Eclipse SLI issue with OCZ SSD

I have been trying to install windows 7 on my SSD: OCZ agility 60 gig sataII , and fails every time.
I have confirmed it not the install disk / memory / switching sata cable's
Other strange issue is every time I attempt to install windows 7 on the ssd it error's up 0X80070002 i did go to m$ web site and search the error and ran the FIX IT tool, and attempt again with fail same error code... Another strange issue every time I attempt to install w7 after it error's out and i reboot the motherboard doesn't see the ssd any more and the only was to see it is run a repair on windows 7 and it will see the install but not the hdd to install it on.. (After I disconnect the sata cable and reconnect it, then it see's it again)
Any Idea;s my last resort is attempting a "Windows 7 – VHD Boot" on it.

Added: Just curious. Is this a SATA III 6Gb/s drive? Do you have it jumpered for 3GB/s operation? Or is it a SATA II 3Gb/s WD connected to SATA port 6?
"WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA HD 7200/64MB/SATA-6G "bought from tigerdirect iteam number no longer brings up any info(as usual)
Quote from: HU16E on 23-December-10, 06:37:13
Is it possible to try the SSD on another system? To completely rule out the SSD itself as being in some way faulty?
If some one wants to supply It, I be gladly to attempt another go at it..If not every one gate to wait for OCZ to rma the sdd and send me a different one.

  • Frequent issues with supplied SSD in 17" 2011 MBP

    Hi all,
    Perhaps someone can help?
    I've recently (in the last couple of months) been having problems with the SSD in my early-2011 17" MBP. The model of the SSD (from System Profiler) is APPLE SSD TS256C.
    The problems eems to occur after emptying the Trash when it has files of large sizes in it (video files of 1 or more GB typically). I empty the Trash, and the available space showing for the drive gets bigger,a s expected, but then when I try to make use of the drive (for example by copying files from another drive to it) I am told there isn't enough free space (when there clearly ought to be).
    Example from earlier today:
    I had 60GB available.
    I put around 30 GB of stuff in the Trash and emptied it.
    Available space now shows 90GB free.
    I try to copy 75GB from an external drive onto the SSD, but am told there isn't enough free space.
    In a attempt to fix the problem, I did what I have done on the 3 previous occassions: Restart the computer, hold down Cmd+R and run Disk Utility from there. Here I can repair the SSD (as it has the OS on).
    This is what Disk Utility showed me:
    Verifying volume “Hard Drive”
    Checking file systemPerforming live verification.
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking extents overflow file.
    Checking catalog file.
    Incorrect block count for file Hospital Records - 100k YouTube Subscribers.mov
    (It should be 11029 instead of 144729)
    Incorrect block count for file Netsky Live - Backstage at the Electric Brixton.mov
    (It should be 12062 instead of 606074)
    Incorrect block count for file Netsky Live - Lotto Arena 2013 Promo.mov
    (It should be 7177 instead of 135443)
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking catalog hierarchy.
    Checking extended attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Volume bitmap needs minor repair for orphaned blocks
    Checking volume information.
    Invalid volume free block count
    (It should be 11712443 instead of 10811938)
    The volume Hard Drive was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
    I ran it a couple of times (as on previous occasions) until no errors were reported.
    On previous occassions, upon restarting, things went back to normal, but this time I am still being told there is not enough free space, though Get Info shows 121GB available.
    So I have some questions:
    What is going on?
    Why does this keep happening?
    What can I do to solve my current issue?
    What can I do to stop this from happeneing again?
    Many thanks in advance...

    I'd totally forgotten about this until I got a notification that you had replied.
    I no longer have this problem.vaguely remember calling up Crucial (who make my second SSD) and they said something about leaving the machine on, but not doing anything on it for 24 hours or something. So it has to stay switched on, not go to sleep (dim your screen though) and don't touch your keyboard or mouse for a full 24 hours... maybe it was a bit longer... maybe it had to be at the login screen (can't remember)... and in this time it will run some automatic repair thing.
    It was so long ago I really can't remember the spcifics - but have a hunt around for things to that effect. Or call Apple/Crucial and mention what I've just said, see if it makes any sense to them and get them to advise the exact corect procedure.

