DKA789GX Platinum problems?

Okay so I got a new antec 900 case with a DKA390GX platinum mainboard, an AMD Phenom X4 Processor (2.6 ghz quad core), 250GB Sata HD, and SATA dvd burner, and a 9800 GT video card, and a 550W power supply
I got all these today, ive spent about an hour on putting it together.  I didn't see with my material of the motherboard, the case, cpu or anything explicit directions on hooking it up so who knows if i've done it correctly.
so I'm done with the setup, so i plug it in, hook my wireless mouse/keyboard up, hook my monitor up and power it on.  all the fans come on, so i open the cd drive and put my Windows XP Pro 64 in to the drive, the system recognizes the CD, it starts it's process... 
computer shuts off.
It's been like that for a while (luckily I still have my current pc all put together).  I can't figure out why it's shutting itself off.. any help...
Out of the box the only things I have left are:
both of the GPU crossfire link cards.
all 6 of those funky looking pin things (couldnt see where they go)
2 sata cables
2 eide cables
and 2 of the power converters (the old power for EIDE, to the new for SATA)
Any help appreciated!

Which board you got, as neither of those exists? ???
Did you mean DKA790GX Platinum? You can find your drivers here:

    MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

    A lot of things could be wrong but it will be easier to figure out if we know what you did.  When you say you changed settings in Bios, do you remember your last settings and what you did?
    It might be helpful if you created a sig (as described in the forum rules) to show what you have in your system like my sig below. (Hint- use profile button in sign on screen.)
    Things could be broken even if there is no visible evidence (such as flames or melted component) of course.
    If I had to guess and your d-bracket reading is correct, corrupted bios requiring new bios chip, but let's not guess as a lot of things could be wrong and you don't want to invest in a new bios chip if the board cannot be brought back to life.  Consider removing parts and testing them in an other machine.  Start with CPU and memory?
    Good luck.

    [Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

    First post, whoo hooo   
    So what version of BIOS are u running?  I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems.  With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you.  Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems.  Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
    Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

  • K9N Platinum Problem

    Hello,
    I have a K9N Platinum 7250-020 and I read from a different forum to make a new thread about the shutdown issues since it said it wasn't affected. Funny thing is, I'm getting the same exact problem.
    My specs:
    CPU: AM2 4200+ (2.4ghz, memory is not overclocked because of the odd multiplier)
    Motherboard: K9N Platinum bios 1.2 (tried several of them and they are all buggy!)
    PSU: CoolerMaster iGreen series 500watt
    Memory: Crucial Ballistix 2gb ddr2 800
    Videocard: ATi x1950pro
    Soundcard: Creative Audigy Platinum
    Symptoms:
    I will be listening to music thru winamp and then when I am installing a program it completely shuts off during the middle of installation.
    I tried installing a game once from the cd-rom and then it immediately shuts down.
    The funny thing of all of this, I never got a blue screen. So I know it can not be because of my Overclocking.
    So thanks for reading, please repost if you have anything to report. I don't know when MSI will come out with bios 1.4 for this. I'm so angry...I do not know whether to return this or not. It would have to be through MSI..so yeah. Thanks again!

    Well...this is weird..
    Yeah I tried underclocking the bus (now keep in mind I have a AM2, 4200+, and it has an odd multiplier of 11x. Because of this the bus has to compensate with the memory, running at ddr2 800, by running it slightly lower. So if I were to run the bus at 200 MHz, then the memory would be around 366mhz. Thus, that leaves me some head room of overclocking just the CPU since the ram is specified to run at 400mhz.). It didn't help. So since I was running bios version 1.10, I though, "hey..why not update." And so I did to the latest. To my surprise the update description includes: -Improve memory compatibility. Funny, huh?
    With that said, I updated and had the settings to what they're specified from Crucial for latency. Then I overclocked to 218 MHz. Thus, resulting a speed about 399.2 MHz for the memory. And to this very moment that I have been running two instances of Prime95, it has yet to come up with a fatal error.
    Now like you said, BOSSKILLER, I checked the cpu temperature (with bios version 1.10) and it said like around 40C. Although, once I flashed to the latest version (with it being stable using via Prime95), now the cpu temp in the bios says something around -42C. And it gets better. Since I'm using 64 bit, MSI doesn't have their core center working for 64 bit (to my knowledge). So I decided to see what Everest Ultimate ed. would say. And here is the kicker. It gives a more logical reading for the CPU temp...+39C!
    So yeah...lol.... It is working fine and dandy right now! But ehh...in the bios the auto-fan control wont work because the bios sees the cpu temp being negative and so the fan control wont adjust to it.
    Anyway, thanks for helping me out again, BK!  It's real nice having someone well...I don't know how to say exactly, but its just nice having someone to go to about my problems!
    Thanks again!!!
    P.S. Sorry about the long essay!  :D

    sorry i dont know what you mean when you say amperage limits (A) on the +12V voltage rails
    Look on the PSU sticker.  And write down the numbers.

