Boot Problems and memory issues on MSI k9a2 plat

I have problems booting after doing a bios flash. Gives me a error of bad checksum. Can't save any settings. I got to flash bios back to 112 so wanna know what is the CORRECT way to reboot/ clear cmos /or do i just restart.
Also my memory do not wanna run in dual channel. Will look for book of PSU to see ratings.
MODS sorry for going onto other people threads but thought due to me having same issues that it better to post there.

Read Moan Guide
You use Phenom CPU?(My guess according to my )

MSI K9A2 PLAT/AMD 9850 BE/ CPU Ratio issue

Stats
AMD-9850 BE
MSI-K9A2 plat v1.0/Bios 1.3(have given 1.4 and 1.6 a try and it does not fix the issue)
PSU-Apevia Warlock 900w
ATI 4870
4gigs(2 sticks) OCZ-DDR2 1066
Windows Vista 64-SP1
My issue is that my CPU ratio will not change the speed of my current CPU clock in BIOS(or real time CPUZ). The stock CPU ratio for an AMD 9850 BE is 12.5. I can change it to 13 (ect) and save and reboot but it will not change the CPU clock, however the cell menu shows it at x13 2600 MHz. Its almost as if the ratio is locked and it should not be. I can lower the Ratio to 12 changing the CPU clock to 2.4 so it is working, in a way. When I gave bios 1.6 a try the options for CPU ration only went up to 12.5(stock). I am starting to think that I got a locked 9850 when it came in a 9850BE box!!! Is there a MB setting I am missing or anything? This is starting to drive me nuts.
Any help would be great!! thank you
PS
AOD also shows all options to change CPU Ratio grayed out.... Could having D.O.T.3 Step settings disabled mess this up?
Is There something that has to be physically set to allow this on the MB?... Which would be a 1st for me?

MSI K9A2 Plat. & BIOS 1.0B3 3/17/08

Hello,
I was hoping some of you could answer a question for me. I ordered a AMD Phenom 9850 X4 BE and was needing to know if the MSI K9A2 Plat. & BIOS 1.0B3 3/17/08 revison will work with this processor????? I don't really want to update the bios no more than I have to...
Thanks,

I don't really know, but 1.1, 1.3, and 1.4 BIOS all indicate Changes for CPU's. In the past with other brands I have seen to BIOS improperly recognize the CPU, but the CPU functioned well most times, but there were exceptions.
The Beta BIOS are not listed where I looked. But you date seems newer than 1.4. Unless someone more knowledgeable rolls along, I would just try it with the new CPU.

MSI P7N SLI-FI LGA 775 nForce 750i booting problem and error message

Got this board a week ago and I'm having some issues with booting-sometimes. I power it on and it just hangs there doesn't do noting. I hit the restart button and it powers on, but gives me a red letter error message that "previous overclocking has failed and settings were restored to default". But I never overclocked it. The settings were at default in the first place. After it boots and goes into Windows I have no problem at all, works great. But as soon as I reboot it i hangs again until I restart it or power it off. I tried different power options in the bios, but I get the same problem. I checked the MSI web site for BIOS update but there isn't any. So if somebody knows a solution to this problem let me know. Thanks.

I know the 7600GS doesn't recommend a PSU with a lot of power(15 - 17 A), but you're running two of them in SLI. Your PSU only has 18A on the +12V rail. This could very well be your issue. Below are some good single +12V rail PSUs, Corsairs and PC Power & Cooling. You can also look for Silverstone single rail PSUs, but they tend to be pricier. If you can't get anything other than split-rail, post back and we'll try to make some recommendations.

Event ID 41 Kernel- Power and Memory Issues with P67A-GD65

Alright guys, the reason I'm starting this topic is because I have recently bought an i7-2600K, 8GB (2GBx4) Corsair Dominator CMP4GX3M2A1600C8, a Radeon HD 6970 for an update to my system, I also have an Intel X-25M First Generation 80GB SSD as the boot drive and then 2 Western Digital Black Cavier 1TB storage drives. I currently have OC Genie turned on and my processor is OCed to 4.2GHZ, I have a Zalman 9900Max air cooler on it and my usual processor temp is 34C. Basically every once and a while I'm get Blue Screens on my system, Windows Event Viewer Tags it as Event ID 41 Kernel-Power, I've also gotten PFN_LIST_CORRUPT while playing Crysis once. I'm wondering if it's memeory so I'm about to run my system through MemTest and see what it turns up. So here are my reasons for this post.
1. MSI's website lists only triple channel memeory for corsair for this board which of course is dual channel, so does anyone have a recommendations on memory if I do have to switch them out which I would hate to leave corsair.
2. Has anyone else had this problem with their system?
Thanks guys