  • SLI issue with N660Ti-2GD5/OC (new bios request)

    Hi,
    It started all with issue regarding SLI performance under F1 2012 game.
    When SLI is enable I can't get more then 30FPS average. I try changing SLI rendering mode with no luck... nothing change.
    I noticed that when SLI is enable I only get 25% GPU usage per card and my 3D GPU clock is not reaching MSI declare speed.
    When SLI disable everything is working normally. I get 58FPS average, 95-100% GPU usage and my 3D GPU clock is working at MSI declare speed (I think it is 1020MHz).
    So I suppose that this is negative SLI scaling...
    I was doing some testing and SLI (I have enable show SLI visual indicator) doesn't work properly in any game that I have install on my pc (F1 2010, BF3, BC2 and NFS Shift).
    I have same issue in all games: low gpu usage, 3d clocks doesn't reach declare speed (with three, two or only one monitor connected).
    So next I installed Heaven Benchmark 4.0 and started testing and for some unexplainable reason SLI is working normally.
    After that I started games again but no GO ... again in games SLI is not working correctly.
    I was thinking that maybe my SLI profile are not working right... so I decided to change driver, I try 320.14 and 314.22 nothing change - SLI not working correctly.
    Then I download nvida inspector and try to define SLI profile for those games - nothing change - SLI still not working correctly.
    I even try to disable first card through device manager so I can test the second card and vice verse, separately both cards are working normally.
    So only in Haven benchmark 4.0 SLI is working correctly I have GPU usage of 95% and declare speed for 3D clocks.
    I have Win8x64 (fresh install), nothing overclocked, I enable Prefer maximum performance in nVidia drivers and disable V-sync. CPU Fx-8350, Asus sabertooth fx990 rev.2 (latest bios), 1200W chieftec power supply and everything is properly connected.
    Is there a new bios release for my cards? Maybe this could solve my issue? And who can supply me with new bios?
    Sorry for long post but I am really desperate... any thoughts or maybe solution.
    Regards

    Well my monitor doesn't support more then 1680x1050, but still if this is the case I think that ATI is the way to go... my humble opinion.
    So now I can sell my second card because SLI doesn't work... I am totally depressed.
    Ok but can someone please,please supply me with new firmware for the cards? I just one to try it just to know that I tried everything before I go and sell those cards and go for ATI solution.
    Regards

  • SLI issue with 2xMSI 6800GT

    Finally got my sli rig here, but nothing seems to work as it should do :(
    Here are my specs;
    MSI K8N Diamond sli
    2x MSI 6800GT
    Corsair 1gig cl2
    a64 3500+
    psu - enermax 600W
    Everything runs at stock speeds. The problem is, i got issues like THIS, thats why i cant take shots. All non-sli games run perfect. Cards have latest bios.
    I have no idea what to do now. Is it the cards? The mobo?
    Any suggestions? :(

    Your link provided the answers to your questions. There seems to be some fine-tuning left to do from nVidia. I had read a similar article a few weeks ago, and thus - I purchased the 6600GT PCI-E cards for my SLI system due to those discrepancies. I believe it is an inherent design problem with the higher-end 6800 cards, as described in the article.
    In the meantime, see if enabling "Spread Spectrum" in your BIOS will help.
    Other than that, I would suggest RMA'ing those 6800's in favor of a couple 6600GT's.

  • X200 with OCZ ssd blue screens when booting from docking station

    The x200 blue screens when booting from the docking station. If I take the laptop out of the docking station to boot and then dock once booted the laptop is fine.
    The issue started happening when you I upgraded the laptop form xp to windows 7 and installed an OCZ vertex 2 solid state drive.
    I have tried updating the firmware on the ssd using this utility

  • Issues with Samsung SSD after Mavericks

    I bought a Samsung SSD 830 in the Summer of 2011 (for my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro), and it's been working fantastically until I upgraded to Mavericks. What's peculiar is that my computer works fine when it's plugged in to my Time Machine external HD via Airport. When I disconnect it from my home setup to take it elsewhere, it stops responding after some time. What I mean is that none of my open files (e.g., Word) are able to save, and when I click Finder, it's completely blank and can't take me to any of my folders. Likewise, in the spotlight search, when I try to find a program or file, it does not show me anything aside from a possible definition of the word which I searched from Dictionary.
    I contacted Samsung not too long ago and the tech support guy said that the SSD isn't as good on Macs as it is on PCs, and that I may better be better off returning to the optical HD (which I do not desire to do).
    It's important that I mention no problems with hardware (I brought my laptop to the Apple store and they did not see any damage with wiring and etc. for my HD). Likewise, all the diagnostic tests come in just fine. I also upgraded my RAM to 8 GBs around the same time as installing the HD.
    If the Samsung is truly a lost cause, what would be a recommendation for another quality SSD for my Mac on Maverics?
    Hopefully there is light at the end of this tunnel!

