DKA790GX Platinum. Not posting and no beaps

I read a similiar post regarding this and the author solved his problem, but I am unable to solve mine. So here it goes:
My System:
An AMD chip and for the life of me I can't remember what exactly it is....and New Egg doesn't show it on my order history.
EVGA 512-P3-N871-AR GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory (two cards, total of 8gb)
550 watt psu
I have had the computer for almost 3 years and it was a self build. I don't protest to be an expert, but this is my fourth build and I haven't had many problems that I haven't been able to fix myself until now. This computer has been a great computer so far.
Last night I was on the internet and the monitor went black and said, "No signal". I thought it was a cord issue so I replaced it, but the result was the same. I brought out a brand new monitor that I have (but smaller) and the result was the same.
I also noticed the keyboard light went off, but the fans and hdd were still humming.
I powered off using the tower switch since the buttons on the case were non-responsive.
I removed the gfx card and remounted several times with no change.
I removed the ram out of dimm2, powered on and no change. I removed the ram of dimm1, powered on and no change. I removed all of the ram and there was no change. By 'no change' I mean the hdd and fans come on, but no beeps, no keyboard lights and no POST. I tried dimm3 and dimm4, but there was no change.
I removed the gfx card completely and plugged my monitor cable into the onboard vga slot, but still no luck (no beeps, no lights, no POST, but hdd and fans work).
I pushed the onboard "Reset" button and powered on, but there was no change.
I pushed the onboard "Clear CMOS" button and powered on, but there was no change.
I have not replaced the battery because I only thought the battery was to save bios information and wouldn't effect POST.
I have not removed the processor to inspect it.
I have not smelled any frying and all connectors/capacitors look good (as far as I can tell).
I can't tell if it is my processor or my MOBO, but I am starting to lean toward the board. What do you guys think?
According to MSI there is a three year manufacturere limited warranty on the board. I have had it 2.5 years now. I am not sure if it would still be covered.

Did your MOBO work with an nVidia graphics card ? AFAIK it will not work. If I'm wrong, please corret.

With regards to your statement, swordfish666, Nvidia graphics cards work with AMD chipset mainboards, and vice versa. And taxx's has been working in his for three years.

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.

Dbracket LEDs showing - Initializing faulty drive controller
LED 1/3/4 - Green

This is a brand new system. Would adding another floppy drive help to solve this problem? Or is the built-in floppy controller busted?
CPU - E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz
RAM - G.Skill x4 1 GB ddr2 800

PSU - Antec 550w trio
Unable to pass post and we have no visual on the monitor. Please advise with regards to further action to take. I oft see suggestions of removing RAM and booting with a single stick. Is this advisable towards troubleshooting? Or is this something that isn't passed previous to the floppy controller check that is coming up faulty? Thanks in advance.
Edit: Attempted to boot with different 1 stick of RAM variations. On one attempt recieved brief life on the screen as it toggled between analog and stereo and was then unresponsive after a few seconds along with each subsequent attempt.

Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 03-June-07, 11:38:46
so with one memory stick system booting normal?
No with 4, or with just 1 of the 4 sticks (placement being in the DIMM slot nearest the CPU) our results are the same as my initial post. We have nothing visable on the screen, just black, all connections were secure, power to cpu, 24 pin in correctly, all we ever recieve is 1/3/4 green on the LED and 2 red denoting floppy disk problems. We can't even get into bios as we have nothing on the screen.
Also, I should note that we are imaging a hd on the computer next to it and are swapping the monitor when we are booting up the new system so the monitor does in fact work.

890FXA-GD70-Not Posting and Memory Issues

Purchased new 890FXA-GD70 board over the weekend and I am having problems after new build. Board will not post with 2 stick of Corsair DDR3 4GB PC1600 in slots 1 and 2. I removed one stick in slot 2 and board posted. I installed all drivers and Win 7 pro and added the second stick into slot 2 and will not post again. I moved the 2GB stick to slot 3 and the computer boots and seems to run fine. Should'nt DDR3 be run in slots 1 and 2?
System
CPU-AMD Phenom II x4 945
Motherboard-890FXA-GD70
Memory-Corsair DDR3 4GB 2 sticks at 2GB each PC1600 Dual
Video Card-EVGA GTS250 512MB
Hard Drives-Western Digital Black Edition 500Gb
OS-Windows 7 Professional
Power Supply-Corsair 750

After checking the boards and google search, it appears that several other people are having the same issue. If the memory sticks are placed in dimm1 and dimm3 the board seems to post and runs fine. But that will not produce dual channel memory. Should I change memory to another brand? What is the best memory for this board. The computer has been running all day and seems to be stable but, just worried that memory is still incorrect and only have 10 days to return to Frys. I have also flashed the bios to 1.6! It appears that after reading several other post on this forum, they had to return the board, could I have a bad board?