Firefox 3.6.8 and memory issues

After the last update to 3.6.6, I disabled plugin-container per the instructions given on the forum, and my RAM problems went away. However, after the automatic update to 3.6.8, the memory problems came back, with memory usage going up to 92%. I downgraded to 3.6.4, and turned plugin-container off again; while memory usage is currently at 84%, it is not as low as it was before the upgrade to 3.6.8. (79-80%) (There is very little difference in the websites being opened on the various tabs.)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.8

ffs guys. It's a free browser. It's cool. We love it. But can we do something about memory issues? Almost every release has huge memory leaks.
How about halving the release points and focus on memory issues for the other half of the time. I am a long time user since way back in the day and it seems to me that instead of trying to release so many versions, we should be focused more fixing the current release.
I say put a moratorium on new features until bloat can be fixed. These experiences are starting to give me a hardon for IE again.
Screw new features. I can deal with plain old tabs like they are. I don't need more bells and whistles. This browser has been kicking ass and taking names for a loonnnggggg time. We don't need more bloat. Keep the security fixes coming but everything else can wait. Take a breath. Stop and smell the roses for a few weeks.

I have a battery and Memory issue - late macbook pro 2011

Macbook Pro 13" Late 2011 Model
Battery Issue
After upgrading to Lion, my batter life is 3 hours after full charge. It was 7-8 hours in leopard.
Hoping this is a common issue and someone has a quick solution.
Memory Issue
I had 4GB Ram and found it would run to virtually nothing and not free any inactive RAM. I though the solution to this was to buy more RAM, which I did.
I now have 8GB RAM and it agains runs to virtually nothing on non labour intensive software like safari or mail. It doesnt free up any RAM when it reaches a certain point. Instead it freezes and I'm forced to restart the computer. I use Final Cut Pro X and Photoshop/Illustrator fairly regualry. I'm assuming the RAM is is used with those but even when these are closed the RAM is low.
Any ideas?
Cheers

You should take your Mac to an official apple retail store, as it is not common to have these problems regarding battery and memory.

DKA790GX Platinum and memory issues

I've had my dka790gx platinum now for approximately 2 weeks.
Build is as follows
DKA790GX-Plat - bios v1.6
AMD Phenom II X4 940
2 x 2gb Corsair Dominator 1066 (5-5-5-15 @ 2.1)
Gigabyte HD 4870x2
Creative X-Fi Extreme GF-PS
Tagan 900BZ
It has been working fine but all off a sudden I started getting the dreaded BSOD in vista 'apc_index_mismatch' and 'memory_management' - I've ran memtest and on the first test @ 45% the system reboots with 4gb of memory in. This happens whether it is running @ 800mhz or 1066mhz, I've also tried 4 x 1gb of corsair xms2 ddr 800mhz and get actually the same issue. If I run 2gb of memory then all tests are ran without any problems and again this is for both the dominator memory running @ 800 and 1066mhz, and also the xms2 memory.
I've then ran another test using the 2 x 1gb xms2 + 2 x 512mb xms2 (all ddr2 800) to give total of 3gb and ensuring all 4 memory slots are populated, and again all tests run fine.
I've tried the memory in ganged mode and unganged mode, but it doesn't make a difference, once i go over 3gb I have the problem, so is this a motherboard fault (i've opened support ticket but had to miss some info as it meant fully stripping down the pc to get hold of the sticker on the side of the pci slot) or a cpu fault seeing the memory controllers are on the cpu?

As far as overheating is concerned, it really shouldn't be a problem. Before getting a cooler for my RAM, it would get too hot to touch during full load, but would never run into any sort of problem. If you don't believe me have a look at what a SUPER*TALENT Stick looks like: http://www.pcstats.com/articleimages/200702/supertalentT1000UX2G4_full.jpg - Compare that to the dominator, The SuperTalent has to be just about the ugliest MEM-SINK you could ever lay eyes on EXCELLENT RAM though
Kind of a really silly question here: when testing below 4gb, you are testing both sticks, right? I mean they look identical, a small distraction & you're putting the same one back in...happened to me...
yep memory was tested as single chips, also as stated previously testing 4 x 1gb of other memory caused memtest to fail, but 4 x 512mb passed, so did 2 x 1gb + 2 x 512mb
memtest fails all the time when have 4gb of memory in this mother in any combination, but using pc-check all memory passes, if my works had a ddr-2 memory checker then I would have also teste the memory in that as that will pick out memory faults better than any software
Also when the dominator is in slot 1 there is about 1cm between heatsink and dominator fins at the most, so this be a possible cause of the memory getting too hot especially as I would leave the machine on 24/7, but as I've re-setup another machine to do the stuff this machine was doing then i'm hoping i don't see the problem..