    "The problem was fixed for a little bit, but then arose again...."
    Since the problem was fixed you should do a clean install this time of Mavericks 10.9.1
    You would need to find out which application  / program you install on your clean  MacBook Pro makes your system slow and stop responding.

  • Eclipse SLI slow install of Vista 64 and no bootable raid 0 volume

    I've been trying to install Vista 64 on the MSI Eclipse SLI mobo with 2x Seagate 1.5TB hdd in raid 0. Can someone please help me?
    I have the following:
    1) Onboard ATA Devices set for [RAID]
    2) Use ctl-i to create a raid volume [RAID0] - the volume reads as not bootable
    3) Vista 64 install takes a long long time and does not recognize the disk volumes even with the ICH10R SATA RAID driver.
    MSI Eclipse SLI mobo BIOS v1.8
    OCZ DDR3 1600 mem
    i7 950

    Double and triple checked both the printed manual and the downloadable 7520v1.0 manual and found nothing indicating how to get the RAID 0 volume to become bootable.
    I've tried configuring RAID in two ways:
    1) Setting On-Chip ATA Device to [RAID]
        Creating a RAID0 Volume - Not bootable shows
    - Raid volume was created but was not seen during vista 64 install as valid drives, even after driver was installed.
    2) Setting On-Chip ATA Device to [AHCI]
        Installing the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver
    - Vista 64 install was good but Intel Matrix Storage Manager did not have the action for making an existing device into raid.
    I could however, make the RAID0 partition size smaller (1500TB) and that would allow the drives to show as bootable. There may be a bug with the Intel ATA Driver for drive size or a bug with the Intel RAID Utility (ctl-i).

  • Anyone have issues with Sata 3 SSD in the 2011 Macbook Pro

    Hi Guys and Gals.
    Does anyone have issues with the Macbook Pro 2011 Model with a Sata3 Solid State Drive ?
    I have issues and have a Vertex3 made by OCZ. I am in active discussions with OCZ to find a resolution on their end. I have also contacted Apple Care and Intel and have run into dead ends.
    However I am bringing my MBP for a repair, logic board replacement and will post the results after they change the logic board for me.
    Check my thread on OCZ: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?89970-A-call-to-all-Macbo ok-Pro-2011-Users-with-SATA3-Issues
    Regards,
    Jase

    Well, my My Genius appointment went very much as anticipated - it might well be a SATA III connection but Apple they do not support SATA III drives - least of all other people's.
    Furthermore, they do not actually support anything other than the original configuration as sold - so given that I bought a 750 GB HD version, that is what I am stuck with - I asked Apple (London Regent St) if they could upgrade it to one of their own SSDs if I paid for it - they could not.  They can only repair the machine to its original condition. They could not even advise me as to what Apple co-branded SSD I should look for to be compatible with this model - 512 Gb drives do come up on Ebay - Apple / Toshiba seems to be the normal one - but they couldn't advise if that would work or not. So it could be good money after bad.
    Anyhow, they finally agreed to swap the cable, for a charge, so that will take two or thee days, plus the 5mins to do the job.  I will post the results of the cable swap when I have it. They could not tell me whether it would be a different version of the SATA cable to the one already in the machine - but I asked to keep the old one so I can see if there is any visible difference.
    It does seem strange that Apple support thunderbolt drives - which you can't even buy yet, but don't support SATA III in either Mac Pro or MAcBook Pro given that the full 3.0 standard was released on May 27, 2009.
    Two and a bit years is a long time in tech terms.

    Hotjase, have you come to understand that the issue lies with the logic board? One would hope that Apple would owe up and come forward if there are in fact faulty logic borards. I have read that Apple have gone from 6/3 to 6/6 and then back to 6/3, though I do not know if this is applicable to all MBP models, or just some. As I sayed, I have the 13" model.
    SdeS, what was the result of your talk with the Genius? Did you receive a new cable? If so what result?

  • X58 Eclipse Sli with CMP12GX3M3A1600C9 how to make it run stable in 1600Hz?

