BIOS for 694D Pro V1.0 [MS-6321] WHICH ONE? HELP?

Motherboard says 694D Pro V1.0. Board has Promise ATA 100 Raid Controller and sound.
BIOS version displayed on BOOT is W6321MS V3.0 092900
{I upgraded BIOS successfully initially as Windows XP would not load without the BIOS upgrade.
System is running fine except that it just doesn't seem to like any Adaptec SCSI card I put in it [Card and System says everything is fine but devices don't work well at all.
And to complicate matters, I've got a USB 2.09 card in it and a SIIG PCI ATA 133 card in it too.
On boot I get the following errors in the SYSTEM Event log
AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to write to an illegal IO port address (0xcf8), which lies in the 0xcf8 - 0xcff protected address range. This could lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.
AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO port address (0xcfc), which lies in the 0xcf8 - 0xcff protected address range. This could lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.
Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 00D0B720C465.  The following error occurred:
The semaphore timeout period has expired. . Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.
The NEC PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller service failed to start due to the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
The NATCAP service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.
So, first I upgraded the BIOS on the SIIG PCI ATA 133 IDE card and this appeared to go away. but it camr back. Suspecting the SCSI card I tried another one and even removed it, still the same errors.
So I went for the motherboard BIOS upgrade as w6321vms.370 indicates it corrects an ACPI error in Windows XP.
Problem is, the flash BIOS app says this is not the right BIOS for my board.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT BIOS IS?? Or have a clue?
HELP!

The easy part: The ACPI error messages turn out to be Microsofts's way of dealing with older motherboard BIOS that use AMLI direct hardware reads and writes. In XP the came up with _OSI The error message is a non event. XP blocks the read or write and all is OK as XP does what the read or write was trying to do.
So, to make it co away, [cosmetic] one needs a BIOS upgrade and we're back to the question....WHICH BIOS IS RIGHT FOR THIS MOTHERBOARD? {So many BIOS choices, so little clear information.....]
The other NAVCAP boo-boo looks like innocous garbage like the errors you get when you try to remove Real player 8 and it fails.
RAID controller is active and working. SIIG ATA133IDE controller is active and working. NEC USB is active and working inspite of the error message. No SCSI card in right now but it wasn't working before. [That could be a whole 'nother problem though.]
MORE IDEAS? KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHICH BIOS IS WHICH?
and thanks for the input.

    Only you can make that determination. All things being equal the 2.5 GHz model is slower.

  • I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money? Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound? Will I need adaptors and a interface?

    I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money?
    Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound?
    Will I need adaptors and an interface?
    Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
    I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
    Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
    The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
    I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
    I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.

  • WinXP problems with MSI 694D Pro v1.0 (MS-6321)

     
    Greetings, i have some serious problems with WinXP install with my "brand new" MSI 694D Pro, PCB Rev 1.0 motherboard.
    Running with one cpu is just fine, installation and inside windows it's completly stable after chaning a few leaking caps.
    However, if running with both cpus I have serious problems installing as well as running Windows.
    Once I manged to get in, and then it was 100% 2xPrime95 stable for 6hours.
    Latest BIOS, no issues with ram etc.
    I narrowed the problem down (I think) to the ACPI identification of the secondary processor on startup. Is this a known problem to v1.0 PCB's of this board, is there a workaround, can one set the ACPI ID manually.
    I'd prefer to run WinXP Pro SP1 on this computer, and sure hope I will not have to be forced to Win 2000 Pro for this issue.
    Does anyone have any tips or workarounds?
    Specs;
    MSI 694D Pro (MS-6321) with latest BIOS that's supposed to fix WinXP issues
    2x512 133mhz SDRAM doublesided
    2x866/133 256mb cache Coppermine w matching stepping
    More then enough cooling
    HEC 400w PSU
    A handfull of HDD's and a few optical units.
    WinXP Pro (early release without any SP on install), don't recall build atm sorry.
    So far I have tried with diffrent ram, diffrent BIOS's, diffrent PSU's, inside and outside the case, Memtest86 error free, a horseload of diffrent BIOS settings, minimum hardware installed and most things in diffrent compinations.
    I'm a hardware geek and is well versed in those checklists so I don't think I have missed anything and is pretty convinced that the other hardware is working as it should, I'm pretty lame on OS handeling thou.
    Anyone?

    Everything was just fine once I was in WinXP, thats where I ran Prime95  ... But I only managed that once, I havn't managed to replicate that.
    That once I installed with once CPU and the added then second one then rebooted. Realy wierd that I can't replicate that...
    EDIT;
    Some clarification

  • How to install the new BIOS for Satellite Pro M50 running Ubuntu

    I am running Ubuntu on my Pro M50. Could someone advise me what the latest BIOS is and how to install it?
    The BIOS upgrade site here seems to havean exe file but I couldn't see the BIOS file within?
    Thanks

    Why do you want to update the BIOS?!
    Do you have any big troubles with your notebook?!
    The Toshiba European driver page provides BIOS for XP and BIOS for Vista.
    Both BIOS versions must be executed while the operating system is running!
    If you use the Linux on your notebook, you will be not able to update the BIOS!!!
    Do you understand?
    Once again; The BIOS update should be done ONLY if its absolutely necessary. In other case dont update it!