Audigy 1 Platinum (not eX) and 5.1 Headphones - Not Compatib

Hello.
I recently bought a pair of Zalman 5. channel headphones over the net and am finding trouble with my Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum.
The Headphones have 3 jacks. Front, Rear and Centre.
My Soundblaster Audigy has the following ports. Digital, Line In, Mic, Line Out (Front), Rear Out.
What do I do with the "centre" jack? Are these headphones incompatabible with the Audigy? Do I have to by a new Audigy 2 ZS?

Hi,
The Digital output jack also doubles as the centre/sub channel. If oyu check page 39 of the Audigy Platinum manual available here http://files.europe.creative.com/manualdn/Manuals/TSD/040/Sound%20Blaster%20Audigy%20Platinum%20Users%20Guid e%20English.pdf you'll get a diagram of how to hook your system up.
Hope this helps,
John

P7N SLI Platinum -- not posting

Everything's hooked up, powered up, and spinning, just no signal to the monitor. With the PSU on, there's one red LED lit on the mobo, powering on the machine adds a blue one to the mix. Graphics card gives two green lights on its power jacks, indicating proper power. I know the monitor works, I took it from another machine I have, mouse and keyboard work, and I've tried switching memory configs and just one stick (2G). I've also cleared the CMOS several times.
Updated: I've taken everything out of the case and have tried with just PSU, GPU, memory, CPU, and heatsink -- same results.
Anybody, good news? Many thanks...
-jmp8

Just got the new mobo, it works!
Now, though, BSOD as Vista boots up "for the first time." That's after the installation from DVD, before it actually gets to fully boot from HD. There's only been extra information one out of probably about 15 screens - IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I've tried disabling everything fancy in the BIOS - onboard USB, LAN, etc., still no dice.
BIOS reports everything correctly - quad core 2.4, 4G RAM, 500GB HD, etc.
There's not much hardware I can take out/disable - no onboard video means I have to use the video card (known working, I had it tested), trying to boot from the HD (reported good via Vista's diagnostics on the installation disc), Memory reported fine by diags, gotta have the optical drive connected to complete installation...
Is there a BIOS update I need or something else I'm missing?
EDIT:
Through a couple reformats and repartitions (just one partition) and reseating the video card/memory, I got Vista installed. Whoo! Set everything up, downloaded video drivers, restarted, everything's just fine. This continues for a bit, then another BSOD. Safe mode (with and without networking) works fine, and I tried uninstalling the new video drivers, but no luck.
UPDATED UPDATE:
The blue screens hang on "Initializing disk for crash dump...", and in safe mode, when going to "Manage Computer" and selecting "Disk Configuration," I get a blue screen every time when it tries to populate the info. HD problem?
Thanks again!

MSI Big Bang Xpower II did not post - Debug LED Code #67

I need HELP...!
I have a problem my board did not post , did not start and i have the DEBUG LED CODE # 67 displayed.
There is my build
MSI Big Bang Xpower II X79 LGA2011
Intel Core i7 3820 LGA2011 Processor
Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 CPU Cooler System LGA2011
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series memory (F3-12800CL-32GBZL) DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 - CL10-10-10-30 (8192MB X 4) - 32GIG located in DIMM 1-3-5-7
Gigabyte GTX570 OC Edition video card in slot PCI-E2
Western Digital Velociraptor 300GB 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s 10,000 RPM
LG BH12LS35 Blu-Ray Writer 12X BD-R 16X
Ultra LSP-750 Power Supply
Cooler Master HAF X EATX Tower Case
When I put the power on, the power supply activated fans and drives spin, all the LEDs on the motherboard light up but nothing appears on the screen.
No video signal at all and the computer stop and restrart every 15 seconds. When these reset occurs there is no beep on the speaker , nothing at all, no flashing screen either, nothing.
The DEBUG LED display a sequence of flashing numbers 19 - 60 - 19- 60 - 67 and stop showing still the number # 67 for about ten seconds and then he reset again.
I carefully followed the instruction manual for the installation, I installed the memory modules in slots 1 3 5 7, i put my video card in slot PCI-E2. all the power wire are connected correctly 1 x 24 pins ATX, 2 x 8 pins ATX, 1 X 6 pins , all the wire from the front panel are correctly connected to the m-connector in JFP1 & 2.
Did i forget something, I don’t know what the debug led code # 67 exactly mean and what i have to do to fix-it
Someone has an idea what is wrong or have any suggestion to solve this issue.
Thank's all for your help.