  • MSI neo2 platinum problem, forced to reset BIOS everytime I turn on the PSU

    I just got my neo2 platinum mobo. Everytime I switch it ON all the led's at the back (diagnostic) turn red/orange and never turn green.
    I have to reset the bios everytime to get it to post successfully. (bios is the original bios, no flashes done)
    Processor: 3000+ (939)
    Anyone else have this problem? what causes it?
    [update] the bios version is 1.3 which is the latest on the msi website
    System Specs..
    AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 90nm (socket 939)
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
    1 GB Kingston HyperX DDR 400 CS2
    SBlive
    Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB MEM
    Logitech MX510
    1x80GB WD HDD with 8MB cache
    1x120GB WD HDD with 8MB cache
    Lite-On 48x CD-RW
    NEC 16X DVD RW Drive
    RAIDMAX Black Aluminum Gaming Case with 6 case fans and 420W PSU

    I think the power supply may be the problem
    Once you reset the bios you don't need the amps to spin up the drives, as they are already spinning, saving you about 3 amps I bet. If the newer bios doesn't help, try unplugging half those case fans, the non boot drive, and take the cd's out of you optical drives so they dont spin up, then try cold booting your box a couple times. If it works you know you need a new power supply.
     If it doesn't perhaps you've got a grounding problem? Are you positive that nothing metal is touching your motherboard where it shouldn't? If that isn't it, Id  assume the cmos never really clears, and then take the battery out of the motherboard for a good hour while the power supply is unplugged, then give it another shot. I've seen a bunch of DFI boards do weird stuff like that before, the exact same thing actually. Nvidia has a few odd issues with the nforce chipsets and the cmos.
    Oh, since you asked, 3000+ is 1.8 ghz. It will probably run at 2.4ghz easy (1.4 volts), thats a 90nm chip

  • Vista x64 / Logitech Orbit MP / XFi Platinum problem confirmed... PLEASE RE

    I was wondering why my 7. option disappeared from my speakers configuration option. Turns out another person had the same issue with his computer and found out that unplugging his Orbit MP fixed the problem. (It was limiting his sound to 5.) Well I had the same configuration but took it a step further to disable the Logitech Orbit recording device in device manager.Problem solved! Im not sure if this is a Vista, a CL, or Logitech problem. I figure I'd throw this out there to let everyone know. Problem reproduced with: XFi Platinum w/ optical out going to external receiver 7.Logitech .5 Quickcam DriversXFi 2_5_0004 drivers (the newest ones) Would like to hear everyone else's comments on this. Thanks.

    It's funny how some people say you can enable 5. with vista 64 using alchemy but for 10 days now I have yet to get a response.

  • X38 Platinum: Problem with CPU detection

    Hi everybody,
    I've got a little problem with my newly acquired x38/platinum...
    I'm currently assembling a new PC on my own... So far all the component have been plugged-in EXCEPT the memory modules (I haven't purchased them yet).
    Despite this complete lack of memory, I try to test the correct boot-up of the system.
    And then the following problem occurs: the "lcd post" display hang on "CPU" (before rebooting indefinitely)... Not "DRAM" as expected...
    The CPU is a Core 2 Quad, and is correctly powered with a 8-pin/12v connector. The CPU-Fan is powered from the correct on-board pins (cpufan). The speakers are plugged, but no specific "beep" are emitted.
    One possible mistake I've made: the CPU-Fan is not fully plugged with the 4 "screws": i only (and hardly) manage to clip 2 of them, I'm afraid of breaking the board if y try too hard with the two others.
    Could this problem be caused by the absence of DRAM? Or more likely by the the fact that the Fan is not fully clipped? By the way, is that normal that the CPU Fan is so Hard to plug correctly?
    Any comments or idea would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks (and sorry for the approximate english)
    MH.

    mhz42, please provide full system specs.  Otherwise it is very hard to help you with your problem.  What brand and type of memory are you using?  What other components are part of your system configuration?
    The mb is a x38 platinum 1333. The proc is a quad core qx8650, 1333fsb. The hd (western digital caviar) and optical drive (lg h66n) are both on sata and plugged. The memory used is 2go Kingston ddr3 1375mhz... (plugged in DIMM 1/2).
    Anyway, I frankly doubt that the problem could come from anywhere else than the cpu (considering the post message)...

