975X platinum bluescreening on XP install [ problem solved ]

Ive got a 975X platinum mobo, using an E6600, 7950GX2, and 2X1GB corsair 667 RAM.
My hard drives are 2X SATA 2 250gb and 1 X 80GB SATA 2.
On initial boot i am able to get into BIOS and sort out boot sequence to boot from disc. And it recognises all of my hard drives.
When i try to install windows XP Home , after all the initial loading, just before the actual install takes place, i get a blue screen error saying theres a problem. I suspected it might have been the hard drives, so i took 2 out, leaving one 250gb in, and tried again. I got the same problem.
I have also tried with only 1 stick of RAM in, and also using a different optical drive. I still get the same problem
Im not sure what the problem can be, as i havent tried to RAID the hard drives, and they are all brand new. I did reset the CMOS after a few failed attempts, and that didnt work. I really dont know what i can do now, or what the problem can be.
Please help me

I really don't like the PSU ... in theory it should be enough, but 4 12V-lines ... It states that the combined 3.3, 5V and all 12V-lines do not exceed 580W. Well, there we go again ... 12x18x4=864W. That means that this PSU has no seperate 12V-lines at all. I suspect that the psu is not stable for some reason.
Try to run the system barebone: only one stick of RAM, vid-card, CPU.
*EDIT*
I'm not saying that this is a bad psu. I'm only saying that it may cause your trouble!
Would the psu really be whats causing the bluescreen though? Surely if the psu wasnt up to grade then it wouldnt power on propperly or anything? And i did do a fair amount of research on psu. I didnt want to spend over £100, and it had to be SLI complient. (2 X pci-16). I heard a couple of bad things about some of the Akasa PSU range, and after much looking around, i opted for the epsilon. I cant seem to find any top name brands that offer more than 18A per channel at 12v.

What have you got you I/O settings for SATA in the bios settings set to? Suppose to use AHCI/Force Gen II for SATA II but performance hasn't been tested yet.
What service pack is your CD, 1,2 or none? You probably need XP SP2 as suggested.
CD was SP2 and i was using Force Gen 2 for the SATA drives.

Intel Pentium D 925+ on MSI 975X Platinum v1, won't install Vista

I have this 2 components - Intel Pentium D 925+ on MSI 975X Platinum v1 - and a licenced Vista Ultimate won't install with them. I had first an Intel Pentium 4 640 and worked great. Than I've changed the CPU to Intel Pentium D 925+. When I first boot in Vista it hanged the system during the green bar sliding. Changed to XP, worked just fine. Tried again to install Vista, after booting from DVD and loading the files needed, the green bar goes again and after 2-3 passes it hanged again. I found that there is the latest bios available 1.4 and made an bios update... Then I retried to install vista.. It worked just fine... Decompressed the files, copied them onto hard drive, and after the first restart , when the screen appears again on installing and says "Completeing installation ..." it hangs again. I just can't pass this phase no matter what I do and tried to install about... 30 times, every install being a clean install, formatting the hard drive. Every single time it hangs just there. Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

I've found the problem if anyone is interesting in knowing it and if maybe someone is having the same problem as me.... just disable EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) from bios and it will work smooth. Oh PS, and if Vista isn't ment for public use then why was it released by Microsoft in so many versions even a home version? Do you even know what you're saying with that affirmation? Or you're just a end user that is just too lasy to try understanding Vista or even learning where these operating systems are going to? Saying that if it works just fine on XP why should I install Vista...???????

WinXP install problem (solved!), RAM problem (solved!)

