T2D1GE

Hey guys,
Ill be receaving one of these cards shortly, though since ive been out of the whole PC loop for a while now, i only just noticed that on certain motherboards support this card.
On the list from Nvidia website it states the "945P NEO2-F" as compatible. Though from what i can see, there is no real difference between this board and my "945P Platinum". I know the main issue seems to be 16x PCI Slot, and the bios, so before i receave card, could someone please confirm that this card will work with my motherboard =D hopefully before i receave it as i can still change the card .
Thanks in advance,
David.

Just want to point out too people that the g-card does not accutaly fit into the motherboard -_-, there are two capacitor's near the sata ports that are in the way. Though a bit of electrical tape and removing the bottom bar off the card and it just fits in.
Also it is working atm, though for some reason am getting rather low scores in 3d-mark06. Scoring around 5.5k when most people even with lower spec'ed systems seem to be scorring in the 8-10k's
Might just be my setup, but who knows.

945P Platinum (MS-7176) D-Bracket Connector

I've just installed a 945P Platinum. Upon installing the D-Bracket, I noticed that the connector to JDB1 is not keyed the same as the JDB1 pins on the motherboard - and thus will not connect. On the motherboard, there is no pin at pin 9 on JDB1, however on the D-Bracket cable connector the "key" (blocked pin) is on pin 10 - and therefore the connector will not fit.
Have I gone nuts or has anyone else seen this issue? Thanks!

Yes, I'm looking at the one labeled JDB1 - and it looks just like that manual says it should look - with no pin at pin 9.
To me, the problem is the connector from the D-Bracket - where is has pin 10 blocked instead of pin 9. Since there is a pin 10 on JDB1, it's impossible to connect. I thought I was nuts and looking at the wrong thing.
Any ideas - or maybe I just have a bad D-Bracket?
Thanks for the reply!

SATA Problems (Money to anyone that helps!)

Ok ladies and gents! I will seriously PayPal some cash to the person that helps me solve this one!
Just got myself a new setup....
MSI K7N2-ILSR Motherboard
AMD XP Barton 3200
512MB Kingson Hyper-X DDR 3200
Samsung 120GB SATA 133 HDD
Thermaltake Subzero 4G Peltier Cooling System
Wavemaster Aluminium Case
The problem is this....
If i plug in the SATA HDD into the SATA-0 motherboard connector and boot up the PC, when it gets to the Promise bios where it should be asking me to do a control-f to set up an array, the PC just hangs. Its just stuck on that screen and it does nothing!
I have no idea why this might be, thought it might be a power issue (have a 350W PSU, but it was cheap - £25) and it didnt have a SATA power connector so I had to use an adapter. Could this be it????
I have had to temporarily plug in an IDE 20GB thing and install XP on that - and the system works fine....its just this SATA problem.
So - anyone if anyone can spare some time to sort this problem out it would be much appreciated! I know theres probably loads of posts like this - but I can be bothered to trawl through trying everything!
Help Meeeeee!

Just bought k7N2-Delta board, not the G one. Have two SATA 120GB of differing brands and NONE would ever detect one SER1 on the board. No problem if you want to only use one drive, plug it into SER2, but if you want to use 2, no go. It was funny though because i could boot of SER2, stick a drive on SER1, FAstrack would not detect it but windows would, VERY STRANGE!!!!.
Took your advice and flashed to lumberjacks modded bios and WHALLAH, can see drives on both SATA connectors.
So board is good but MSI bios upgrade support is somewhat c#$p. BTW this board rocks.
Modded bios is much more stable too than the MSI one, amazing really because I was totally suspect on modded bioses b4, but now understand why people do it.
CMON MSI pick up your act, get the promise bios into this board that is as good or better than lumberjacks sterling effort. employ him or something you fools.
ANYWAY, happy days because now my board rocks and is the heart of a gaming weapon

945P Platinum and Pentium D 945

Did anyone try Intel Pentium D 945 CPU on the 945P Platinum motherboard? Does it work with bios 1.6?

Quote from: Maesus on 09-March-07, 19:50:58
oh well, there is no good reason why D 945 is not supported by 945P. Just make sure you have the latest BIOS.
Once I've seen OK on the CPU Support Page for the Pentium D 915.. Maesus do you think I should try? ???

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 to 945P Platinum?

Hi, i have question.Is possible aplicate processor Q8400 to motherboard 945P platinum?I downloaded the newest BIOS file W7176IMS.230 for 945P platinum, but i didnt find cpu support.Thx a lot.

>>Posting Guide<<
Your specific processor does not appear on the CPU support list.
http://us.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&maincat_no=1&prod_no=193#menu
Suggest you contact >>How to contact MSI.<< MSI technical to check if there is any intention to do this. I doubt that they would do any further work on a BIOS on a discontinued MB.

K9A2 Platinum Sata Raid Problems

I could not get my 2 500 gb seagate 7200.11 drives to work on the sb600 raid controller, in raid 1 (set to raid mode in bios). I'd set it up and it would remain functional until I formatted it and put stuff on it. Then when I restarted, it says critical and can't locate the second drive, but it shows up in the list of definable drives. My older 200 gb seagates 7200.9 in the same setup do not have this problem. I finally got my 500s working by hooking them up to the promise controller instead. (Although no longer a current problem, I wouldn't mind knowing what would cause this for future occasions.)
My new problem is, I had to unhook all but the drive I wanted to install Windows XP on (A separate 120 JBOD configured drive) so I could get it to be C:/. This all went fine. However when I hooked up the 500s again, Windows XP would not boot, the screen just stayed black, with them not hooked up, it boots just fine, with the 200s as well. When running the Windows XP setup again, the 500s appear as C:/ instead of the 120 in the disk select screen of the install. It's like the 500s took over the drive letter when they are hooked up and thus can't load. Is there some way to stop it from doing this or am I completely off on this.
My computer spec is:
K9A2 Platinum
AMD X2 6000
2*2gb OCZ PC6400
ATI Radeon 3870
700 Watt OCZ PSU
Update: Installing XP ignoring the fact its not C: fails. It copies all the files onto it, then after restarting I get a black screen.
Another Update: On a whim I tried disabling the SB600 raid and set it to AHCI instead as I read that other people were having problems with it and it all works perfectly now. It's too bad this doesn't work, but I'll just put the 200s back in my old computer instead.

I'm having the exact same problem you did. Same Mobo. Except I started off with Promise RAID 1 because when I tried using SB600 RAID, my SATA DVD drive would not function in Vista Ultimate x64. So I had my Raid 1 configured on Promise T3 with BIOS 2.8.1030.0021 using 2 320GB drives. One of them Seagate, one WD, both 3GB/s transfer, only difference was that Seagate has 16MB cache, while the WD has 8MB. But both drives worked fine in the array for some time, and then after doing some updates from Windows Updates now the Raid config shows that encountered a critial status, "A disk member of an array has failed or is not responding", "Problem is detected with Array : 1". And when I go to the see the Array status it shows the Seagate drive on ID channel 1, but for the 2nd drive it shows questions marks all the way through the item line. I checked the drive, it seems fine. And even when I go to define a second Array, it shows the WD available on channel ID 3. So it definitely see both drives, but how do I re-add that WD drive that it doesn't see to my earlier defined array without loosing data on my Seagate drive?

P965 platinum ide and sata problems

in bios om my mb it says that i have ide not sata >:(.
and i cannot see my cd-rom as an ide.
i have tried to update bios but it didnt work i tried liveupdate and usb stick.
when i set my mb to ahci function on my sata config, windows dosent find the disk in the os installation. and my computer cannot load windows.
in windows something is wrong with the cd-rom when i use it my computer is going slowly.
i think this problem is caused by the jbmicron software.
anybody who can help me with this problem??
Specs:
Msi p965 platinum
c2d e6600
corsair twin2x 2048mb ram
xfx geforce 7900gt

seagate 160gb sata2
thermaltake pure power 460w

Would much appreciate some help if anyone is familiar with this issue!
I'm having a very difficult time getting the the 965 Platinum to recognize my IDE devices, and I don't know why. I've got a Sony DRU-500A DVD burner in the master position, and a Maxtor 6L300R0 hard drive in the slave position. The jumpers on those devices are appropriate for their position. The devices are "usuable", that is, I've been able to run the Windows XP installer (up to a point) and writes have occured to my hard drive, but the installation fails after the portion where you reboot after all the files have been written from the install disk.
In any case, the Standard CMOS screen simply never shows any devices detected on either the IDE Primary Master or Slave entries. I've tried disconnecting the DVD drive and just connecting the Hard Drive as master instead with no improvment. I've also tried disabling the SATA configurations, toggling PCI IDE Busmastering. Nothing works.
I've never been able to boot into Windows.
There was a point where the JMicron Raid menu showed this drive as a raid drive for reasons that aren't clear to me (the drive may have been a raid drive in the past). I've set the drive back to non-raid, rebooted back into my old system and everything checks out. No problems at all, so I think that there are any RAID issues.
I'm not a pro at building systems, so there could be user error anywhere alonog the way.
Any ideas? I'm bamboozled!

945P Platinum and 530J P4 speed fan problem

Hi,
i cant find 4pin selector in BIOS. The problem is, that CPU fan is going at 3115 rpm and rpm never goes lower. CPU temp is 32C. When temp is 40C, CPU fan goes 4500rpm. TOOO noisy. On 915P Platinum (with 530J but other orig. p4 cooler- i see differences) there is CPU fan very good, if CPU get loaded, fan speed goes up, but if you end work, CPU is in a minute at <2000rpm and I almost cant hear it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
P.S. Excuse my english

problem solved, i switched on Legend Thermal Control in BIOS...

K8N Neo 2 Platinum: having problems formatting NEW SEAGATE 200 GB SATA Drive.

Ok..
I can see the SATA drive during Windows Installation and in Windows XP... but I can't format it.
It freezes up at 20% when I do quick format.. and when I did a normal format it Windows gave me a error saying something about drive may be damage or installed wrong..
Right now I'm running IDE0 Master (Western Digital 200 GB HD) IDE1 Master (Toshiba DVDROM), then the Seagate drive in SATA0.
I see the drive in bios, windows, and windows install...
I've disconnecting my ide drive completly & disabled ide in bios... still won't format properly
i've also tried the f6 and loaded the 'nforce 3 SATA RAID Driver' disc that came with the motherboard and it still froze..
right now i am on my normal bootup (ide wd hd), windows xp detects the hard drive in windows.. i see it in disk management.. i can delete/make partitions.. but i just can't format it.. gaaaaaaah
any help would be much appreciated.

While I wouldn't recommend it I never had any problems.
Ah, you just got lucky that Windows didn't try to write something past the 137 GB point. I've always known about this, but coincidentally, this just happened to me the other day where Windows told me I had a 200 GB (186 GB really) installed and ready to go, but then a few days later I kept getting a ton of "Write Delayed" errors. I was so distracted at the time (with other issues), that it didn't occur to me what the problem was, and I ended up losing a lot of data.
Anyway, for anyone really interested in the full scoop, you can read about here in Microsoft's knowlege base.