Boot Problems and No Sleep

High There
There seems to be some Booting-Problems with my 1.8 Ghz Power Mac G5. Sometimes he started properly an other times i only listened to the cooler an no starting tone. I installed a new HD already. If i want to go in the sleep-mode it won't come back. There were also some issues in the starting process when he stops booting properly. As i said the HD is new and works properly when i finally getting started but even then he managed to crash down from time to time.........Cheers

Hallo phleg, und ein herzliches Willkommen im Forum!
Boot off your original G5 Install Disk while holding down Option/alt key to select AHT, then run the extended Apple Hardware Test.
Get Temperature Monitor - 4.51 to see if it's heat related...

IPad 1 and memory issues

I mean this thing is slooowwww. Many apps crash back to the home screen. I have an app called System and it is showing Wired: 59MB at 36.56% What is this? Apps that are automatically on my iPad? Active shows 2MB at 13.90% and I have nothing running except this app. The reason I am bringing all this up is I was wondering is there any way to speed this iPad up? I mean the memory is atrocious! This thing is slow. And it is a brand new one that I got from the Apple store. Granted, it is not an iPad 2, as I do not have unlimited wealth, as Apple assumes we all do, it is the iPad 1. Maybe the memory issue is having too many apps downloaded? I have absolutely nothing running in the background as I close every app I open because the iPad is so slow and crashes even default email back to the home screen at times! I just want to make this thing faster like the day I first got it. Right now, it is serving as a paper weight as I can't keep anything running for very long. Things run smoothly, yes, but many things do not. Still wondering what this Wired section is, as it is taking up so much of my memory. I have only 88MB free and as soon as I open any app, that diminishes rather quickly.

No it's not jailbroken. I will never do that to any of my devices. I am talking about memory. I have plenty of storage. Just tired of apps crashing back to the home screen.

Udev kernel 2.6 boot problems and questions

Hello there.. During these days I'm trying to install a new linux kernel. I have the insane Idea of installing an old kernel. I compiled the "new" old kernel and I can't manege to get it to work efficently..
I keep receiving a message this message during the boot.
Failed to start udev Kernel Device Manager
Although I followed the requirements for undev related to the kernel 2.6
Why am I trying to install and older kernel? Well, the my reason is simple: my laptop keyboard that it's so annoying.. Every once and then it's not recognized at boot and it force me to reboot the system even for 4 or 5 times consequintely..
With the kernel 2.6 I never had such problems and so I thought It was worth trying..
Another interesting question that keep coming to my mind is related to the kernel that it's been update after pacman -Syu.
I notice that in /usr/src there is a a new directory eithe the new kernel called linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH, well if I try to build the kernel inside thi directory I get a message
linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH]# make
scripts/Makefile.build:44: /usr/src/linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH/arch/x86/syscalls/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH/arch/x86/syscalls/Makefile'. Stop.
make: *** [archheaders] Error 2
The linux-headers are seems to be correctly installed to me...
Any Idea or explanation or suggestion would be very appreciated.
Thank you

Arch userspace is too new to survive with an older kernel. This isn't going to end well for you.
If you want your keyboard to function properly, I suggest you file bugs against the relevant parties and work with them to get actually get it fixed rather than go down this bizzare rabbit hole.
edit: even our LTS kernel (3.0.x) is too old for Arch userspace.

Question for those with memory issues on k8n neo plat

I have been having issues with my memory on the k8n neo platinum board since i built the system last month and i just recently discovered a fact I had overlooked.
I Have discovered that if i test the system while it is cool (having sat turned off overnight for example), then memtest will pass the ram just fine and the system will be stable for a short period of time, generally longer if no intensive applications are used, ie. doom3 vs. websurfing).
This system, once it heats up ( seems mostly to be the nvidia 3 nb that needs to be "hot"- that is, a probe placed in contact with the module reaches about 58+ degrees c) then the system becomes unstable and memtest, if used, fails.
Prime95, if used on it when its cool, will usually take about an hour or so to fail, but if its used on the system when its been running a bit ( temps from nb at 58c+ and memory module hot to the touch) then it fails after about 20-30 seconds.
I have placed an active hs on the nb in an attempt to correct this, but temps still remain high with failures occuring.
I have spent the better part of three days testing the sytem this way and the above facts have held true in all these tests.
I have tested at stock ratings ( not using "auto" in bios, but using "approved ratings" of 10 x 200 for fsb and timings of 2-3-3-7 for my ram at 1:1 (which is recommended as well) since i am testing for base stability at this point;Voltages have been left at auto settings, however.
I was wondering if anyone else with memory issues could try this out and post if this seems to be the case for you as well.
Perhaps the memory issues on these boards are directly related to a problem with the nvidia 3 chipset running too hot?
Does anyone have a memory issue with these boards who is using water cooling on the NB ?
Lack of issues from people using 'problem" memory, but having no failures with water cooled nb's would support my assumption.

