DKA790GX Platinum BIOS-settings?

I´ve recently upgraded my previous AMD X2 +4200 processor to a +6000. Everything seems to be working fine except Cubase 5 which now crackles, stutters and the ASIO-meter shoots through the roof. I know I maybe should be posting this in a Cubase-related forum, but I don´t think the problem is with Cubase itself. Before the CPU-switch everything was working just fine. After failing to find a solution I then opted to exchange my mainboard (from a MSI K9N platinum to a MSI DKA790GX Platinum) in hope that this would solve the problem. It did not.
I´ve gotten suggestions for problems with cpu, memory, graphicscard, harddrives and god knows what.
I´m a little confused as to where to start changing things?
Are there any general suggestions for BIOS-settings for this mobo that any of you have to share?
I´m now running it in fail-safe mode.

Since the sound problems was not connected to processor or motherboard... Speaker, interfering signals (cell and cordless phones!!), CuBase/Windows (but crackle whatever that is is not easily associated to software).
Will check, but it seems unlikely since nothing´s changed regarding cables, power or physical position of hardware (speakers, interface or otherwise).
I should say that I previously used Windows XP Pro SP3 and recently switched to XP Home SP3, but since I´ve used the older processor with both OS´s and have had no problems that shouldn´t be the problem either. Besides, I´ve never heard of any problems/differences with audiointerfaces when switching from XP Pro to XP Home or vice versa as long as all drivers updated properly.

DKA790gx platinum bios problem

I tried to update my bios using Live Update in order to upgrade to an AM3 processor. I flashed the bios within windows 7 (64 bit) and restarted my computer. When I got to the checksum error screen, i accidently hit F2 to load defaukt settings insteaed of hitting F1 to load the bios setup and load the optimized settings. after a reboot, i loaded the optimized settings.
However, whenever i started windows, it would load all the way to my desktop, then freeze. After talking to support, I was told to clear my CMOS, which i did, to no avail. Then was told to try a clean install of Windows. However, when i try to reinstall, it freezes during the final step. Now, I have no windows installed (since it errored) and cannot reinstall.
I'm guessing i need to reflash my bios, or install an earlier version? But, without windows, I'm not sure how to go about flashing. The only advice i can find on the msi website is for earlier windows versions (xp, 98, etc.) Any advice on how I can proceed from here? I'm kind of stuck and I have a brand new shiny 1090t sitting on my desk teasing me....
Thnks

Sorry about that, should have known better.

K7N2 Delta2 Platinum Bios settings help please

Please forgive me if I seem a bit stupid, but we all have to start somewhere.
As you can see from my signature although an old socket A set-up this should still perform pretty well when my son plays his games (Age of Empires 3) but the dam thing keeps crashing (back to the desktop) and performace is not what it should be.
I built the pc my self so I am ok to fiddle about with things but I am not as knowalgable as most people on this forum, So I would like someone to help me with some BIOS settings on this board, can anyone recommend some settings that would work well.

Having now read the excellent post by klondike on this board I want to update my bios to the 11.50 (B50) version.
I know about all the dangers of updating your bios but as I am having prob’s with my board and it seems like the B5 bios is better that the B4, I want to update it but I have tried now for 2 hours to update it and I am obviously doing something very wrong and it is doing my head in!
I have read the MSI guide to bios updating and others on this forum but I can’t get anything to even start to work.
I have downloaded and un-zipped the B50 bios update for my board. I have put the unzipped files in a folder in the C: drive I have named “test” I have made a dos floppy and set my bios to 1st boot floppy but when I boot to it at the A prompt you type C: (and enter) and it says bad file or command (I can’t remember which) so I then tried burning the bios files to a cd and once again after booting to the dos there is no option to get it to boot or find the cd drive you just get the A: prompt
I have also tried updating it though live update but live update says the latest version is 11.4 (B4) and that is what my board already has so I can’t update it from there as MSI have not updated their live update page.
I am almost at my wits end and feel like setting light to the dam thing, all I want to do is up date my bios its not that hard I have done it before on other pc’s but I can’t remember how I did it! (thats my age)
Please can someone spare me a few minutes to talk me though this.