I followed some advice to remove the memory modules and this is actually caused by the use of memory but you will see I still have a curious bug.
I referred to the instructions manual to the letter for the choice of DIMM SLOT to put the memory module in single, double, triple and quad channels.
If I install 1 memory module in the DIMM SLOT 1 to operate in single channel, everything is normal and the motherboard POST normally and show the SETUP SCREEN.
If I install 2 memory modules in DIMM SLOT 1 & 3 to run in dual channel, everything is normal and the motherboard POST normally and show the SETUP SCREEN.
If I install three memory modules in DIMM SLOT 1 - 3 - 5 to run in triple channel, everything is normal and the motherboard POST normally and show the SETUP SCREEN.
As soon as I install four DIMMs modules mémoiredans SLOT 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 to run in quad channel, the motherboard freezes and does NOT POST and show code 67 on the debug led and has reset itself every 20 seconds.
I tried all my RAM modules alternately in both single channel and everything works normally.
I did the same thing in rotation for both dual and triple channel and everything is still normal with all fourth memory modules individually.
As soon as I put a fourth memory module it freezes and displays the code 67 or L9 dependent side as you look.
So my bug is my motherboard MSI Big Bang Xpower II do not want to work in quad channel.
Do you have any idea where I should look for, is a setting in the BIOS , I have flashed the bios to the latest version V1.5
I included the screenshot of the BIOS to see if you can notice something wrong.
Thank you

AFAR test run showing the values but not posting in Real run.

Hi Friends,
i have an issue with AFAR recalculating the depreclation. The details are as below;
1. Asset value date is 15.07.2010. but ordinary dep. start date was set as 01.01.2010 manually by the user.
2. The Period control method 11, the dep. is calculated for entire year for acquisition.
3. we have already calculated depreciation from period 12 2010 to period 04, 2011.
4. Now, we have changed ordinary depreciation start date for 5 asset records from 01.01.2010 to 15.07.2010.
5. Therefore, we recalculated AFAR for these assets for 2010 and test run is showing the values for these 5 asset. The same was expected by the business.
6. When we execute the real run, it is not posting and no change in asset explorer for period 12, 2010 or in current period. No error message is available in spool / job log.
We have opened FI periods as well.
My question is that why the system calculating the values in test run and if it is calculated in test run, why it is not posting in update run?
As per the period control method, the depreciation should not recalculated for half year even we change the ordinary dep,start date from 1st Jan to 15th July.
I request you to clarify my doubt and help me to understand the error which is stoping the values in update run of AFAR.
Best Regards,
Padmaja

Hi,
Sorry...it is not worked out. Alternatively, i tried the shift factor with variable depreciation and i achieved the values which appeared in AFAR test run.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Padmaja

Reg: Manual BRS documents not posted

User done the manual bank reconciliation with the wrong Transaction(II01 for check issued) for one of the below document clearing document with total amount of 1000
vendor a/c dr 800
bank charges dr 200
bank clearing a/c cr 1000
transaction II01 for checks issues for 800
Transaction II02 for bank charges for 200
above transactions should be considered but the user considered II01 for check issues for total amount 1000 and the document not posted and the remaining docs were posted.
using FEBAN i am unable to post the above clearing document, Pl let me know in this regard.
Thanks,

Hi Mukhtar,
Thanks for your reply, but I don't want to post this difference to any account. Shall I achieve this with any interpretation algorithm or with Value date field as in variant for clearing outgoing bank account. So system will pick the reference as value date for clearing of bank payment related transaction in different currency.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Ashish.