    A seasonic M12-500w... brand new...
    Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 23-January-08, 22:03:59
    Did you properly plug in ALL power connectors?
    The powering should be ok... (the MB, the proc, the cpufan and the graphic card are plugged) The processor seems to be correctly powered, if it was not the case, the post process wouldn't even start (tested)...
    Quote from: Aaron Yuri
    You could just buy a cheap Pentium 4 and flash it with that.
    That's an idea. Or i could directly ship the mb back to msi and thell them to do it themself... After all the spec says cleary "quad core compatible"...
    So?
    Just to be sure: the "since 1.1" from the compatibility table from MSI, refeers to the bios version right? Not a sort of MB revision or something?

  • Help P35 platinum problems

    Hi, I'm new in the forum.
    I have bought a p35 platinum about three weeks ago, it is fantastic and I like it very much, but I have some problems with it.
    If I list them, could you help me??
    My complete configuration is:
    mb: msi p35 platinum;
    processor: Q6600 (without O.C.);
    ram 4x1gb team elite ram 800mhz;
    video: ati 2600xt 512mb gddr3;
    . At first, the motherload's bios colour was black, but suddenly it became classic blue. Now it's blue yet. Is it normal?
    . When I turn on the Pc it a emits "beep"(that should be a sign of bad operation of the AMI bios).
    . The bios read 3.25gb of ram, but I've installed 4gb.
    . dual core center inform me that the CPU fan is 0, while, it goes on spinning. (it happens often)
    . A lot of programs, like Sandra or Everest 2007, read the chipset ICH9 instead of ICH9R.
    . Live Update crash when it looks for bios versions.
    . After installing the bios 1.3 the start is more slowly, besides there is a screened where I can read the marvel component. unfortunately I can read just this, then I will try to do a screen.
    PS:
    Despite of I had this problems, I go on loving my magic motherload. I hope you will help me, because I don't know what to do.
    My O.s. is Windows vista Ultimate.

    Quote
    3. My O.S. is 32 bit vista ultimate and my O.S. too read 3,2gb of ram but, also when the O.S wasn't istalled on my PC, my platinum p35 read anyway 3,5gb that could be utilized and 4gb installed.
    Read here:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=111120.0
    You need a 64bit operating system to make use of all 4gb of ram.

    2. The "beep" that my motherboard (that is new, nobody used it) emit is just one and short, one second after the apparition of MSI logo.
    It means everything is OK.

  • MSI DKA 790GX Platinum problem

    Hi !, its my first time i post a new message !, im a french guys and english its my second language... so i will try to do my best...
    I bought last week a MSI DKA 790GX Platinum with Amd Phenom 2 940...
    I set up all my new pc with OCZ Fatality 4 x 1g ddr2 1066 and WD 640g SATA and a Ultra 600w
    First think i saw when i get out the MoBo of the plastic bag, 3 pins of the Flat circu-pipe are broken, i found the 3 spring in the bag... (i can take picture...) but the flat circu pipe stay in place with 1 pin and maybe thermal compound (no sure)... anyway the pc start #1
    at the start of the pc i got the unknown processor msg like everyone cause i have the 1.2 bios version
    im using the onboard VGA for bios setting,format and install Vista business 64bit.
    Come on the forum and use the USB Flash technic... i do everythink you say... work perfectly, bios update to 1.6...
    After a reboot like its say a the end of the bios update... I got cmos error... and cant boot anymore
    i tryed to clear my cmos error with the button on the MoBo... nothing, or sometime... when i restart my pc... my screen show horizontal bar changing color to red to blue to yellow....
    after 30-45min wasting time for reboot,/clear cmos/ remove battery... nothing...
    I put my 8800 gt in the pci-e and magiccc.... pc start #1... work perfectly...
    so dont no what happend to my onboard vga with the 1.6 bios update
    Next week i will get my sapphire 4870 1g ddr5... so dont no now if i will get problem :(
    Dont no if anyone here got this problem and solved,
    thank you