    Hello ,
    I m new here, so forgive me if i make a mistake somewhere !
    So my specs are :
    motherboard: X58 Eclipse Sli(bios ver:1.F0 model:MS-7520)
    CPU:i7 950 @ 3,07 (stock)
    GPU: 2x GTX470(msi)
    PSU:Thermaltake 1200watt
    HD:1xSSD , 1xWD@10000rpm
    and here is my story:
    I have been using TR3X6G1600C9(corsair ver8.1) with XMP enabled so in 1600Hz and everything were going sweet stable pc , then i decided to put something more on it another TR3X6G1600C9(corsair) this time came different ver2.5 with XMP profile off seems work fine , with XMP on blue screen-restart so i asked in corsair forum they show a .pdf from corsair which was saying that mixing modules even with same kind of memory there are posibilities it wont be compatible-work.
    Today i just replaced  the 2xTR3X6G1600C9  with CMP12GX3M3A1600C9(corsair) enabled the  XMP profile , everything was looking good all 12gb were working , but after some time i got blue screen and restart :(, so i bet this has to do with options and propably i have to do more than to enable XMP profile in order to make it stable. So any suggetions ? Yes i m totally noob from knowledge in bios only i know is to enable XMP but i m looking forward to learn stuff from ya guys and considering that i might just lost about 230e in order to upgrade ram and i can't make  to work 12gb stable in 1600hz i should of ask much earlier!

  • X99S GAMING 9 AC Not booting - Debug 94 code - Issue with GTX 980 SLI in WoW

    Hello, I bought the X99S GAMING 9 AC motherboard but have ran into some issues.
    The computer won't boot when I put my second MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4 GB card in the last PCEI 3.0 port (PCIE port 5) and I get the debug LED message 94 on the motherboard. I have a SLI setup.
    The first card I have in the second PCIE 3.0 port due to the Noctua U14S CPU fan takes up space for the first slot. So I have been running my grafic cards in PCIE slot 2 and 4 with some issues.
    First the card in slot 2 gets really warm over 86 celsius. And second: SLI runs really poorly in World of Warcraft. I get a lot higher performance with just one card activated. I am not sure if it's cause I am not running my cards in the recommended PCIE 3.0 ports or because WoW has some issues with SLI, but I heard other people have no issues at all with WoW in SLI.
    I got the same issue with 3Dmark firestrike, the cards perform really poor in SLI. I get higher score with SLI turned off..
    Though SLI seems to run pretty well in 3dmark 11 and Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls.
    But the main issue right now, is that the computer won't boot with the grafic cards in PCIE port 2 and 5. The solution to run them next to each other is not good, cause it gets really hot and I get bad performance in WoW and Firestrike.
    Picture of my setup before I switched places with the grafic cards as you can see, it is really tight:
    Any upcoming bios updates (got v1.3) that will solve this issue on the horization? Hopefully this get sorted out really soon..
    My whole computer setup:
    Intel i7 5820K | MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC (bios 1.3) | SLI MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4GB | Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB | WD Red 4TB | G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 3000MHz 4x4GB | EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1000W | Noctua NH-U14S PnP | Fractal Design Define XL R2 | 5 Noctua NF-A14 PWM 140mm fans | Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    You must use the recommended PCIE slots as the manual says for your CPU type, PCIE #1 and PCIE #4 if I remember, just open the manual :P for optimal 2Way SLI, also your 5820k will limit to 28 pcie lanes only if you plan to add more vgas...the other problem is your giant CPU air cooler blocking PCIE#1, do a favor to yourself, buy a watercooler for your 5820k and your problems are gone, add some overclock in your system, low noise and better temps.
    Here I use 3x980 in SLI with X99S Gaming 9 AC, going soon to WC the VGAs with EK blocks.....3way is far more temperature critical than 2way spaced one.
    Cheers