DKA790GX Platinum No POST

I just put everything back together from not using it for a few months. The system turned on and booted into windows. I restarted and went into bios, and now when I try to start the computer it doesn't POST. The video card fan just spins at full speed. I have a PCI diagnostics card and it gives me error E6- "To enable floppy and timer IRQ, enable internal cache." I have tried to clear CMOS multiple times with the same result. I will rebuild and try different ram sticks now, but would like to know if anyone has any input...
System is:
MSI DKA790GX Platinum bios 1.8
Phenom II x3 720
OCZ Platinum 2 x 2gb 1066mhz
Sapphire 4870 1gb
Corsair TX850W
Fixed- I think the video card was not properly seated, sorry

That would cause the system not to boot. Good troubleshooting and no need to be sorry.

DKA790GX Platinum no VGA Bios Settings

Hi,
I recently acquired the DKA790GX Platinum motherboard together with the 9950BE processor. I am also running the system with the Powercolor 3870x2. I do not see the onboard vga settings in the bios as perscribed in the manual.
Would like to check if the settings only appear when there is no external graphics card connected to the board? The onboard graphics is also not detected in Windows Vista.
I am running on bios version 1.2.
Please advise.

Quote from: fuzzylogic888 on 03-November-08, 16:25:28
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I removed the 3870x2 and the bios settings for onboard graphics becomes present. After I reconnected the board, the vga settings are no longer available.
Hence, I'm wondering if this is by design? I do not need the onboard graphics but I'm just curious as to whether this is normal behaviour for the board or do I have a lemon.
I read somewhere that if we want to use both a discrete card and the integrated graphics, the discrete video card must be a 34xx series card. I installed an MSI ATI 3450 and my bios shows both + side port.

Change your user config mode in dram configuration to manual and change your memory timing to 1T. The 1T setting will speed up your memory slightly.

Problems after BIOS update on DKA790GX Platinum

Hi,
I have set up a pc with the DKA790GX Platinum (MS7550). The config:
- Phenom 8750
- Silverstone 400W PSU (fanless)
- 2x2GB Crucial PC5300
- Pioneer Blu-ray
- Seagate Momentus 5400.4
(this is a HTPC setup...)
The pc started up fine and I installed the OS. I had the board connected to my monitor through HDMI.
After updating the BIOS the board went all black on me. I tried connecting a floppy-drive to recover to a older BIOS-version, but could get the board to do that. I then tried different monitor-connections, but nothing.
I then installed a Gigabyte Radeon HD 4870 1GB-board I had laying here, and board seems to boot somehow - all graphics are messed so I can't read whats on the screen, but at least I get some kind of image. A little unsure on how the PSU handle that videoboard.
Anyone know if the 1.2 BIOS-update maybe is set to <swearing removed> the integrated video by looking for a videoboard in the system? Have a Asus 9800GT Matrix-board in a another pc here - maybe I remove that and try it in the new pc, but... argh..
This ain't funny at all anymore. I had a P45 Platinum dying during a BIOS upgrade. I had a P45 Diamond that dosn't want to boot anymore, and now this... MSI-motherboards really don't want to be friends with me at the time :-|

Hi have exactly teh same problem,
On Dec/2008 I have set up a PC with DKA790GX Platinum (MS7550 ver 1.2), Phenom 9750, 1 120GB hd, 4 MB corsair xms2 ddr2 800mhz, psu 500w. I installed the win xp pro OS. I had the board connected to my monitor vga. After updating the BIOS (with live update utility) the board went all black on me (the fan, PSU, hd starts normal). I test the PSU, HD and the memory, but the problem still continue.
Two days after, the PC start normal, but I don't know what was the problem.
Aleatory when try to start the PC, sometimes I get exactly the same problem, but, Yesterday, I try again to work with me PC and now i have the same problem.
What can i do to fix this problem?

Bios Settings For MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum MB

Hello all... Has anyone came up with the best and most stable bios settings for the MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum motherboard yet. Specifically under the CPU and Memory menus.
If anyone has seen any, please post them. or post a link.
Thanks
DaaDoctor

Well that depends on the installed CPU and memory, doesnt it? So I find that question kinda odd.
One thing though: Dont use Cool n Quiet.