K9N2 plat does not post

I have been having multiple issues with my system and I later determined that it was the power supply. I replaced the PSU and I also got a new case in the process. I installed everything in the new case including the PSU. I turned it on to test the system before I put all the USB stuff and peripherals into the mobo and it works good, everything is normal, but once I hooked all my peripherals like my keyboard, mouse, monitor it completely stopped posting the little LEDs are all red and the speaker does not make a beep. I unhooked it all and the problem still persisted. Then i took out my GPU and tried to turn it on and still and the LEDs are red I took out the mobo out of the case took all but one stick of ram off the mobo and hooked it up to the PSU and still it does not post, and the LEDs are still red. Can someone tell me how to fix this problem or do i need to get a new mobo all together?

Read the posting guide as Stu says and post your system specs.
To start with clear the CMOS: >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

Pavillion dv6000 will not POST

Forgive me as I know this has been asked repeatedly. I have searched the forums and tried quite a few suggestions, but I'm getting nowhere fast.
This laptop will not POST, and always gives a black screen. No beeps. When powered on, I get no CAPS lock/NUM lock lights. I do get a light from the power button and across the DVD strip. The hard drive led will flash once when powered on. The fan comes on briefly and then the computer shuts down.
I have removed the main battery and used the AC charger with the same results, which should rule out the charger as the culprit. I have reseated the memory chips. I have disconnected the CMOS battery and let it sit for a while, but no start-up. I also connected an external monitor, but got nothing.
Do I need to open this thing up and poke around or should consider a mobo replacement?

Dka790gx platinum will not post

Hi
Just started a new build and the above board will not post.
I have radeon 4850, 1 x hdd, 1 x dvd, 1 x 2 gig ram 1066, phenom II 940, antec earthwatt 850.
I went through the following process of elimination.
taken board out of chasis, only used 1 stick of ram, used onboard vga and dvi, cleared cmos, removed battery,tried another psu but this is a 550 watt hiper.
the green sticker on the bios reads 160 so i guess it has the correct bios.
Stumped now..Dont know whether its the board or the cpu thats the problem.
Any ideas thanks

Update.
The vendor tested the board and it posted for them ok. I spoke to their technical dept and they tried it with an older processor. I sent my processor and ram and they tested these and the board posted.
I received the board, ram and cpu back today. Set it up with a minimum of hardware and it still wont post.
I havent been able to speak to the technician but the only thing I can think of is the psu.
I have an antec eathwatt 650 (not 850 as previously posted..typo). This psu works as it has been use in my current setup with an intel core 2 duo 6400.
What psu's are people using with this board and processor. Phenom II x4 940.
thanks

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 ?

K9A2 Platinum - Will not post... need help.

mobo: k9a2 platinum
cpu: am2 6400 black edition OR phenom 9750
ram: super talent ddr2 800 OR corsair dominator ddr2 1066 - have both been tried single stick only
video card: msi nvidia 9600gt OR ati x300 - used ati card to test video card failure
power supply: 610w pc power and cooling
hdd: seagate barracuda 250gb 32mb cache
OK... original configuration, being the phenom 9750 with the corsair dominator ram, and the nvidia 9600gt.
would not post, black screen... with 2 fast short beeps(1 long beep?) and 6 short beeps, for a beep code... which isn't even covered in the manual or anywhere online for some reason
it has been stated that the bios has to be flashed to the latest version in order to accept the phenom processors... so i then took a am2 6400 and put it in.
proceeding with the same beeps, i took out the ram and replaced it with a stick of super talent ddr2 800, dimm1 slot, single channel. it's also been stated in various comments that this motherboard doesn't initially accept dual channel, nor 1066 ram. i get the same beeps out of the dimm1 slot. i take the stick out and place it in the dimm3 slot... beeps go away, but the black screen remains.
i try different video card configurations, trying the two different video cards in either of the two pci-x 16 slots, black screen remains. in my last configuration, the beeps come back, so i am at a total loss.
anybody able to help me out?

Have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<< yet? (With power cord removed from the PSU)
What keyboard you use?
Have you connected power cable for VGA?

DKA790GX Platinum. Not posting and no beaps
