BIOS Post Error Beeps on P7N Diamond

Hello. I have had this board for a few days now. I was playing a windows game and got a BSOD after a few minutes. The PC rebooted and I noticed the BIOS Post beeps were different. Before this there was just one long beep, which my research tells me that everything is ok. Now when I boot up I get 3 beeps ... 1 long, followed by 2 short. I researched this as well and found the following in my situation. According to AMI BIOS Beep Codes:
1 long, 2 short - Failure in video system An error was encountered in the video BIOS ROM, or a horizontal retrace failure has been encountered.
I'm not sure what this means exactly. It suggests 2 possible errors. Does this mean my video card is bad (8800GTS 512MB)? I have no idea what the second possible error ... retrace failure ... means. I am hoping that you might shed some light on this. Much appreciated.

I also get the faint short beeps after the initial louder long beep but I never associated this with usb devices or really attached any significance to it.
UPDATE: Ram MEMTEST86+ for 8 hours - no errors.
Replaced the USB keyboard connector with normal keyboard - and using a single tethered USB mouse - get 1 beep on startup.
Put in USB keyboard - get two beeps on startup.
Put in USB remote wireless mouse and get 3 beeps on startup....
Conclusion: Beeps seem to be USB related not error related.
Sierra2 below- the office deskietop being refurbished...
Added USB extension cable to link to the Dell Screen; and then connected a other couple of UBS devices to the three open ports on the board and one to the Screen [Screen is not USD2 - other ports are USB2]
Apacer MultiCard Reader
Wireless Mouse
Wireless Keyboad and
an extra USB [tethered] mouse.
All was fine until I added the 5th USB device - and then thought it was just missing the mouse driver - but on reboot - heard a few more beeps [didnt listen that closely post midnight] and got various stops eventually getting through to WIN. Then it went bellyup unstable and kept rebooting - unpredictably and intermittently but within 5 to 10 min of each windows adventure.
Removed all but the wireless keboard and the tethered mouse - and it has settled down - but am now getting three short beeps at the start. In setting this up yesterday - no beeps at all with a USB mouse and standard keyboard connector. Sound at start is maybe one beep and two short ones or three short ones - neither of us listening can tell. I guess I need to hook up the case speaker as the board speaker is pretty small.
AMI BIOS beeps diagnostix says it is likely a faulty RAM error on 2 or 3 beeps
But now, seeing this about the P7N Diamond, I am beginning to wonder if it is a USB related issue. Maybe too many USB devices. P4M900 has 2 x 2ports. Just wondering if adding more than 4 USD devices really cause unstability?? Will run MEMTEST86+ on the RAM this evening to check. Totally wierd- especially for a supposedly stable and simple board... Thanks for any ideas... k2

Bios Post error message K9N sli AMD 64x2

I have just built as per my profile below.
After POST, and before entering the Windows load, I get this error message.
"Not enough space in Runtime area!!. SMBIOS data will not be available."
I had great difficulty loading drivers from the CD supplied with the board, as the menu did not display the full list of options. I assume this is because the SMBIOS data did not properly indicate board, procesor and operating system detail?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All is fixed..
Thank you all for your kind help and interest in the problems of a complete stranger. It just shows how wonderful these forums are. Thank you.
I flashed the BIOS to rev 1.3. this updated and cleared NVram etc.
Flashing was a nightmare.
I had to create a win 98 boot disk, but It would not recognise NTFS drives. Noting the warning not to flash from floppies, I then burnt a CD with the new BIOS, and addressed the CD from a boot floppy with win98 cd drivers.

