Dka790gx platinum

hello, I checked to see if there was any updates for my motherboard, it seems to have been removed from msi site (and never existed according to the search engine) I downloaded live update 5 which only recognised my 295 gtx (made by gainwood ) I am guessing this is not supported any longer so there will be no further updates? bios is 1G and i just updated network driver from realtek's site, is this what I need to do from now?
thanks.
also wanted to check cpu compatibilty to see if this is worth updating.
thanks again.

It's here, maybe you were searching for the wrong thing...

Are you having any problems? If not, then there is no need to update drivers. And please uninstall LiveUpdate 5, it is not very useful, and potentially dangerous.

  • 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?

    Hello everyone,
    I bought this mb: MSI MB DKA790GX PLATINUM 790GX VGA PLUS Sock AM2 DDR2 1066 ATX. Until yesterday, the site was reported msi official support to the new six-core AMD, including the model 1055T-125watt, but now it seems no longer so?
    Can you tell me why?

  • Difference between DKA790GX and DKA790GX Platinum

    I'm trying find the difference between the
     DKA790GX  and DKA790GX Platinum.
    From what i can tell in the spec the only diff is the firewire port and about £20.
    anyone else know ?
    rgds

    And....the Platinum version is black!!!  That alone would be worth the extra $20 bucks to me.  It's gotta look good when you open the case.

  • 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.
       

  • DKA790GX Platinum & USB +5V Standby Voltage.

    Hi All,
    Has anyone managed to get USB Standby +5V to work on a DKA790GX Platinum?
    All my other MSI m/boards allow 5Volts to the USB, so that wireless mice can be charged whilst off etc, but this board does not do that.
    I contacted MSI and they said
    ' This is the BIOS spec. And we will not supply the 5V standby voltage when the motherboards is powered off.
    Sorry for any inconvenience caused.'
    Anyone know why the DKA790GX Platinum is the exception? Should I request a BIOS update?
    Any help welcome.
    Affable99

    Many thanks Bas & Aramus8.
    It works, thank you - but my users are asking 'How much power gets consumed in Standby?', to which I have no answer.
    I guess things have moved on. All my boards are MSI, even my old KM2M Combo - and they all gave 5V at power off.
    Looks like Standby is the future.
    Any ideas how much power is being used? The standby obviously keeps the memory going, as the emergence from standby returns you to the same user instance!
    Any thoughts welcome.

  • MSI DKA790GX Platinum & AHCI

    Friends...
    I wanna use AHCI to MSI DKA790GX Platinum Motherboard.
    How should i do.
    aung khaing

    Hello!
    You need a lot of components to be able to use AHCI. PSU, processor, memory, etc. etc.
    Have a look in BIOS under Integrated Peripherals. If you run XP I suggest you do not change to AHCI.

  • Cpu cooler with DKA790GX Platinum

    Hello, planing on buying DKA790GX Platinum with a Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition, my question is about what cpu cooler fits the best on this board? Would a TRUE (Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme) fit or will it cover 2 or more memory slots? Or maybe someone can recommend a great cpu cooler for this motherboard. Thanks.
    // Gras

    This is what I use.
    http://tinyurl.com/amb8k5
    It's gotten good reviews
    The thing points towards the back of the case (which i like cause I have a fan back there blowing air OUT the case) so without the fan it will not cover the memory. With the fan on it will barely be over the first memory. Though this isn't a problem unless you have some memory with some tall heat sink attached. I was able to move the memory from slots 3-4 to slots 1-2 without removing the fan and just sliding is up a little. Does use the same annoying (to me) wire fan holders like the Thermalright. Best to attach the thing before you put the motherboard in the case, Could be a pain in the a** otherwise depending on your case, (though I was able to do it with some pain and suffering).
    Oh yes..i'm using the same CPU you plan to buy.

  • DKA790GX platinum eterna reboot

    Config :
    DKA790GX Platinum
    4 Gb DDR2
    HDD sata 150 Go
    Gainward Radeon HD4870
    The problem : I have to use the reset button on mainboard to boot my computer after using the on/off button of the mainboard or the computer box. So i've update the bios to 1.7. Now my computer start, detect the drivers (CD and HDD) and then reboot again and again and again ...
    I've tried to use one of the 2 memory, i've test the HDD on another Computer, i've tried to use the mainboard graphic card instead of the gainward, i've change the mainboard for another DKA790GX Platinum with the same problem. I don't see the solution.
    Any idea ?