  • Random restarts with Eclipse SLI board

    This is a copy from my post on the Vista forums havent gotten much help there.
    Describe the problem in detail!
    I just built a new system on December 22nd 2008. I do Tier 2 and 3 Helpdesk work so I can work my way around a system. I put the machine together installed Vista did all the updates got all the newest drivers. Basically since I have built the Machine it will just randomly restart. It will not display a BSOD, I have auto restart turned off, and it does not create an event in the event viewer. It is almost like someone touched the reset button.
    When did the problem start?
    December 22nd 2008 the day I built the machine.
    What have you tried to fix it?
    Tried several different BIOS setups. I have upgraed the bios, did all the windows updates, got all the newest drivers for video, audio, lan etc etc. Removed MSI Live Monitor, disabled green power in Bios, and removed overclocking center. Went through event viewer and corrected three of the four errors that was showing up. One error is the Kerebos one and I am not worried about that one.  I have just run both Memtest86 and Memtest86+ and both of them stop responding about half way through the test.
    What is the error message (of any)?
    I have Vista set to not auto restart so I should see a BSOD but I get no message. I have had 4 restarts just today and none of them created a new MEMORY.DMP file or any type of event in the viewer.
    I do get warnings about something called FLASH.SYS but I cannot seem to track down what this is.
    What was the last thing you did before the problem started?
    Built the machine.
    What are your system specs?
    Vista 64
    MSI Eclipse SLI X58
    12 Gigs Crucial ram matched to the MoBo using the crucial matching system on the crucial website. The MoBo supports up to 24 and I am using Vista 64bit.
    Antec P190 Case (Dual power supplies for a total of 1.2 KW of power)
    Intel Core I7 2.66
    Creative Extreme Gamer Edition PCI E sound card
    Mcaffee
    BFG 260 GTX
    Coolmaster V8 cooler (CPU under stress runs about 70f well below the max of 208f)
    Do you have a screenshot?
    Nope
    My next step is to take out 6 gigs of RAM and see if the issue goes away.
    Any suggestions?

    Test one memory module only and see what happens.  If things seem fine, add one more module and test again (and so on).

  • Any SSD issues with early 2009 "silent upgrade" MacBook Pro?

    I was thinking about getting the 2.66ghz March 2009 version of the 15" MacBook Pro (ExpressCard slot version; model MC026LL/A). You can still find them online here and there.
    Does anyone know if this version has the same freezing issues with SATA-II and SSD drives as the June 2009 versions?
    Since I'd like to put in a Crucial M225 SSD, I was hoping this may be a better way to go than a June 09 version.

  • New P7N SLI Platinum Boot Issue with PS/2 Keyboard [Solved but RAID problem now]

    This issue taken me back !!!! Never thought I might face issue with a PS/2 Keyboard.
    Here it is.. I just assembled my new system...
    P7N SLI Platinum Motherboard
    E8400 CPU
    EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR GeForce 8600 GT Video Card
    Creative Soundblaster Audio Card
    So, before I boot, I connected good old PS/2 Keyboard. The POST Screen comes up that says Press DEL to enter BIOS Setup... but then, it reboots.. indefinitely... I have no idea why it does that. However, if I boot the PC with no PS/2 Keyboard connected, POST screen comes up and that's it.. (no reboot). So, you see, I cannot proceed further in anyway.... I cannot go beyond POST without a keyboard, but then with the keyboard it reboots indefinitely... kinda catch 22 situation
    Any suggestion / ideas that anyone can offer here???

    Hello Folks... it took long time to "solve the issue that had to begin with"....
    I purchased a cheapo Celeron processor to get into  the BIOS and update it... but it didn't even work... I couldn't boot at all. So, I called MSI and they asked me to RMA it. They replaced my MOBO with the latest BIOS - which was good news
    So, now, I'm able to boot  - good news...
    Now, this is an upgrade for me.... from my previous MOBO. My boot drive was RAIDed (RAID 0). So, now, I will have to RAID my drives again and run Win XP repair. I was able to RAID my drives and all good... now, I went into Windows installation and did F6 to install NVIDIA Raid.... but, here is my problem, when the prompt asks me to input the floppy drive, and when I did it.... it re-prompts me to put the floppy drive again... I see that the floppy drive is read... but, for some reason it doesn't detect the files in there properly....  I downloaded nVidia C72+MCP55 SATA RAID / AHCI Driver (For floppy driver) for windows xp 32-bit and copied the sataraid folder contents into the floppy. Now, here I am stuck again....
    Anybody experienced this problem?

  • Eclipse SLI with Corsair TR3X3G1333C9 (OC Quesion)

    Hi all,
    Just starting out in trying to overclock and was windering what speeds people have managed to get on their rigs. Is there anyone out there that is using the board and memory (Eclipse SLI with Corsair TR3X3G1333C9 3x1GB).
    - If there is anyone out there with the same hardware as me and has overclocked it.
    - What speeds did you get and what setting did you use?
    Thanks All,
    Halvare

    In Pages '09 and Pages 5.0, tables that I set to move with text do not move with text. They overlap text. That is, the table and non-table text occupy the same space, which does not seem to be the intention behind "move with text". In Pages 5.0, I tr