P7n diamond - no bios - 2 of them - fun troubleshooter

Hello,
I write fun troubleshooter because I went so far as to try my friends "working for years" Asus P5B-Plus mobo and CPU and RAM and had same results...
Specs: P7n Diamond - OCZ GameXstream 700W PSU - E8400 Wolfdale - G.Skill 4gb RAM (2x2) - MSI NX8800GT 512mb OC - 2 Sata WD HDDs - 2 Sata DVD drives
The Story:
I get my supplies from newegg and built it, it turns on (gives CMOS Checksum Error) but then enters bios..... then I get random freeze-ups (even in bios) that were fixed by manually setting my ram to its default timings and low end of voltage. This fixes it enough to allow me to install Vista 64 business. I get everything running happily and play HL2/TF2 games for about a week before it starts locking up more and more frequently. my USB mouse would die in game and the mouse lights/laser would turn off before the system just froze about 10 secs later... So I decide it could be a Vista issue and so I setup a dual-boot with XP-32. It seems to fix the freeze-ups before about 5 days later it starts freezing in XP too. I ran memtest for 6+ hours with zero errors (albeit it did give me memtest errors when i used bios auto timings for ram)... During the freeze-up issues I went from bios 1.0 to 1.16 to rule that out..... didnt fix it. It ended up getting to the point where I was freezing before windows XP or Vista even loaded... so I RMA'd the p7n diamond.
Receive my 2nd p7n diamond and got it in.. It boots to Vista before freezing 2min later.. same with XP.. mouse stopped working after even just surfing IE. then it hard locks... one time I did get the (PFN_LIST_CORUPT) BSOD... but its not consistent.. most freeze-ups just hard lock it with no BSOD. I get immediately frustrated and try throwing my friends 4 (1gb) sticks of PNY DDR2-667 in the machine... turn it on and it doesnt boot to bios at all/nor give any beep codes.. re-throw my DDR2-800 back in and again.. not even an attempt to show bios - i turn it on and nothing comes up on the monitor (the monitor just flashes waiting for a signal).. So I try more troubleshooting. Disconnected EVERYTHING but one stick of ram and the graphics card... same result - no post.... swapped ram, even tried taking the graphics card out.. no beep codes... I then assume its a bad CPU and try my friends working-for-years E6300 core-duo chip.... same result-no bios..
Then I figure - it has to be 2 bad p7n diamond mobos.. So i try my friends Asus P5b-Plus with my E8400 CPU... turn it on.. SAME result!! no bios or beep codes.. i'm thinking now bad PSU and its frying Mobos on contact?? Odd because both p7n diamonds gave me perfect on-board LED readouts when plugged in and turned on (and on standby).. All peripheral cards lit-up fine... and my friends p5b-plus also had the red light showing it was getting power.... Is it possible a PSU that worked for 2 weeks relative fine all of a sudden fry things?
so I go to best buy and buy an Antec 650W PSU to rule it out.. same result! no bios...... the main frustration is I was using the system for about 2 weeks relatively fine and now all of a sudden things seem to "fry" on contact..
Anyway, I RMA'd this p7n diamond, and the OCZ 700W PSU to try new ones... I was just looking for opinions on what could be the problem.. I mean as it looks.. either the PSU was frying motherboards yet still lights their LEDs up.. or my E8400 CPU is ruining the motherboard?? or my RAM went bad after being OK?
some questions - when I get my new setup - im going to plug it in paranoidly...... Can I power up the system with no RAM sticks in it at all?? I just want to make sure RAM wasnt causing the mobo to short out? Is it possible the GPU is frying the mobo? Could my Antec 900 case wires be causing this? I feel since I tried so many diff combinations its the one thing thats staying consistent??
Thanks in advance!!
-mike

Mike...when you get it back...run it outside the case, just the bare essentials, lay the MB on a non-conductive surface (the foam packing works fine.) If it boots up and works normally..start checking your case for extra MB standoff pins that you may have left in..they will short the board. If it still has a problem out of the case w/ minimum components...then you can start troubleshooting components. This is the way to start. G/luck.

New build; P7N Diamond won't POST

I ran a few searches and couldn't come up with anything conclusive. Yes, I did read the sticky BIOS error codes and it didn't help. I powered on the PC for the first time, and all I get is a constant beep that never stops. Needless to say the PC doesn't POST. Anyone know what the continuous beep error code is exactly?
All connections have been verified and re-plugged to ensure proper contact. I'm questioning the processor, or the power supply. Any assistance or advice is greatly appreciated.
Specifics below:

Have you tested each video card seperately in the primary PCIE slot?
Have you tested each memory module seperately in all memory slots?
Did you double-check all power connections (especially 4/8-Pin +12V CPU)?
I have checked each video card in the primary slots as well as both in the other blue x16 slot. No change
I have checked each memory stick in each of the slots. No change
Quote from: Fadamor on 24-May-08, 03:56:48
The P7N Diamond uses an 8-pin +12V CPU power connector near the top-rear of the computer. I had to use an extender to get my 8-pin powersupply plug to reach.
All power connectors are indeed plugged in, the 24 pin as well as the 8pin for the CPU. THe board is laying on my desk at the moment in a bare bones config outside the case. The 8pin connector will reach, allbeit barely. I'd just like to see some output before I worry about making the inside of the case neat and tidy.
Keep the suggestions coming please. I'd rather make this work than start RMA-ing various components.