Hello, this is my first post on this forum.
Yesterday I bought a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum mainboard along with an Athlon 64 3000+ Winchester.
The first problem I had was with Dual DDR. I have two sticks of double sided 512MB Kingston Value PC3200 DDR, one has Infineon chips, other has ELPIDA chips. I put them in DIMM1 & DIMM2, but the pc refused to give any display on screen, the Bracket2 showed some kind of memory error.
So I removed one stick and put in DIMM3, changing to single channel mode.
(I also tried with 2 sticks of 512MB TwinMOS PC3200 with mtech chips, no display in dual DDR mode.)
After that the machine worked. I put the XP CD and formatted using NTFS. While XP was copying the first set of files to the disk, I got random file errors, telling me that the files in the harddisk are not in correct format.
Some time later I managed to install the files without any errors, but after the first reboot, I get a "Error loading operating system" or "Missing operating system" error. I tried everything I could find on this forum, from BIOS settings to removing 1 mem stick from the mobo, fixmbr, removed other drives etc. I also updated the BIOS to 1.4.
I spent 2 days trying to install Windows XP, but I can't seem to manage it.
I have a 200GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus PATA drive, which used to work with my old nForce2 Ultra mobo.
I checked the device table at system startup, it shows the drive as LRG, ATA 100, 200GB. My other drive is shown as LBA, ATA 100, 80GB. Would this LRG - LBA difference cause any problems?
The weirdest thing is, I have an older 20GB Quantum disk, I first tried using NTFS on it, I got the same boot errors, then I created a 4GB partition and formatted it using FAT32. Windows installed with no problems and right now I'm writing this message from the FAT32 formatted PC.
To sum my problem, I can't use Dual DDR and I wanted to know if this is a common problem (black screen). And I can't install Windows XP on my NTFS formatted drives ("missing operating system", "error loading operating system").
I'm really not used to have so many problems related to motherboards.

hi Tyrant,
welcome to forum , don't usually help tyrant's but wth
1)Quote
I get a "Error loading operating system" or "Missing operating system" error
- usually occurs when there's a non os hd in front of the system disk in the boot sequence. The default order of drive recognition is ide , sata. The bios offers a way to customise this in Advanced Bios Settings - HD Boot Order -
In this screen you should see all your Hard drives. the drive you want to boot from should be moved to the top of this list, select the drive & move it using the page up/down keys.
2) what hdrives did you have plugged in when you installed windows originnaly
if you choose a hard drive that is lower down the drive sequence windows will install to the selected drive but will write the boot sector to the 1st drive. you can usually tell if this happens as your windows drive won't be C;\ . Best way round this is to disconnect any drives in front of the one you want unytil after windows is installed. then re-connecting.
You can check wether this is gioing to happen, with all drives connected, by entering bios Standard bios features and checking the disk order, disconnect any drives b4 the 1 you want the os on.
3) You can download & run Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool this is a diagnostic tool that you can ,install on a floppy or cd , it will test your memory & report any errors. More info is on web site. Memory errors could have caused some of your problems. it's best to check a module at a time in slot 1.
if error free run test with both modules slot 1 & 2.
Dual channel will also not run well if the pair of modules used have different timings on the spd memory chips. download Everest, it's a good utility but specically can help provide details of your mamory. with all dram settings on auto check the Memory chipset tab to see your memory timings on auto these are from the SPD so you can identify any differences. put 1 module at a time in slot1 to get the data for your modules.
If you do find different timings manually change the dram settings in bios to that of the slowest module. This may enable you to run dual channel in slots 1& 2,
Most pps with your mobo have stability probs trying to run 2 modules in slots 1 & 3
4) With these mobos the forum has found that a 12v supply of 24Amps is needed to ensure good stability Basic Building Tips Quote
Typically we have noted many issues based on stability with PSU's being rated at less than 24A on the 12v rail.
Your zalman as far as i can see on the website only gives 18amps, again this can give stability issues.
5) NTFS & XP go together like a horse & cart. when installing xp its best to get a coffee & not take the quick format option as the quick format will not isolate or correct any disk errors. Again these errors may be as aresult of memory, disk order power or any combination of the 3.
hope this helps
luck

Pet store 2.0 + Netbeans + Glassfish + ubuntu 7.04 install problem solved

Three days ago I tried to install the javapetstore-2.0-ea5 using the following combination:
Netbeans 5.5.1
Glassfish v1
ubuntu 7.04.
I am new to java and java EE so I could n' t easily figure out the solutions to the problems that I have faced. Generally, the procedure was easy but there was a problem that i could n' t resolve easily, but after a very close observation. The problem is that the instructions guide to change the file build.properties and specially the directive:
javaee.server.passwordfile
It should have as value the path to the password file of glassfish. But here is the problem. The passwordfile in glassfish v1, doesn' t have the following form:
AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<javaeesdk-admin-password>
but
AS_ADMIN_ADMINPASSWORD=<javaeesdk-admin-password>
This results to the failure of the creation fo datasource and jdbcpool for the database of petstore.
To solve the problem, you just have to change the directive inside the password file, to AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD.