MSI DKA790GX Platinum and AM3 CPU - BIOS Update

Hi,
I am going to upgrade my current computer from an older AMD socket 939 setup to an AMD Phenom II based system
I am thinking of the MSI DKA790GX Platinum motherboard and AMD Phenom II X3 720 (Black edition) CPU (AM2+ Motherboard and AM3 CPU), but I need to clear up the BIOS update for AM3 issue before buying the components.
The motherboard advertisement states that the BIOS has to be upgraded to support AM3 CPU
My issue is this: I do not have an AM2/AM2+ CPU, and I am looking to jump right into buying an AM3 CPU - so will the unit power-up/POST with the combination of the newer AM3 CPU and older BIOS to allow me to update the BIOS using either FDD or Bootable USB Pen in a DOS environment?
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of this? Any help on this would be appreciated
Thanks

The 1.74 Bios is one I got from MSI tech support. We're trying to work through a problem with my new board. nothing major, but we're not quite there yet.
I know that Nvidia was The chipset to have for several years, but I think AMD has upset that applecart a bit with the 780 & now 790 chipsets, and with Intel
getting into the chipset game as well, Nvidia could see some rough times ahead. They may even end up dropping out of the chipset game, since Intel's new CPUs have the memory controller built on die. Hence, Intel has no real need for NVidia any more, Nvidia may end up just focusing on the video card market, unless?
My board defaults to 800mhz as well and I'm running a 720. You have to keep in mind that they have to make the boards default to the lowest common denominator as not everyone runs 1066 capable memory on their board (even though Manufacturers may spec the memory so). I also have to manually bump up the voltage, as well as timings and ratio for 1066. But, my Mushkin ram plugged in and booted with no problems, but I did have to bump up the voltage and tighten up the timings even at 800.
Interesting (Abut BIOS version 1.74). I guess it is not yet available for downloads.
So now Intel CPU's have the memory controller on the die (just like AMD). So does this prove as an advantageous concept? I expect Intel to implement better memory management than AMD. AMD drops speed when all 4 memory banks are occupied... what is the use of utilizing max RAM capability if memory controller cannot sustain the max RAM speed?
I may agree with you on the concept that motherboard should support the lowest (RAM) denominator...
However if someone uses lower than 1066 MHz sticks, system should detect accordingly, and when 1066 sticks are used, auto-detect as 1066... I still do not see the issue here. On former nVidia based boards like my MSI K9A Platinum SLI (with an AMD X2 CPU), 800 MHz modules are detected as 800 on auto, no need to manually tweak anything in BIOS. I still have to see an nVidia EPP profile enabled board which is claimed to auto detect 1066 MHz capable memory sticks by default.
On my system it is also the same... I have to up the RAM voltage to 2.2V (otherwise system is not stable), as well as setting up the timings and of course the RAM/FSB speed ratio to 1:2.66.
I am running currently 4 chips of OCZ platinum 2 GHZ (for a total of 8 GB RAM, for 64 bit Vista and Linux). Also with mine (as we know Phenom II does not support 4 sticks of 1066 MHz) it drops to 800 MHz. As well as, I needed to bump the voltage to 2.2 V... otherwise in the middle of operation, system reboots. We know what this is about, dont we ?

DKA790GX Platinum Bad, Cause?