P7N-Diamond fails to even P.O.S.T/unable to enter the BIOS

Hi,everybody out there......Recently purchased a P7n-Diamond mobo hoping to build a gaming rig.Alas..upon connecting all the necessary peripherals and powering up the system....there is no displat...no beep.Tried a barebone test with intel q6600,corsair 1gb ram and a zotac nvidia 8800gt card...yes the psu is coolermaster 1000watts.Upon powering up it is seen that all the fans are spinning smoothly...little leds are all glowing....no beep is heard....no display is seen.....no P.O.S.T..........cannot enter the BIOS hence.
Any angel out there with helping hands please

Quote from: comp-novice on 04-August-08, 23:39:49
Tried outside the cabinet also...cleared the cmos...tried to boot only with cpu cooler.an8800gt card ,1gb ram( Corsair ).Same case...No..post ..
Even tried with the same configuration in my spare P5n-e sli mobo there it posted fine.
Beginning to feel that the mobo is defective.
"tried to boot only with cpu cooler"
You need a CPU as well
Can you try with different PSU too?
Also check mainboard CPU socket for bent-ed pins

P7N Diamond rarely POST's

Hello all!! I’m having a problem with my PC booting. I had a stable PC for about 8 months (see sig below). Then I changed my video cards from dual PNY 9800 GX2’s to dual BFG 285 GTX OCX cards. Unfortunately I had some problems with the BFG cards and had to keep RMA-ing one of them (this is a long story). Regardless, the cards are fine now and the problem was corrected (this was a problem with the card(s) NOT my system).
Anyhow, along the way my system stopped POST-ing. I turn the system on, the lights go on, the fans whirl and I can hear drives spinning up but nothing else. I can do a hard re-start and the system will eventually turn on after 2 – 10+ attempts. If I reset the CMOS using the back button (with or without PSU plugged in) it turns right on BUT I have to reconfigure everything.
I’ve tried a TON of things in troubleshooting this thing and nothing works. I’ve tried reinstalling the BIOS and even that didn’t work. I didn’t do the BIOS update in DOS, I did it through Windows with some software. I would like to do the DOS install but I can’t my system to boot to a USB (I used the program I found on this website- the USB prep tool… I only get some sort of “NO MSI Product installed” error)
I’ve changed the battery on the board (twice) with no luck either. Checked all my connections, etc… My BIOS settings are all standard, no overclocking. The only thing I have going is RAID.
Needless to say, I’m running out of ideas… any suggestions
Thanks in advance for any help!!

First point that needs to be stressed is it's a safe practice to avoid updating any BIOS while in Windows. In fact, you should never attempt flashing BIOS from within Windows, and you probably should just uninstall MSI LiveUpdate. MSI should go so far as to discontinue it for the sake of all users. On the bright side, it looks like your BIOS update succeeded without issues (system is not bricked).

My BIOS settings are all standard, no overclocking. The only thing I have going is RAID.
When you say BIOS settings are all standard, does this mean you manually set each parameter to a "standard" setting? Did you perform a CMOS reset after flashing BIOS? Did you enter the BIOS/CMOS menu and invoke the "Load Optimized Defaults" or "Load Fail-Safe Defaults" option? Could you please list the current values in your Cell Menu? Ironically, the P7N Diamond has a reputation for misbehaving under "default" parameters. With the earlier BIOS versions, many users have reported needing to apply a slight overclock (at minimum) in order to have stable POST and operation. It seems counter-intuitive that stressing the mobo would improve the operation stability, but that was the story. I'm still using a 1.2beta BIOS, so don't know if the more recent versions have addressed this. But it would be useful to know what parameters your system is trying to POST with (examples in my signature).