    Sorry, not read the guide :
    phenom II X4 940
    DKA790GX PLATINUM

    GainWard HD4850 ATI 512Mb DDR3

    Windows XP
    Alim 600 Watt XILENCE
    Now i've put one memory stickin the first slot and the system start but with a Bad Bios Chesksum. Starting Bios recovery.
    I've download the last bios version 1.7 and put the A7550AMS.170 file on USB Key. I've the message Reading file "A7550AMS.1xx" but nothing happened next. What is the way to flash the bios now ?

  • DKA790GX Platinum Issues

    Just put together a system:  DKA790GX Platinum, PhenomII 940, Corsair Dominator PC2-8500 (2 x 2 GB), Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer CPU Cooler, OCZ Stealth XStream 600W Power Supply.  Anyway, I'm just trying to get it to boot up, but am not getting a signal sent to my monitor at all.  Any ideas on what I can do so remedy this?
    Thanks.

    Quote from: walkerx on 16-February-09, 08:46:02
    if that is the case then why do msi incorperate it into the bios? especially with the DKA790GX when it is an amd/ati motherboard and not nvidia/intel
    surely it should either not be there, or the option disabled
    Cool, nVidia or somebody must have allowed MSI to read the EPP timings and use them.
    They always have been restricted by nVidia to use with their chipset only and they also where too tight for AMD.
    Something must have changed by the last AMD board release.
    Thanks for pointing this out to me!

  • DKA790GX PLATINUM NB VOLTAGE

    Hi Guys, Is it true you need to up the NB voltage if you are overclocking the memory here it is....
    My rig
    9950BE AMD
    DKA790GX PLATINUM
    2X 4870 ATI
    2X SEAGATES TB IN RAID0
    FATAL1TY SOUND BLASTER PLATINUM
    1200 WATT PSU
    4X OPTIC DRIVES
    4 GIGS OCZ PC28500 1066
    The problem is what is normal voltages for this system ? I change the timing to 5-5-5-15-30 T2 @2.1 VOLTS
    Change the NB voltage 1.25 the system is stable at this point.Is it better to change the FSB or the muti.X. Thanks for the help

    Thanks for the fast reply, Do you thank it is a good idea to raise the NB voltage a step or two.
    I thank it helps the memory controller some If you are running tight timing on the memory?
    Thanks for the help...

  • DKA790GX Platinum, Unable to delete Raid set.

    Back in mid February I wrote in with an issue regarding side port memory, this problem evolved to where the system would shut down even whilst in Bios. I used your wonderful flash utility to update the Bios from 1.1 to 1.3 and finally to 1.6 with no improvement, thanks again to Bas and Walker X for their kind input.
    The board was returned and six weeks later a replacement arrived, this new board is now up and running with a fresh installation of XP pro and latest drivers from MSI.
    The problem I have now, two of the samsung drives were setup as Raid 0 on the old board, when connected to the new board, bios changed to accommodate, from boot the drives are scanned and reported as ID 01 Mode 2+0 Raid 0 LD Size 639.99 Track-Mapping 65535/255/63 Functional. when I press Ctrl F to enter fast build utility, I am taken to the Bios setup screen? and not fast build.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    I would like to format these drives for re use, can I do this in windows or must I delete Raid set first via fast build utility?
    The fresh installation drive is disconnected during the above process.
    System spec.
    DKA790GX Platinum with 1.6 Bios chip.
    AMD Athlon X2 7750BE Retail.
    Crucial 2x2GB DDR PC2-8500.
    3X Samsung F1 SATA 11 320GB Drives.
    Jeantech Orchid 500Watt PSU

    Thanks Svet for your fast responce, please excuse my lack of knowledge on Raid, the above was the first Raid set ever configured.
    With Raid set to IDE in Bios, this shows as one drive (E) in my computer, do I format 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.