    Bas, Thats not the answer
    His onboard vga is disabled, on the 1.6 bios update MSI have decided to disable the onboard vga by default, meaning someone either has to go and get a pci-e gfx if they haven't got one or if they lucky enough to still have an old pci gfx they can use that, they need to release a fixed 1.7 bios (as there are other areas messed up).
    johnmmclaine514,
    if you've only just got the board and it was damaged, then i suggest you get it replaced, as you don't know what else could be wrong with it. And it's better to do it now as you can just do a straight swap, as later on you could be waiting for 28+ days to get it replaced.
    the HD 4870 1GB should work fine, I'm running a HD 4870x2 2GB without any problems

  • P45 platinum problem

    i´m sorry for my english jajaja
    ok, now to the point, i have a platinum p45 with ,core 2 duo e8500 , 4 gb corsair 2 x 2 gb 800mhz dual chanel , wd 500 gb 7200 rpm , msi geforce n9800gt 512 dd3  in a 650w power cooler
    i have tested all the hardware in other pcs and the only problem is the motherb
    the pc freezes in all windows and not respond so i have to reboot , and several time give me te bios setup screen with the msg CMOS checksum bad
    but when i put an ati graphic card the problem seems to stop
    is there a compatibility issue o its a mother problem?

    the bios is v 1.0.1 i just reset the bios, but with the update i have installed before it was the same thing
    yes i clean the old drivers , even with the generic i have this problem , i have format and reinstalled windows as well
    what specs are? the voltage is correctly set up, so is The graphic card. the geforce graphic card works well in other CPU , the ati too but in the p45 platinum only the ati works, i will try in the other slot , but my question is there is no compatibility problem between the mother platinum p 45 and Nvidia graphic cards?
    my graphic card is the MSI Nvidia geforce n9800gt , the ATI is borrowed ( is not mine , i´m not sure if i said it OK :P ) but very similar in all features
    BTW sorry for my english again , and thanks for the support

  • K9A2 Platinum PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    well, im on BOARD #2, and #3 is on it's way....
    ok, I purchased the first board on NewEGG thogether with a Phenom 9950BE, 4GB OCZ 2x2 DDR2 1066 5-5-5-15 @2.1v and Saphire ATI HD4850. well the first try was bad, the board would not recognize my 4 WD RAPTORS, the promise controller would not detect them, and the SB600 could only read 2 out of 4 and only if 2 where connnected and not the 4....
    well, I send that board back, in the mean time I visited Fry's Electronics and purchased the board again, now this time is working so, so...   I managed to install VISTA64 SP1 with all the patches, etc, and play few games, except i still have problems:  I disabled the promise controller as i need to run 2 ARRAY's of RAID 0 (2 Raptors 740 each, one array for OS and one for GAMES) the problem is that I get random lockups, Blue Screens, etc. also when I choose to restart the computer or send it to SLEEP, as it is shutting down the HD make a weird sound that they never made before and if I restarted the SB600 raid bios would not detect the arrays, i physically have to power down, wait and restart, so the arrays are detected.
    also I try to overclock the PC, the Phenom is able to run at 3ghz but it freezes some times immediately but others it would last few hours with gaming in between, i tried several voltages from 1.33v to 1.41v and some times get a BlueScreen that reads a processors error, one core did't respond on expected time... or something like that.
    [bashing removed]
    my spec's are:
    AMD Phenom 9950 Black Edition B3
    MSI K9A2 platinum 1.5 bios
    Saphire HD4850
    4GB OCZ DDR2 1066 5-5-5-15 @2.1v Dual CH.(2x2GB)
    4x WD RAPTORS WD740 on RAID 0 (two ARRAYS)
    PIONEER DVD-RW DL IDE
    CoolerMaster STACKER case w/2 120mm fans and 1 80mm
    Dual PS: CoolerMaster Real 450w PS & Ultra 400w PS