MOBO: MSI P7N Diamond (1.3 BIOS)
CPU: E8500 Wolfdale Core 2 Duo @3.16 GHz (no OC… yet)
RAM: 8 GB OCZ Reaper 8500 (@ 800MHz not 1066MHz)
VID: BFG 285 GTX OCX (X2 SLI)
HDD: 4 Seagate Barracuda 500G 32M 7200 RPM Raid 0
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate Edition x64
CASE: Antec Nine Hundred
PSU: 1300 Watt (I can’t remember the name, shame on me!)
Lastly, could you provide some more detailed specs on your PSU? The 1300W sounds impressive, but sheer wattage doesn't necessarily imply a sufficient PSU. This is especially relevant for a system with dual 285GTX cards, 8GB RAM, and 4xSATA hdd. In particular please state how many +12V rails your PSU has and the maximum amps per each rail, max amps combined for all rails, and max amps total (for all voltages). My concern here is that the real root of your problem may be related to the PSU. You stated that the system ran perfectly before you replaced your previous video cards. I'm wondering if the new cards are over straining your PSU and causing intermittent issues at POST. Do you have 4pin ATX or 8pin EPS power connected to your mobo?

MSI P7N Diamond - New PC Build - Need Help Posting

I just finished connecting my P7N Diamond out of the case and powered on my new build for the first time and saw BIOS version, HDD information, and the bad checksum message on the screen. I also saw the "Press DEL to enter BIOS" and the "F2 To Continue" messages.
Pressing the DEL key on the keyboard resulted in nothing happening at all. I soon realized that the keyboard wasn't responding and I had no num lock light at all after pressing the Num Lock key multiple times. I started with a generic, USB keyboard and then swapped keyboards to an older, still working one I had with a PS/2 connector.
Still no keyboard lights but magically it entered BIOS after I plugged it in the PS/2 socket and immediately asked if I wanted to exit BIOS without saving. Pressing the "Y" key did nothing. Pressing <ESC> did nothing. The keyboard seemed frozen.
I pressed the RESET button on the motherboard and this caused a re-boot but now with a black screen (no messages at all). I powered it down, removed the power cords and then pressed the "clear CMOS" button. Re-connected the power cords and powered it on; but still a black screen. Powered it down, removed the power cords and removed the battery for 1 minute (I even pressed the clear CMOS button again). Re-connected the power cords, powered it up and still have a black screen.
I know this is the place where all the experts hang out, so any help will be appreciated.

Just an update...
New build is working very well at this point.
I've set the voltage in BIOS to 2.1 for the memory and installed Vista Ultimate, updated it via Windows Update site, applied the memory patch. I've discovered that I have a bad stick of memory as no matter what slot I place this one stick of memory in, the PC fails to post, so I'm running with 3x1GB sticks. I've ordered new memory that should be here today; Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX.
The only problem I've encountered thus far is with one of my NVIDIA RAID arrays in "Degraded" status (mirror broken). This happened after I had applied the latest MS patches and a re-boot. I didn't suspect a HDD failure because the drives are new and the status of each drive was displaying as HEALTHY. I did my research on this site and discovered the solution which was to delete one of the two drives (I chose the one with the least amount of data) from the array and then added it back into the same array. The re-build took about 2 hours (they are 400GB Segate drives) and now it's working as advertised. I suspect a software problem caused this as one of the two drives was showing that it had less data (used) than the other drive.
My next steps are to install the new memory, test it with memtest86+ and then begin the OC ritual.
Thanks again for your help, Jason and Aaron Yuri.