So over the weekend I transplanted my DKA790GX Platinum from my Antec Nine Hundred Two to a Thermaltake Kandalf LCS liquid cooled case. I ran the system for 24 hours without the 24 pin and 4 pin power to make sure there were no leaks and all was good. I hooked up the motherboard and booted it up. I ran Orthos for about 15 minutes and the computer powered down. All of the BIOS settings were the "fail safe" settings except for 2.1v on the memory and 1066Mhz for the Kingston HyperX.
System Config:
DKA790GX Platinum
AMD 940 BE 3.0Ghz
8 Gb (4 x 2gb) Kingston HyperX
2 x Radeon HD4870
Corsair TX850 Power Supply
DLink Wireless-N PCI Card
I disconnected the 24pin and 4 pin and jumpered the powersuppy and everything in the computer powered up. I connected the 4 Pin and 24 Pin connector to the motherboard and everything would power on briefly, for a split second. LED's on the fans would flash and fans would rotate slightly. I removed all but memory and cpu and removed the motherboard from the chassis and hooked up the 4 pin and jumpered the 24 pin, and the same would happen. The fan on the power supply would rotate slightly and power off. I used another 350w power supply from another computer and hooked up the 4 pin and nothing would happen. I hooked up the Corsair 850w Power Supply to the other computer and it powered up fine. So I have narrowed it down that it's the Motherboard. The same happened before with an earthwatts 750 power supply and figured it was the power supply. I exchanged the power supply for a Corsair TX850 and everything worked fine. I also tried another CPU and RAM. Could this have been something that the motherboard was already bad (purchased from Newegg.com as an "Open Box" purchase) on 3/22/2009. If not, what could have possibly happened to cause the motherboard to fail?

Quote
8 Gb (4 x 2gb) Kingston HyperX
Set the memory to DDR800 speed, 1066 only works well with 1 stick per channel, 2 per channel is mostly causing problems.
(See sticky about it)
Powerdown is mostly due to an overheating CPU, check the BIOS how hot it becomes.
When it does get very hot, redo the CPU-cooler.
In my opinion you made a mistake with it.

New Computer locks up then loses some bios settings

I just built a new system with the following pieces
2.40 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 4000
Board: MS-7025
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 02/17/2005

NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT bfg oc agp
Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W

photosmart printer card reader (HPH11) [Hard drive] -- drive 2
PLATINUM 080G 2F5400 USB Device [Hard drive] (81.96 GB) -- drive 1
Occasionally system will have a hard freeze and require a reboot. When this happens some of my bios setting change (agp becomes pci, I have to setup raid0 again and video card memory becomes 128). This does not happen after a normal startup and no other changes occur i.e. time and date are not reset. Thanks for any help.
Clint

You lose of bios settings is classic lack of power. The 12v output for Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W is only 18a MAX, meaning you will essentially run @ about 12a under normal conditions. This isn't enough power for the Neo 2, which likes good clean power in the 24a range.

P6N Platinum Bios Resetting on Boot

Hi all,
I've got a P6N Platinum that the bios resets on almost every day.
-I turn the PC off each night (start - shutdown - from windows)
-When I turn it on in the morning (pressing the power button) it lights up, but I get no video.
-All four lights are green on the D bracket.
-If I press and hold the power button until it turns off, the turn it back on, the same thing happens.
-If I just press the reset button, it boots with the bios reset. I have to go in and set the time and disable the onboard audio (since I have an X-Fi). And any other settings I've tweaked are gone (I've only changed memory timings - but it runs ok on auto).
-Once I reset the bios it works fine the rest of the day - even if I reboot it or power it off and back on.
-I'm not overclocking or doing SLI
Sounds like a battery problem, but it's connected to AC all of the time.
System Specs:
Core2Duo E6600
EVGA 8800 GTX KO
2 GB Corsair RAM
Creative X-FI
300 GB Seagate SATA drive (boot)
Lite-On DVD Drive (IDE)
Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
Antec Sonata case with SmartPower2 450W PS.
All new.
Thanks,
Sweeps

If the system locks up or crashes once fully booted into the O/S, and will not re-boot on subsequent attempts, it should reset BIOS to "Optimized Defaults", telling you, "Warning!!! The previous performance of overclocking has failed... Please press any key to continue...". Afterwhich, it will boot with the default settings.
If, instead, it successfully re-boots within three attempts of the three-finger-salute boot after the lock-up, it should maintain the user selected BIOS settings.
That's normal.
I am beginning to think MSI has come up with a "learning" or "self-healing" BIOS. What few little annoying problems I've had are slowly disappearing, one boot at a time.
When you are playing Lord of the Rings do you get physical; shaking or striking your desk or computer? Could be loose wires. I know my truck acts like that at times.
I see that message in the manual, but I have never received it. It's never taken three attempts - just one. And, the problem occurs after a normal shutdown. (but so far only after the game has crashed).
I've been known to turn my keyboard into popcorn before, but not with this system!! - YET!