Yes i did mean chipset.
I am using a stock hs/fan from amd, which seems to run a tad hot but, considering that I wont overclock until I can get board stable, its not an issue. (runs 35-40 idle and up to 72 intensive). I need the warranty more then the extra mhz at present.
I removed the stock heatsink from the nvidia chipset and bought a generic chipset cooler (green, very little in the way of fins and seems to be aluminum) with a small fan.
I used a generic silver paste from Compusa to adhere both the cpu hs and the chipset.
I didnt lap either hs, just installed each as per instructions on artic silvers website (figured it had to go on the same way even generic).
I also bought a kingwin thermal center which i ran probes from to the cpu, case, and nb chipset.
I am not using it to adjust fans so those arent connected - its just a reference temp I can see at a glance, esp considering the funky bios reading this boards been known to give.
I assume from these responces that even a nvidia 3 250 chipset shouldnt get as hot as mine?
I asked about that from the retailer i bought this from but he seemed to think it was "ok" at 50ish celcius, but then again he didnt look too confident when he said it, lol.
Idle right now reads on Corecenter at 28 celcius for cpu and 33 celcius for the chipset, although, I have readings of 37 c and 43 c from the kingwin thermal center, which i believe to be more accurate.
My voltage reads at 11.67 for the 12v line at idle right now.
The psu i got is stick from the xblade case i bought in store. (http://www.xoxide.com/xblade2.html)
I have a dvd burner, cd drive, and two maxtor ide hd's attached to the system;The only card is the agp.
Is there a way to check and see if the cpu ispower starved? software monitor or even an external probe perhaps?
I havent put a probe on it, but the ram came in its own heatspreader, which gets very hot to the touch as well.
What temps should I be looking for on these items?

Clearing cmos and memory issues msi 7093 motherboard

Hello all, well here's my problem I have a msi 7093 mb with a nvidia 6600gt and 1 gb of ram(4 sticks of 3200 256mb). the pc has been running great even with the nvidia card. I decide to add more memory today and here is where my problem started. I added 2x512 sticks. I put the 1 512 stick in slot 1 and the other in slot 3, so i had 1 gig in one channel and 512 in the 2nd channel(2x256).It booted fine except when I went to computer options it only showed 1 gig instead of 1.5 gb. I ran cpu-z and it listed the memory as dual channel 1 gig in channel 1 and 512 in 2nd channel. for some reason windows only showed 1 gig. I restarted the pc and went into the bios to see what was shown and it showed 104824...k was like 10 numbers but the 1st 4 were 1048 and it eneded with k. I exited bios without saving and thats when it stoped working I got that memory beep one beep over and over again. I removed all the ram and just left the 2 512 sticks in and all the power came on, no beeps but the monitor wont come on. the monitor doesnt give the monitor is not connect message it gives the out of range type screen. I removed the video card and tried to use the igp but same thing, I tried different memory sticks and the same. I havent tried to clear the cmos because I'm not sure how to do it with this board, I know theres a sticky here showing how but I cant find it. Sorry for the long post was trying to explain all that happened and what i tried, please help(:
thank you,
stuart

hello all, here's the update, I was finally able to reset the cmos, had to remember how to do it its working fine now, I couldn't get it to report all the ram with the way I wanted to do it( 1gig in one channel and 512 in the other channel)So I have it as 756 in each channel now. just to clarify the reason I was trying to set it up initially was because I was told it would be better to have it that way. i was told that it will use all the memory in the 1st channel first then when it needs more it will go look in the 2nd channel which will take more time to do. Is that true or does it make any difference? just wondering why it wouldnt report all the ram when it was configured that way? Once again thank you for the help

Z68A-GD65(G3) boot problems and random crashes

Hi all,
Built a new system last week:
i5-2500k
MSI Z68A-GD65(G3)
MSI 6950 2Gb TFIII
8Gb Corsair Vengence DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel
Corsair HX650W PSU
Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB SSD
Posted fine on the first power-up but then hung at 'Starting Windows' just as the logo starts to fly-in. After a lot head scratching, removal of GFX, an HD with an image of W7 on it already (exact same issue), RAM swops etc I discovered that the top pair of USB ports appear to be suspect. If any device is plugged into either of them then the system will hang at that point. If I use the lower (non-USB 3.0) it boots just fine.
I'm also experiencing an issue in games (BF3 and DCS A-10 so far) whereby I have a random freeze. The sound will go nuts and the lights on all USB attached devices go off (which make me suspect the 2 problems are related)
Anybody able to offer any advice? Do support monitor these forums (newbie ).