C:\Sun\SDK\blueprints\petstore\nbproject\build-impl.xml:468: Deployment error: cannot find FileArchive class...
See the server log for details.
BUILD FAILED (total time: 2 seconds)I had the same problem but not with blueprints and I managed to start manually the sun server, clean and build the project and copy the *.war file from the project_folder/dist/ to C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\autodeploy.
If this doesn't work you could try to reinstall netbeans and java .

Great
Thank you tardo

My install problems solved...hopefully

Maybe this will help others, i was having blue screen, grey screen etc etc issues as well successful apps not quitting and many other issues.
Turns out despite removing all my login items i still had "hardware monitor" installed an app to check all your ram /proc temperatures which seemed to still launch itself and live through being deleted from the login items list. Well i deleted the whole app and now (he said firmly touching wood) it seems im up and running ... and flying, man everything is so much quicker. anyway hope this helps, really check those startup apps and anything you think launches on startup ... despite being told not to! 3rd party stuff really can be a killer

I was using mac address filtering before with no wpa or wep password. After upgrading I continued with the same configurations. Then I removed the mac address filtering and implemented WPA password. In both situations now I can connect without problems.
I indeed have seen other threads about leopard. It is strange how some people seem to have problems while other not, but most strange is that it seems that there is no a unique solution.

K8N Neo4 Platinum - Is It Dead? ***PROBLEM SOLVED***

I recently upgraded my system and moved most of the old components into a different case, including the K8N, CPU, memory and PSU. The only thing that is changing is the hard drive. When I power on the computer the D-Bracket indicates it is hanging at memory initialization. I have OCZ PC3200 platinum edition 2gb dual channel kit installed. I tried to boot with one stick installed in each slot and it still hangs at the same place. I fear I shorted or damaged the MB somehow... Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kurt

975x Platinum PowerUp - Wake on LAN problem...

Hi,
for TV digital cable recording with my DboxII receiver (Neutrino Linux) I need Wake-on-Lan. It work flawlessly with my old ASUS A7N266-C: PC as streaming server, woken up by the pre-programmed DBox by a "Magic Packet" containing the MAC-adress of the LAN-card. (So I don't have to program any timers on the PC, just have to be sure that it is in standby or hibernation mode.)
The new setup is the same as the old, I've only changed the PC's MAC-Adress in the DBox-setup. The DBox is connected via router.
What I've done: I activated PME in the Intel LAN properties, and activated "resume by directed packets and Magic Packet". I allowed the device to wake up WindowsXP and set the BIOS to resume by PCI and PCI-E events (seems as if PCI-E is the necessary setting for the onboard LAN).
What happens, is, that it doesn't work with Magic Packets. It almost works with this "directed packets" setting - but the problem is, that the PC only stays in hibernation mode for around 15 seconds - even if the Dbox is switched off. Maybe the router does something to wake the LAN card? DHCP is already off...
Has anyone further knowledge about WOL with this board? The next thing I'll try is, if it works better with my previous Realtek PCI card. But it would be a pity to waste a PCI slot for that....
Power-on-LAN is impossible with this board, I guess?

P.S. I'm still stuck to BIOS 7.1, because I need the Intel Raid AND the JMicron IDE - is there any beta BIOS, that I could try?

Quote from: FrobinRobin on 27-November-06, 23:25:47
I've had WOL work on various BIOSes. I know 100% it works with 7.1A.
You need to select the first boot device as LAN
I tested my WOL application firstly from the shell prompt from another PC and when it worked I set up a web page to run the WOL app - it works great but if i remember correctly I had to change some firewall settings(?) to get it working from the shell. If you cannot get it to work maybe there is a compatibilty issue with the mobo & dbox WOL packet ?
(i have dbox - they're gr8 )
I use WOL 1.1 by Greg Whittmeyer (PM me if you want a copy)
Every magic packet is the same - the mac addy 3 times, so it shouldn't matter how it's being generated. If you want to test your waking app, plug another computer into the same network cable as the 975 system and send it's magic packet.
Another thing to be sure of is to make sure your power is off, magic packets will sometimes not wake a sleeping computer - from S1, S3, or S9

975X PowerUp--setting up PATA RAID0 and 2 optical drives (Problem Solved)