  • I bought the wrong version as I need it for macbook pro but somehow bought windows...help

    I guess I will have to wait until normal office hours.  I have no idea why it bought the window version as I did not realize that is what was selected.  I hope I can get it exchanged for the photoshop elements 13 for macbook pro retina display.     Anyone know if this is an easy switch and one they will do?

    When buying HD versions of shows, only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes, though. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.

  • ACPI Compliant BIOS for Satellite Pro A30

    Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A30 which has 1GB RAM and P4 2.8GHZ CPU. I was wondering when toshiba would be supplying ACPI compliant BIOS upgrades for these machines? Because I would like to upgrade to Windows Vista, upon running the Vista Upgrade Advisor, my machine will run Windows Vista Business, but I just want to use Windows Vista Basic.
    So I began the upgrade from within Windows XP and once the machine re-booted to begin the Vista installation I was confronted with the Blue Screen, stating that my BIOS wasn't fully ACPI compatible.
    This seems like such a shame as the machine is upto running Vista, but Toshiba have not provided ACPI bios upgrades. My bios revision is 1.80.
    Any idea?

    Hi Keith,
    I have an A30 also, after Googling around I've found that the A30 is ACPI 1.0 compliant and Vista requires ACPI 2.0, there is little difference and there are workarounds published on the net but they seem too complicated for me. The websites I've read think it is unlikely Tosh will release an updated BIOS as they would rather users upgraded their computers.
    I've been to the BIOS (Phoenix) makers website and followed a link to BIOS agent. They informed me they haven't produced an upgraded BIOS yet but I should try again in 6 months.
    I hope this helps a little, if I find anything constructive out I'll post it.

  • For Macbook pro Retina and Macbook Air Users Please Help

    Hi
    i Want Ask Macbook pro Retina and Macbook Air Users how use this macs both ( Only how use  both )
    we sit many hours on laptop that will hurt our eyes
    what the macbook less strain on eyes
    what the best macbook screen not hurt our eyes
    sorry my english is not good but i hope you understand me
    i want only users how use the both of this macs
    thank you

    People are different.  Not everyone experiences eye strain with an LED/LCD screen, or with a retina screen or any other kind of screen.  Some people do.
    So no one here can possibly say how you will feel using either one - everyone is different.
    You need to find some display models or something and try them yourself and see what you like and how you feel using them.  Anything anyone here has experienced is immaterial - all that matters is what you expereince and we cannot predict that for you.
    I stare at computer screens all day long, and have done so for many, many years now.  I've never had a problem with matte LCD, glossy LCD (like my MBP), CRT, plasma or page white.  About the only problem I've ever had is occasionally dry eye, since everyone tends to blink less when concentrating on anything backlit for long periods of time.  Simple artificial tears deals with that, and just learning to stagger regular breaks.

  • Seagate backup for macbook pro is messed up! (please read & help!)

    So my computer was full because I had basically all of my space full of picutres. I bought a 1TB external Seagate hard drive and backed up my whole computer to the external hard drive. (took about 6 hours) I went to double check the hard drive and make sure that everything backed up properly, and it doesn't look like anything backed up at all. It says that I have 858.88 GB available of space... so it doesn't appear to have anything BUT when i click on my iPhoto on my actual computer, it says "The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library.  Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another library." There are no other libraries to choose from and all of my pictures have disappeared (at least it looks that way).... I have no idea what to do. Please Help!
    **edit**
    when I unplug my external hard drive I can open iPhoto normally? How can I drag and drop to make sure that everything transfers?

    of course. but when i open the little explorer deal icon, its not even reading that i have an mp3 player connected. but it is connected to my USB port

  • I tunes is asking me the pascode for the flie security code please tell which one is the number thanks

    i tunes is aking the ublock passcode for the file security code a soon as i connect my phone but i dont know what number is how can i fin it or figure it out please help me

    If you don't remember the passcode lock that you set for your iPhone, there is no option to find it or figure it out for you. If this were possible, there wouldn't be any point in having the security feature in the first place.
    The only way around this is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes on your computer used for syncing your iPhone by placing your iPhone into recovery mode.

  • Is there a Safari extension (or plug-in) for Acrobat Pro?

    Is there a Safari extension (or plug-in) for Acrobat Pro? I use to have one, then when I updated to the new Yosemite operating system, it disappeared.

    For Acrobat Pro? I don't really understand. You don't typically *edit* PDFs in a browser.
    Note that Acrobat Reader is totally unnecessary on OS X. I'd recommend avoiding it. If you are creating PDFs, or doing advanced features that make it worth spending hundreds of dollars, then Acrobat Pro may make sense, but otherwise, just use Preview.

    What is best track pad for Mac Pro laptop with mountain lion

    Honestly, the one right in front of your keyboard. It's hard to do better than that one, and the Magic Trackpad is just an external duplicate of that. In fact, my dad has one for his iMac, and I seem to recall that there are one or two things I can do with my built-in trackpad that he can't do with his Magic Trackpad... though my faulty memory means I couldn't tell you what those things are at this point.