P6n diamond - error beeps and freezing

Ok so I have had the MSI p6n diamond since july. Since the beginning I couldn't buff the Anti Aliasing to more than 4x or else my game would (whole pc) freeze up with the sound also freezing. So I just didn't buff it. Recently I started getting problems. No matter what I am doing, my PC freezes up. If it is in a game the sound gets freeze choppy, you know what I mean, no matter at what settings I play it. Then the whole PC started freezing up like this. It is working, but not doing anything, just being on. And the image on the monitor is frozen. Is it possible to be the mouse, because I sometimes have to change the usb slot of the mouse when it goes to sleep? So the only way to use the PC after a freeze, is to restart via the button on the case. But then sometimes, an odd thing happens. I get this 5-10 second continuous beep from the start which then has a 1 second pause and again the long beep. I tried searching in the manual and on the intranetz, but all the info was different and the only error thing connected in the manual was the LED codes. And when the beep is on, the led codes are nothing out of the ordinary. Basically it wont go through the intitial beep when the pc is turned on. So i restart it a few times, just getting the beep, or getting a blank screen and nothing happening. Then the same stuff happens, if I go into bios, it will sometimes freeze there, so that leads me to think that It is not the Windows, which i installed over 3 times (fresh installs). I defragmented the hard drive a few times using O&O defrag. Basically I am out of options. Help would be appreciated a lot.
p6n diamond
inno3d nvidia 8600GT
Dual core e6320
PS Maybe it is a voltage issue? It is at auto voltage, but maybe I should change it? Everything is at auto voltage btw. What should the voltages be?
Basically what error beeps mean would be the greatest help you could give me. But only for this mobo specifically. I want to know in which part of my pc the problem is.

"Then the same stuff happens, if I go into bios, it will sometimes freeze there"
It looks like PSU fault..Try with better PSU.. Good suggestions can be found here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=112039.msg836246#msg836246
Also check CPU cooling system, re-seat CPU and apply new thermal paste(but not too much)

K7N2 Delta2 - Barton 3200+ reboots and fails to post with error beep

I recently upgraded to a K7N2 Delta2 with a 3200+ Barton CPU, 1 GB Corsair 3200 RAM and a Geforce6600 AGP. After having numerous power/cooling problems I went out and got an Antec TruePower 430 and installed another fan in the back of the case, after which I still saw insufficient power to the NIC and CPU. After removing the 6600 and replacing it with my old Geforce 4 Ti 4600, things ran smoothly for a couple of days. Last night however, (after a particularly long period of gaming) the system shut down and then failed to post, giving me a repeated error beep. I let it cool down, reset the CMOS jumpers, and swapped out the new RAM with an older Corsair 512 DIMM. The system posted with "CMOS defaults loaded". I thought great, it's my RAM, I'll just shut it down, plug everything back in, and game for a couple hours before Circuit City opens. The second time I tried to boot however, it failed to post, but no error beep this time.

Did your board come with the d-led bracket and if it did which led's light up with what color and in what sequence? also go into you profile and create a sig listing all system specs similar to mine.
Try holding down the insert key while you power it up. If it loads, it'll be at default settings and you'll need to reset everything in the bios.
OOps, just noticed you sig but it still needs all hardware listed including all cd, dvd, and hard drives, how many case fans, etc.

P7N Diamond, Bios P07, QX9650, 8GB PC-8500 problem

Read through main fo the topics in this forum, and tried to identify similar problems, but seem not to be successful.
P7N Diamond board, with the nwest beta P07 bios.
QX9650 quad chip,
and patriot PC2-8500 2GB memory sticks.
2x EVGA 88800GTS-512 (G92) video cards.
So first I flashed the new bios, with only 2 memory sticks in 0, 2 slot, I get post with just fail safe settings, and SLI ready memory enable, which the vendor claims these stikcs can do.
I boot, but the CPU bounces around between 6x and 8x.
If I add 2 more memory sticks to come to 8GB total, I crash during boot in Vista 64.
So remove 2 sticks again, and try to play with bios settings to get anything stable, but... nothing.
Any ideas, help.
Thanks much.

It's normal for your speeds to fluctuate. It is speedstep(EIST) in action. It lowers your cpu speed to save power when it isn't doing anything or a light load. You can disable it in your BIOS if you want and it should run full speed at all times.
Can you boot into Vista with 1 video card and be stable?
What power supply are you using? It sounds like you are lacking enough power to run both those cards. Make and Model number for PSU.
You may also need to manually setup your memory timings. DDR2 memory has a top limit and it is PC2-6400. Anything over that limit is overclocking and may need adjusting to get them to run.
Make sure you only have keyboard, mouse, and monitor plugged for testing to help eliminate other issues.
Can you make a signature with all your computer components listed similar to the one I have below. it will help us help you. It's sometimes hard to help when you don't have enough information.