Hi, all. Revamping my existing system extensively and need some help.
I have 2 optical drives and 2 hard drives. I want to have the optical drives set up as master/slave on one IDE cable and the 2 hard drives set up as a RAID array on a second IDE cable. I did it on my old mobo but is this possible with the 975X Platinum PowerUp?
The manual says that IDE1 can support a master and slave, but that IDE2 only supports a master. However, I know this to be false because IDE2 is the slot that the JMicron RAID controller governs. I can manage to set up a RAID0 array with both HDDs master/slaved and plugged into IDE2. However, the optical drives in IDE1 are not recognized if I do this. I can get the system to recognize the optical drives if I plug them into IDE2... They work, but are incorrectly recognized by the JMicron portion of system post as a RAID array. I can't install Windows on the RAID array because so far the system won't access the optical drives without them being on IDE2--which I need for JMicron to control the RAID array. You can see how this would cause trouble. Is there some way that I can go into the BIOS and tell the system that IDE1 is the optical drives?
I have looked in the manual and on websites. Nobody seems to have the same problem. I know that I am a bit behind the times by not having a CD-RW/DVD-RW combo drive, but even having only the one device would not solve the problem of devices on IDE1 not being recognized by the system. This sounds like it should be possible to set up correctly, but because of the unfamiliarity of the motherboard and the complexity of the BIOS in relation to my last one, I know I am not doing something right. I hope I've made the situation clear enough to make sense to other people!
Any suggestions?

Since it is a fresh install, the only drivers that are installed are the ones that came on the Windows XP SP2 CD and the JMicron RAID drivers that I slipstreamed in. However, the directory structure and instructions for use weren't very clear in the .zip file that the RAID drivers came in. It says:
"For floppy install:
Please copy all the directories and files in the "floppy" folder to the root directory of a floppy disk to create a pre-install disk for Win2K/WinXP/Win2003/WinXP 64bits/Win2003 64bits.
For example,
A:\amd64
\x32
txtsetup.oem"
Well, my power supply does not have a connector for a floppy drive, which is why I was installing the RAID drivers with a slipstreamed XP CD. However, in the actual .zip file, there is no "floppy" folder! There are 4 subdirectories: Application, Driver, Floppy32 and Floppy64. The Driver directory has 2 subdirectories: amd64 and x32. I didn't understand whether I was supposed to use the files in the Driver/x32 folder, or the ones in the Floppy32 folder.
I ended up slipstreaming the files from the Floppy32 folder because it seemed to make the most sense according to the instructions. However, I noticed both in nLite and when Windows was actually preparing setup that multiple RAID drivers were found in and loaded from this directory, whereas in the Driver/x32 folder, nLite detected only one set of RAID drivers. Did I use the wrong directory to get the JMicron RAID drivers when I made the slipstreamed XP CD? Or do you think there is a different problem?

Problem with MSI 975x Platinum based new build

I am having what looks like a familiar issue with setting up a new build PC. Spec is as follows:
MSI 975x Platinum edition MOBO
Intel Core Duo 2 e6600 CPU
Western Digital Raptor 150GB S150 16mb 10000rpm SATA drive
Corsair Memory TWIN2X2048-6400 2x1GB 240-Pin DIMM XMS2-6400 CL5
SONY DVD-RW
The problem comes when trying to install Windows XP on the single SATA drive (I don't want a RAID array - mainly as I only have 1 hard drive!).
I press F6 as instructed to install the SATA drive - I have created a disk with the necessary driver files from the MSI website.
Based on other posts I have seen I have put all the files except "txtsetup.oem" in another folder on the floppy (either "\win_XP" or "\winXP"). However I still get the same error message:
"file \x32\jraid.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2108 in d:\xpspl\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c"
I am beginning to think I can't install XP to a SATA drive. Can anyone help with this? Is there an "official" driver floppy disk I can get from MSI in exactly the right format?
Alternatively is it worthwhile buying a small standard IDE drive and installing XP to that to get me going and then install the SATA drive once XP is going? Would it then be possible to shift XP onto the faster SATA drive?
Thanks

if you using 1 sata drive you dont set it up as a raid , in the sata options set it up as ide enhanced also in this mode no need for pressing f6 just make sure that the sata is set to 1st boot hdd , if you using 1 sata and 1 ide hdd and tring to isntall on the sata disconnect the ide hdd because it will mess with your drive letters in windows ... if you goin raid ( achi mode is only for sata 2 drives with NCQ = native command queing and your drives have to support this mode ) then in the sata drives portion set it to raid ( achi if your drives support it ) in the force part set it to force gen 1 ( for sata 1 drives ) force gen 2 ( for sata 2 drives ) then you will need to set up the raid config in the intel raid config ( its the next post screen telling you press CTRL+I ) set it up reboot reneter bios set hdd priority to intel raid 0 then intsall windows but press f6 ... yes i ran it 2 ways single sata drive and now raided 80's in raid 0 ( i dont have NCQ support yet )

Hard drive problems with 975X Platinum edition

Hi guys.
I was wondering if you could help.
I recently upgraded my pc after the power supply was shot on my old one, I decided it was time I did a big update anyway, as it was using non pci express etc.
I plumped for the 975X Platinum complete with Samsung DVD writer, nividia 8800GTX and two Western Digital SATA II drive, a 250GB for my 'C' drive and a 500GB for my 'D' drive.
Everything went in fine, install Vista Premium perfectly, I copied across my documents I'd backed up onto an external drive onto the 'D' drive no problems...however, after downloading some Vista updates, I went to do a reboot, and it hung during POST.
After much frustration the D-thingy lights were showing it was halting during the IDE Controller initialisation. By a process of elimination, I discovered the bios won't get through POST while the 500GB 'D' is connected.
I've checked that it's not the SATA cable, the power cable, the SATA socket on the motherboard...but it just will not start up with that drive hooked up. However, if I starting Vista without the 'D' connected, then connect it while it's running (yes, I know I shouldn't really do this), do a scan for new hardware, the drive starts up mounts itself as 'D' and works happy as anything.
Could you tell me if there's some configuration I have wrong in the BIOS, or is this just simply a faulty hard drive??? As far as I know I have everything set up in BIOS correctly, such as having SATA set to IDE and not RAID etc...but I guess I could have missed something.
Any help you can offer would be much appreciate...before I decide to just send the hard drive back and hope it is that, and not something I'm overlooking.

Sorry, yeah, I got a little carried away and excited.
The problem I noticed using the Western Digital tool was that it was seeing both the drives as the 'C' drive, so obviously on booting with them both connected, it was getting into a mess.
I have no idea if I should have done this in the first place, but, when I put it all together, on the main board, there appears to be one SATA connector that's set on it's own, under the others. I'd used that for the DVD writer and placed the hard drive ones all together. So I just swapped the 'C' hard drive into the lone connection, and put the DVD Writer and 'D' drive into the ones that are clumped together. It seemed to boot up fine, then using the Western Digital tool again, set up the 'D' drive.
I've had no problems since.
I always thought that SATA was just plug it in, and it sorts itself out...so dunno if I should have done that in the first place. I'm still getting used to the newer stuff...I've made do with none PCI Express and IDE for ages now.
It must have been me setting it up wrong in the first place I guess.

975X Platinum USB Problem

Hi,
I've had my system running in its current configuration for just over a year now and it has been perfectly fine and very stable. Yesterday I noticed when I plugged my USB headset in it didn't work, on investigation I discovered that no USB devices were working.
I unplugged all devices from the machine and have performed tests with 2 devices, one is my mobile phone which shows me that all the ports are powered, as the phone will charge off any of them. The second test with a flash drive, the light on the flash drive flickers when it is plugged in and out, but does not stay on like you would expect and the device is not detected.
Also if I put the flash drive in a port while the machine is switched off and turn it on, the device is then detected.
I have checked the pin 10 issue on both of the external connectors I have plugged in and neither of these have anything connected to this pin.
The other thing I notice is that in the device manager (I am running windows Vista 32) I under USB Devices I now have an "Unknown Device". Whether this was there before or not I cannot say.
As I said earlier the machine has been perfectly fine for definite up to a couple of days ago as I was syncing my iPod with the machine quite happily.
Does anyone have any clues as to what the problem could be ? Is it just the board giving up because it's out of warranty and the powers that be hate me ?
Also if someone else is using this board under Vista 32 could I see a screen grab of their USB Devices section of device manager to see if my unknown device is an important missing component ?
Machine Specs;
975X Platinum Powerup Edition
Intel Core2 Duo 6400
MSI Radion x9500 Pro
SB Audigy 2
2 x WD 250gb SATA HDs
1 x PATA DVD Writer
Akasa ATX 2.2 PFC 400 watt.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Neil.