    well, the design of the CoolerMaster STACKER case is for two Power supply's working in tandem, it has a connector that turns on both supply's at the same time, so I split the load as follows:   all Motherboard plugs, 3 120mm fans, 1 80mm fan & Pioneer DVD drive; powered by thr CoolerMaster REAL 450w, it list power as follows: PEAK (60S) +3.3v@30A, +5v@35A, +12v1@18A, +12v2@16A, -12v@blank?, [email protected]. 
    CONTINUOS: +3.3v@20A, +5v@25A, +12v1@12A, +12v2@10A, [email protected], [email protected]
    as for the other power supply it powers the following: HD's (as of now 2; 1 WD Raptor and 1 Seagate 7200.9), 1 120mm fan and the ATI HD4850
    I don't think Im starving the system of power...
    im installing windows vista 64 (yeah, yeah, XP is more stable, but I had an ABIT A8N nforce4SLI, Athlon X2 3800 OC's, 2GB Patriot DDR, 2x Geforce 7800GT OC's on SLI and 4 HD's, and I never had any problems, and I had the CPU running on stock cooler and stock voltage. and I had VISTA 32, and 64 and never since I bought it ever give me problems, i could OC everything from CPU, memory, HT, PCI-e, etc.
    why this board is so bad?
    this is the current ERROR i have just now:
    "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval..."
    technical info. ***STOP: 0X00000101  (0X0000000000000031, 0X0000000000000000, 0XFFFFF980012C6180, 0X0000000000000001)
    I did enable promise controller and used the 2 HD on the ports controlled by it as JOBD each, the RAM is @ 1066mhz, voltage as recomended 2.1v and I did try to OC the processor just to try, since that is the purpose of buying the Black edition 9950 to 15x200 @ 3000mhz 1.41v, everything else is on Auto.
    before I get SCHOOLED by other users, yes I do want to OC the proc. I have installed vista 64 w/o OC the proc and it runs ok, but i still had random BSOD here and there...  but since this is proclaimed the best board for OC the Phenom and AMD even pushes the SPIDER plataform and makes it easy to OC.  I also just installed an after market heatsink (CoolerMaster Gemin II w/2 120mm 1200rpm) and the bios reports the CPU @ 29* C

  • K9N2 SLI Platinum Problem? please help.

    I have a K9N2 SLi Platinum board and i set it up yesterday.  I'm having problems with some stuff though.
    Situation: I can start up the comp and all lights turn up bright and pretty, all fans work; good news.  But the video card stuff won't display on the screen... I doubt this is a motherboard issue but that's not what i'm asking help with.  What i'm truly asking is what does 4 RED LIGHTS on the motherbaord RIGHT ABOVE the 16x PCI-E 16 x2 slot mean???
    -Thanks in advance!
    LOOK AT POST AT BOTTOM!
    VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

    thank youall for helping with that problem, now i feel stupid for not noticing that should b eplugged in!...
    but if you guys would like to help me with 1 more problem that'd be great;
    Trying to get it so i can Install Vista via CD-ROM.
    When i started up the computer yesterday it would go to a screen that i could access the bios by pushing the delete button during that time... Now it doesn't come up thus i can't access BIOS.  Small problem but whatever.  Also when i start it now it goes to the black screen (console i believe everyone calls it) and it says:
    "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device or Instert Boot Media in selected Boot Device and press a key_"
    Please tell me what to do!  I believe the boot device is the HDD or the CD-ROM.  But in BIOS the other day neither the HDD or CD-ROM Drive would show in the boot devices thing.
    -Thanks in advance again!

  • DKA790GX platinum problems

    hi there, please bear with me as i am pretty new to building computers, i recently bought and installed a 25.g phenom, and a dka790gx platinum board.
    i also have a radeon 3850 hd card installed. since doing this, formatting my hard drive and using a clean install of windows vista i have been plagued with programs crashing, one or two blue screens and other such instability. i only have 3 1 gig ram sticks installed, do i need to use pairs? i ran the windows memory checker as i play world of warcraft and when that crashes it said memory could not be wriiten, or read, on two diff occasions.
    i would really appreciate some help on this. firefox seems to be a program that has a lot of problems, as does windows live messenger and yahoo messenger, these problems do see intermittent though.
    regards, and hoping for help.

    What works good on one board doesn't always work on another.
        Take a look at the other user signatures on this and other forums and look for users with the same motherboard, see what memory they're using.
        Don't mix and match memory, pick a brand and part number and stick with it. If you change brands, or part numbers within a brand, change ALL
    of your memory to that brand/ part number.
        If your running dual channel, buy matched pairs,  They're matched at the factory to work together, and will have closer to identical specs than two sticks
    you buy separately.
        Check your memory manufacturer's website for compatibility with your motherboard (OCZ doesn't list your motherboard on their site, but it's a new board , so it might be worth a call).
        Search for reviews of your motherboard or the memory your thinking about purchasing and see if any of the sites have used your motherboard and/or memory for a review.
    If it's a popular motherboard, odds are somebody will be using it as a test bed,  If your lucky, they used or reviewed the memory your interested in, on your board.
        Hang out here for a bit and see if anyone is using or tried your motherboard/memory combination.