P7N Diamond will not POST

Hi everyone.
This is my first build. The board powered up just fine, but would not POST. No beeps, nothing. I tried stripping down the system, part by part, until I was down to just one stick of RAM & the CPU - no luck. I've been doing some extensive researching, and I've tried everything I can think of.
Here's the build:
OCZ PSU - Game Xtreme series 700 W
P7N Diamond
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz (retail box)
Corsair DOMINATOR (2 X 2GB) DDR2 1066
MSI NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT, 256 DDR3
Seagate Barracuda SATA drive, 250 GB
Sony IDE combo optical drive
I RMAed the board & processor (replacement)
I'm quite frustrated and disappointed at this point. Any tips/tricks or advice would be welcome!

Quote from: AaronYuri on 12-May-08, 01:17:13
Did you try a clear CMOS? Different memory? My Dominators wouldn't boot without 2.00v VDIMM.
Yes, I tried clearing CMOS. I WOULD'VE tried different memory, but I don't have any compatible sticks around. But, I tried removing all the ram, thinking that if that Dominators were causing the problem, the board would start to post, and then beep at me when it couldn't find any RAM - no results. :-(

Back to a previous bios version / P7N Diamond

Hello,
I've a P7N diamond motherboard and I update every time it is possible the bios.
I did it with version 1.1 and it works if I wanted to overclock my E6700 processor from 2,66 to 3 GHZ and my PC8500 RAM from 800 to 1066 Mhz.
As soon as I update with version 1.2, it is not possible anymore to overclock with EXACTLY keeping the same parameters (see my previous subjects).
Is it possible to return to version 1.1 after flashing to version 1.2 ? Could you help me ? Or tell me what to do with version 1.2 if I want to go on with overclocking ?
Thank you so much ....
Didier

Did you clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU after flashing the BIOS? If not, please do that and test again. OC settings can vary between BIOS Versions, that is not that unusual.

P7N Diamond / MS-7510 -- Flashed my BIOS & now S.O.L.?

Long, excruciating story put short: I bought an MSI MS-7510 motherboard which is OEM for an Acer Aspire G7700 machine. It's based on the retail MSI P7N Diamond board, but a few minor differences. Anyway, the BIOS that came with it was an Acer BIOS, as reported by the BIOS itself, but an MSI Live Update utility reported that the BIOS in there was the 1.4 (an MSI P7N Diamond BIOS). Not knowing which was actually in there, I tried to install a more current Acer BIOS for that board. The Acer flash utility informed me that my board ID was incorrect, so I went on to flash using the MSI P7N Diamond BIOS, v1.4. After successfully flashing via DOS, the computer does not post, it doesn't do anything when I start it. The hard drives, MB, CD-ROMs, PSU, and case fans all get power, but my monitor gets no feed from the video card, nothing. It seems to me that I put the wrong BIOS in there. Am I S.O.L.? Is there any way to flash the BIOS at this point? I'm guessing I can't do anything via USB stick or CD-ROM, as without a proper BIOS, the computer doesn't know what to look for, etc. Is there a hard modification I can do for this board? Jumper pins to reset the BIOS? Anything? I'm stuck here and could really use help!

Sorry to say, but we don't support OEM products on this forum. You need to contact Acer in regards to your problem.

Tecra S1 boots correctly but does not work properly and has BIOS error beeps

Toshiba S1 has started to crash regularly after a certain period of use.
Sometimes: BIOS error beeps: Short-short-long.
Sometimes: Bluescreen of reduced screen size/reduced resolution.
Sometimes: Just crashes (frozen) and has to be shut off manually.
As Toshiba uses its own BIOS, does anyone know what these beep sounds mean or can provide support?
Is it a hardware / connection problem between graphic card and monitor or is it a memory error?

Hi,
did you tried to make a memory test? If not, I would suggest you to make it. For such tests I would prefer using "memtest86" (www.memtest86.com)
Otherwise I would assume that your mainboard is malfunctioning and you will have to bring your machine to an local ASP.
If you need help finding an ASP, here is a good site:
