(955X Platinum) IDE HDDs on VIA Controller not powering down

Hello,
I never had this problem on any motherboard that I've had. Currently, I have one SATA HDD connected to Intel ICH7R controller and two IDE HDDs connected to VIA IDE Controller (running in IDE mode). I have set Windows to power down the HDDs after 30 min. of inactivity (through the Screen Saver tab > Power button). SATA HDD does power down after the specified inactivity period. The two other IDE HDDs don't power down and are spinning all the time.
I always keep my PC on and would like the HDDs to power down when I'm out (sometimes days on end). I have FTP and HTTP servers set up and can access my data remotely whenever I need to and hence do not want to turn off the PC when its not in use !
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

pck, the advantage of having your IDE HDD on ICH7's very own IDE because this IDE is channeled directly into the southbridge. However, the VIA RAID controller is sit on top of PCI bus, then only channeled back to the southbridge (ICH7). Somemore, PCI bus is a shared medium with other PCI devices. However, ICH7's very own IDE is dedicated.
And of course, ICH7's very own IDE can support turn off HDD.
and VIA's controller DOES support Optical drives.

KM3M-V system's PSU not powering down ...

Hi all,
I got a KM3M-V installed and working fine. But upon shutting down WindowsXP Pro /sp2, the mobo and CPU fan powers down, but the PSU fan remains running for hours ... and never stops.
Any idea? Thx!

Get another PSU! I agree with Wonkanoby. The one you got is mostly meant for a Cube system of some kind, and the PSU has been discontinued, probably because it wont even power these. This is the closest to an amperes list I come:
DC +3.3V +5V -5V +12V -12V +5V-SB COM PS-ON PW-OK
OUTPUT 11.5/18.7A 16/13A 0.3A 11A 0.3A 2.0A RETURN REMOTE P.G.

Thanks Fedrik! I think I might just have to go this way ... I just want to make sure its not the mobo. But since its working fine as it is, except for the switching off issue, I might just go for a new mobo. In the meantime, I'll just power off the socket!

Computer not powering down

Something interesting cropped up today - my iBook will not shut down using the normal method. I tried Apple>Shut Down>Shut Down, I tried Apple>Shut Down and then letting the count down expire, and lastly, when I hit the power button, I clicked on the Shut Down button there. No such luck. The only way to get it to turn off is to hold down the power button.
The only thing new is a SanDisk 1 gig flash drive "cruzer," but I was able to use the normal shut down routine last night after using the flash drive for the first time (and the flash drive has not been plugged in until after the boot up is completed). Nothing else has changed - no downloads since the last Office update about a week ago.

Hi,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Resetting the PMU should take care of it.

Problems with MBP - first HDD, then battery, now not powering on at all

My MBP is just over a year old (though I think the model itself may be from 2010; I bought it on clearance from a Best Buy).A couple of days ago it started behaving oddly - freezing constantly, then more and more to the point where I had to just shut it off. During one of these episodes, it came back with the flashing question mark folder. I chalked it up to the HDD failing and had Geek Squad replace it, though that in itself was an ordeal because the computer would not read any of the HDDs we tried. Finally found one it did read today, and I thought the problem was solved, until I brought it home.
The magsafe LED was green but not charging the battery. So I tried resetting the PRAM; nothing. Tried resetting the SMC and turned the computer back on. It came on (very slowly), and then turned off by itself. Now it's not booting on at all. For awhile the LED kept flashing between green and orange, now it's just green, but still will not turn on no matter what I do.
I don't really know what to do now. There isn't an Apple store near me, and the Geek Squad I took it to doesn't have an Apple section, either. I'm moving 18 hours away in 10 days, and I really need it working by then. But, I'm assuming the logic board is fried...

Figured so. I'm also wondering if it could be something as benign as the battery being dead? But considering all of this happened starting with the HDD, probably not. How much does a logic board replacement run, anyway?

Can I send photo via email not upside down?

When I take photos on my iPhone 4s using the +volume button and then email them or synchronize with windows xp, photos are upside-down.

You can't forget about exif, that's why it's there.
I didn't mean it that way. I meant forget about EXIF for a moment and realise that the iphones 'upright position' is with the volume buttons on the bottom, but now that Apple want you to use the volume button, the camera is now upside down. Now, with the majority of iphone users, they're not using top end cameras and software, they're taking pictures and video of their kids - with the volume button - and sending it to grandma and grandpa - straight from the phone, either by mms or email - and they're receiving them upside down.
Yes, everyone should get with the EXIF program, but Apple should've also thought about which orientation they're default setting is, especially now that they've flipped it and changed the way we take pictures and video.
I have to admire your tenacity with this issue. Tempted as I might be to so something dismissive like "Things change, get over it" Lets look ahead to what might, in the future, provide what you want.
As it is now, given the processing power and memory of the iPhone 4S, Apple has been able to provide a wonderfully acceptable picture taking performance, good enough to even support the "Burst Mode" taking of a sequence of pictures very rapidly.
Perhaps, with the iPad 2S ( or iPad 3 as it may be called) there may be enough of an increment of hardware resources to provide in camera processing between shots. Even if they did provide that for still images, think about how much processing power would be needed to do an in camera reorientation of a large video file.
Realistically, this is a trade off in resource use that is unlikely to be possibe with even the next hardware generation beyond, the iPhone 5 or the iPad 4. Why would I say that? Because none of the high priced DSLR cameras attempt in camera processing. manipulating large matrices of pixels in a DSLR or an iPhone or an iPad is way beyond reason.
The bottom line is that if you share phots with folks whose computer is so old that they are still happily using Microsoft IE 6 ( for example) they are unlikely to even think of getting an upgrade to their video viewing software that is EXIF aware.
That leaves the onus on you and I to routinely do a "Save As...." operation on our video and still images, on our own computers, before we send them out to the older aunts and grannies of our families.
Suppose, Apple were to suddenly flip the relationship of the picture upright position and the volume button. Then you would have the millions of newer users suddenly as disturbed as you are. Apple is in a no win situation.
At my age (76) after decades of Mac support work starting in the days of my long departed Apple Lisa computer, I have come to accept the reality that "Things change, so I might as well get over it"
Your mileage may vary.
With kindest regards, and genuine compassion for your position.

Macintosh HD not powering down. Yours may be running 24 hrs a day like mine did.

This is my second attempt to inform this forum of a hidden problem I've found with my hard drive continuously spinning for no reason.
My 5 year-old domestic iMAC Macintosh HD disc drive burnt out, literally. After removing it and taking it apart, I found foam rubber had burnt over a small chip.
I replace it with an external drive (re-named it Machintosh HD) and restored my system via Time Machine.
After some time, I noticed the drive's light was on in the morning after it had not been used all night! The screen was black.
Investigation using Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities/Application Monitor.app) showed that writes (red lines) were made to the disc before it had time to shut-down. I don't know if it's an OS 10.6 or a hard-drive specified time-out to power down, but the writes were before then, so it never shut-down.
WORD 2004
This was the first I found to cause the problem. Is it a Microsoft or Apple OS problem, I don't know. What happens is that even with no documents open, just Word open, a small amount of Data is written before the drive can power down, so it's continously spinning (I've felt the vibrations and heard it running). Thus, when I was doing a lot of Word processing a few years ago, I left it open for days-on-end without knowing the hard drive was continously running (24x7). No wonder it burnt-out.
SAFARI
This is another source of the problem that I've found. Sometime it's a problem, sometimes it's not. However, it appears that it does depend upon what activity Safari is doing, eg flashing, blinking, what-ever. Haven't tracked it down as I'm happy to just shut it down when not needed when it no longer is a problem.
Maybe this is still an issue with OS 10.7 (Lion), Microsoft Excel, Power Point 2004 or newer versions of them and Word. I don't know.
You may need to check it out so your drive doesn't prematurely pack-up like mine did.

Agree 100%! There seems to be no helpful instructions on how to manage Sharing & Permissions using the GetInfo panel. I'd like to ensure that my user files are only readable by myself. If I log in with my Admin name and password on Partition #1 and open my home folder, I find that Myself, Staff and Everyone has Read/Write privileges, by default. Is that stupid, or what?
I think so, because if I reboot as admin from Partition #2 that has its own, separate Snow Leopard system, I find to my dismay that I can still see virtually all of the contents of Partition #1, including all of my Partition #1 Admin home folder files!
Again rebooting from Partition 1, when I getinfo on my admin home folder, I could set myself to Read & Write, and set 'Staff' and 'Everyone' to "No Access".
But in the English language, "everyone" means EVERYONE, (which also includes MYSELF, right???) So, if I set Everyone to "No Access", will it remove MY read & write access? Or, If "everyone" REALLY means "everyone else", why didn't they simply call it "everyone else" in the first place?
Next question: Who is "Staff"? Does that include Everyone, or some sub-set of Everyone? Am I, as Admin, part of "Staff"? But it gets even worse: Who is "Unknown User"? I see this appear, sometimes. Really, this is enough to drive a person to consume multiple Margaritas...!!!

Group Policy Management Console Failes to open when one Domain Controller is powered down

Hi All,
This was an accidental discovery, but here's my dilemma. I have a site with 2 domain controllers(Windows 2008 R2), and if I shut down my second domain controller, when I try to open the Group Policy Management Console on the 1st domain controller,
it fails to open and I get the following error, "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted" with 3 options to "retry", "choose another domain controller", or remove. If I go to chose another domain
controller and select the 1st domain controller it still fails. Unless the 2nd DC is turned on, I have no issues opening the GP management console. Not sure, why this is happening, I've done it in the pass without issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Well it seems that some how the PDC emulator is set to be the 2nd DC instead of the 1st DC on the 1st DC which explains why the failure after the 2nd DC went down. Why or should I say how could the PDC get switched from the primary DC without human intervention.
Does the PDC automatically switch for any reason?

PC not powering down

When I run 'shutdown -h now' my PC (PII 166Mhz) will shutdown but not power off. I've tried out several Linux distros on this box, including RedHat and Slackware, and Arch linux is the only distro which doesn't power off. With Slackware I had to run 'modprobe apm' but that module doesn't appear to be available for Arch (even after I added package 'apm'). Am I missing something basic here? Should 'shutdown -h now' power off the PC? In case it is of importance, GRUB config is as below:-
timeout 5
default 0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
title Arch Linux [/boot/vmlinuz26]
root (hd0,2)
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/discs/disc0/part3 ro

As suggested I re-compiled the kernel with only APM support (including APM realmode-power-off), but with no effect - the PC still halts but does not power off. Should there now be a different parameter in GRUB? I tried 'modprobe apm' (which is what worked for Slackware) but I just got 'module does not exist'.

Battery drains unless shut down on top right. Just touched, not powered down

I suspect this has to do with some App that is too power hungry. My prime suspect is NEST. Any thoughts?

Used the timer on my iPhone. From green status light (turned off) to when I woke up it was eight hours, 41 minutes, 48.6 seconds later and the battery status was as follows:

955X Platinum - use SATA as IDE or RAID ?

Hello everyone,
I just received my new MSI 955X Platinum motherboard today. The boot-up screen looks quite horrible! Is there any way to change it?
Now, I want to install Windows XP on my WD 36GB SATA 10,000 RPM hard drive. What will give me optimal performance - setting the SATA in IDE mode or in RAID mode ? From what I understand, setting it as an IDE HDD does not need the RAID driver floppy during the intial stages of Windows XP setup. RAID mode will require the RAID driver floppy.
Also, can the VIA SATA controller be mapped as IDE as well ?
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Kamran

Yes, you can disable the boot up screen in the BIOS. But if you thought of changing it to something else, hmm you must hack the BIOS code, which I don't recommend.
1 SATA drive? definitely set as IDE. RAID is for stacking up multiple HDDs together as a single logical drive.

Ide 2 controller not detect

hi, THIS IS NOT MSI PRODUCT,BUT I NEED YOUR HELP ,AND IDEA
my intel SE440BX ide 2 cannot detect my cd-rom,and i try to read from windows(windows 98SE)device manager the secondary ide controller not detect,but at cMOS the both of ide was enable ,the CDROM is working ,pls help me.
IF can't use ,do your know the configure the creative Sound blaster 16(CT2910)the IDE port,can your show the method

does the cd-rom detect on bootup when you set the secondary master/slave to auto-detect?
When you say that the secondary ide not detect in windows, do you mean that you only get a primary ide controller? Try going into the Main IDE controller properties (can't remember what it's called in 98), and make sure that both ide channels are enabled, this is done in device manager, it's in the same section as the primary/secondary ide controller's are.

How many HDD I may conntect to my MSI 955X Platinum?

Depending on 2 factors.
1) How many optical drives are you connecting to the board?
2) Are you pointing to IDE HDDs or SATA HDDs?
Btw, below is the specs of the board drives support:
On-Board IDE/SATA
• One Ultra DMA 66/100 IDE controllers integrated in ICH7R and VIA® 6410.
- Supports PIO, Bus Master operation modes.
- Can connect up to six Ultra ATA drives. (Up to 6 IDE HDDs without any Optical drives and without RAID on IDE 2 & 3)
• SATAII controller integrated in ICH7R
- Up to 300MB/sec transfer speed.
- Can connect up to four SATAII devices. (Up to 4 SATA HDDs without any Optical drives and without RAID)

Xboxdrv controller not detected by Escape Goat 2

I'm trying to use the xboxdrv driver (for my xbox 360 controller) instead of the xpad driver and I'm having some issues with it not being detected by Escape Goat 2. Here are my results:
Steam + Escape Goat 2 + Xpad = Controller detected and works fine
(i.e. ran escape goat 2 from steam)
Steam + Big picture mode + xboxdrv = works fine
Steam + other linux games (e.g. towerfall ascension) + xboxdrv = works fine
Steam + Escape Goat 2 + xboxdrv = controller not detected
Escape Goat 2 + xboxdrv = works fine
(i.e. ran escape goat 2 from outside of steam)
I think the last result is most interesting.
Any ideas on why it's not being detected when run via steam?

945P Neo Platinum IDE or bios problem

Ive just fitted a maxtor diamondmax 10 160G hdd as a second drive to my pc, the hdd was previously in an external case, had no problems, now that it is connected to ide 2 on the mobo the transfer rate is incredibly slow, about 30 mins for a 4.5g DVD, ive looked in the bios changed the ide controller to ide instead of raid, i also checked device manager but cant seem to see anything wrong, any ideas

Tried Hd Tach i got 2.2Mb per sec, removed the drive tried it on usb and got 35Mb, will try installing the via controller, i thought the floppy was only for the raid drivers.
Thanks will let you know how i get on