Oh well, it that solves your problem.....................
A good psu is a must...... now you are placing strain on another area...............
It wasn't really done to solve the problem, more just to illusatrate a point to myself. What is really bothering me is the whole inconsistancy of the problem. Plug an extra card in and that isn't stressing the system, but the onboard stuff is, it doesn't sound overly logical to me.
Not that I'm disregarding the advice given, and come the magic credit card date (all spent out with a holiday this month ) then I'll get a power supply, but I like to know the why's and wherefores, and I'm just struggling to see why something as small in power consuption as USB is failing and yet things like HDs and gfx cards which require much more power are not having any issues.

PROBLEM SOLVED--CS5 WIN7 X64 INSTALL ERROR DEPENDENCY FAILURE

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just spent 9 hours straight on this, but will was stronger than "its". Now I have both cs4 and cs5, but hopefully it will work if you just have cs5 as well. I also did not try runnning cs5 installer first after implementing the fix, maybe that will work too..And when getting the cs5 error, I went to re-install cs4 but got an error as well so that is why I took the steps I did. On 7x64 do the followin
First run the cs5 cleanup tool and reboot.
Second, go into c:\program file(x86)\common files\adobe\installers . Delete everything in it
Then go into you registry (start, run, then type regedit) and expand to this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\ Components ...(if this isnt there, try an install again, then go to the folder that you deleted the files from a moment ago and extract the log from the zip file and open it and go to the end. where it says error 1402 will be followed by a unknown\components\(a bunch of numebers right here)\(more numbers) ...
Copy the numbers directly after the components\ and go back into registry and click edit then "find" paste those numbers into the box and hit find..when you get to the key, scroll ALL the way back up to components again. Right click components and hit permissions.. Go to advanced and then the ownership tab up top.. click edit, hightlight administrator(s), check the box to "replace subcontainers" and click apply. respond yes to everything and close that and hit apply again if asked. then click the add button above the advanced button you just clicked. when the new box appears, click advanced and then click find now. Highlight Administrators and SYSTEM and hit OK. Then give both of them full rights and hit apply. Then click advanced again and in the first window check the box that says "replace all child objects...." and hit apply. accept the prompts and hit okay.
Now go into c:\windows and on the system32 folder, right click and go to properties. Go to the security tab. Click advanced and then "owner" and click edit. highlght administrators and check the box "replace all child object....." again and hit apply....
Now give Administrators, SYSTEM, AND TrustedInstaller full rights by clicking edit above the advanced tab in the first properties box.. Then click advanced again and in the first window click replace all child object....." again and hit apply....
Now do the same for the winsxs folder and (for good measure i did syswow64 but not sure if its necessary)...
Now you should be able to install both versions..(as i said, I installed cs4 first, maybe it was not necessary)...
If you dont like the idea of just blindly giving administrators full rights to all system folders, you can spend MANY MANY hours running the installs over and over and getting the faulty registry value that caused it to fail and create specific permissions for that and then go on to the next value that fails......what a pain

Thank you for this.
I have been trying to install CS5 MC now for weeks. I first got it to install everything except After Effects and Premiere Pro. Then trying to follow all the suggestions on this forum I wound up not being able to install any part of it at all. Now..
Well...following your kind suggestions as much to the letter as I could I have now been able to install everything...except Affter Effects and Premiere Pro. Sigh.
At least I can get back to work on everything that doesn't require AE and PPro. I still need to get them installed and working.

975X Platinum PUE problem

I'm building a system round the 975X Platinum power up edition, using an Asus ATI X1600Pro 512MB PCI-E Graphics card, Intel PentiumD 945 3.4ghz Lga775 Fsb800 2 X 2m, Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 667MHz/PC2-5400 RAM and Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB SATA II 7200RPM 16MB Cache - OEM. On first boot up, I got no video signal and after a couple of minutes the machine just shut down and I couldn't get it to reboot. Have I got a compatibility problem and if so what with?

MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp and Areca arc-1220 problem

intel e6600 core duo
975x platinum powerup
2x kingston ddr2 PC6400 800Mhz CL5 Dual Channel Kit (KVR800D2N5K2⁄2G)
Sapphire ATI X1950XTX 512MB

i have an ati radeon 1950xtx in my first pcie slot and the arc 1220 (sata raid)in the second pcie slot.
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
