Help K8n SLI plantinum+ethernet card

hello i just put in a ethernet card in my mobo but know after some time my pc just drops out and restarts so i cheked the manual and read that the orange PCI slot (3) is the communication slot and i have put it in PCI slot 2... so maybe stupid to ask but do i have to put it in the orange PCI slot 3? and is this the reason that my pc drops out?
thanks flo.

ok i have/has the exact same problem
try disabling your checksum offload for the nforce ethernet driver. it works most of the time for me
either that or use a different network card. I believe it has to do with drivers because it works one momment for me then it doesn't.
to disable your checksum offload
start->control panel->system->hardware->device manager->network adapters->NVIDIA nForce Networking->properties->advanced->checksum offload-> set to disable
hope that helps. If anyone knows of a nForce driver version that is 100% stable or a different fix please let us all know.

MSI K8N SLI - Freezes Randomly - Need Help!!!

Hi,
Can anybody help me? My PC keeps freezing and sometimes BSOD'ing on me and i have no idea what the hell the reason is. I've tried changing graphics drivers, sound drivers, checked for bios updates and all the usual stuff. I've had a scou around the net and these forums and quite a few people seem to be having this problem and appears to be related to the PCIe Graphics. Not sure if this is the case but a lot of peole report this. One person said it was his audigy card and on removing it the problem went away. But, I don't fancy sacrificing my audigy card for the onchip sound if I can find a work around.
Is it the motherboard at fault with the PCIe interface or the Audigy or something else? If anyone has any ideas it would be fantastic!

PLEASE HELP! Restarting issue with K8N SLI. need bios help???

Hi people,
I would really appreciate some help this this problem im having. It’s a bit long winded but ill try to keep it short.
My pcs spec is as follows –
MSI K8N SLI (model MS-7185) motherboard
AMD Athlon X2 64bit 4200+ cpu
4 x 512mb ram
Running with a Radeon X700 256mb graphics card.
Ever since I purchased the machine ive been having problems with the pc loading up XP (or any OS for that matter!). Sometimes it would freeze on the loading screen and sometimes it would freeze on the black screen just after the loading screen. Sometimes while running windows perfectly normally, a blue screen with writing describing the error came up and then the system restarted, however, I would only ever manage to read the title of the blue screen as the pc restarted so quickly. I remember seeing the word hardware though, so I guessed it was a serious hardware issue. I lived with this for a few months thinking it might be something im doing that’s making it be so unreliable, such as a software issue, but I recently went on a mission to sort it out. The BIOS of the motherboard was password protected and I wasn’t aware of this until I had lost contact with who I had bought the system off, so I decided to restart the motherboard’s settings by pressing the reset button on the board itself. Next time I booted it up it told me that the defaults were restored etc and continued to boot windows, however now I can hardly get windows to start at all, the system restarts on the loading screen 8 times out of 10, and if it does boot up fully then it doesn’t last long before crashing on me. I messed about with a few of the BIOS settings, but to be honest I have no experience with working with these settings, its all very new to me. I have an idea that it could be the processor or the graphics card causing the problem, just an inkling though!
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you. Adam

Can you furnish us some additional info on the 4 sticks of memory that you have? Also on the power supply? There is a label on the side of it that lists the manufacturer of the power supply and the amperage output for the 12volt power rail.
Thanks for your reply. here is some more info:

K8N SLI FI Memory Settings Help

I have 4 x DDR400 in Dual Channel mode. Datasheet below: -
http://www.hynix.com/datasheet/pdf/dram/HY5DU124(8,16)22C(L)TP(Rev1.3).pdf
I previously had an ASUS A8N Board with no stability problems until i tried to add a sound blaster live card and had issues with its handling of interrupts. Seem to be a problem with the Asus Board as a tried another sound card and issues were same. Couldn't separate Int for card from display (tried different PCI slots).
I recent bought a K8N SLI FI motherboard (updated bios to 1.60) and have nothing but stability problems since. System continually freezes at intermitant intervals. (I note the K8N as different DRAM page in bios to A8N). I am using a 600W Shaw PSU.
I note with 1.6 bios the auto memory settings don't seem to match the memory sheet enclosed.
i.e. Memory voltage is 2.5 (2.4x) according to the system monitor, not 2.6 as required. Tcl, etc seems to differ also.
I have AMD 3500+ CPU.
Can you please help and provide correct Tcl, Tras, Trp,Trrd, Trc, Trfc, Trwrt, Twr, Twtr, Tref settings and advise if any setting changes to User Config mode please.
I am not interested in over-clocking, i just want a reliable system.
Cheers for any help

I did that about the same time you posted dude, thks.
Unfortunately, my system still keeps freezing in WinXP (32) and is as useful as t.ts on a bull.
I currently have the auto setting with the main timing showing 3-3-3-8 at boot time.
Voltage core-centre shows within spec 2.6x for ram and 1.5x for cpu.
I had to beef the cpu voltage by 3.3% setting to get 1.5x as it was showing 1.4x in the health report.
I am using latest nVidia driver 6.70 package and have a force 6600 card with latest drivers.
Never had any stablity problems in the ASUS A8N until i stuck an extra sound card in there (both SB Live and CMI3784) and then thing would reboot withever 2nd sound card drivers loaded. Pinned it too problems with the IRQ allocation and figured a design problem.
Bought the K8N SLI FI board and have nothing but random freeze problems.
No answers from MSI, great!
Apart from irq sharing problems on a8n, that board limited the DDR to 333 and not 400 when in dual channel mode.
What settings do i use to archieve timings for 333 on this board?
I am trying to use the board for video editing work and prefer reliability over performance.
Thanks all for any help

K8N SLI HELP

Hi all - im new to this forum, and i was wondering can anyone help on my little issue i have?
I just purchased a K8N SLI mobo, and a 3200+ athlon, 512mb ram, 128 geforce 6600gt card 80gb ide hdd.
Anyways, i set up all properly, and its done correctly in the bios too i believe, but when i go to install windows Xp on it, it just wont read from the disk drive (ive swapped it and the same thing occurs), it just goes dead on me, and its frustrating because i believe it to be correct, 1st boot device cd rom and all that, anyone got any answers, its a new PC build so its all new kit.
Is there maybe a fault with this motherboard?? or is it all present and correct??
Thanks in advance guys n gals

i have an antec 500w psu, K8N SLI, 512MB RAM, 80gb Seagate HDD, NEC DVD-RW, 1.44 floppy disk drive, AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 128MB Geforce 6600gt.
Any ideas ?

PCI Ethernet card problem.....please help!

Hi everyone, I intalled yesterday a PCI Ethernet card (10/100) on my PowerMac G5.
!0.5 immediately recogenize it and setted it with DHCP mode but internet looks to be slow so I chaged the configuration with static IP but with out any good result.
Internet works but very slooly while the network works great with (10/100 card and fine with integrated gigabit lan).
Someone could help me to understand while the PCI ethernet card doesn't work fine with internet? It's directly connected on a Netgear firewall routrer.....
thanks to everyone

But it could be unsupported the second ethernet on a powermac g5?
No, the fact that it shows up is proof that it works.
What Speeds are you getting with it?...

SLI compatible NVidia cards on a K8N Neo4 Platinum

I have a K8N Neo4 Platinum with a 3500+ AMD64, is there any known problems with running the GeForce 7800GTX duel chip with 512Mb DDR3. I just wondered because it will be the first SLI complient graphics card I have purchased. Do you have to have a SLI chip setted NF4 board to run it?
Marc

first of all, i don't think there's a dual chip 7800 GTX 512 card out there. if you are talking about two single chip 7800 GTX 512, that is a different story. in that case yes, you need a SLI mobo, but that is not all. you need to have nforce4 sli chipset on it, because the sli mobos based on the nforce4 ultra are not enough you need a monster power supply cause those cards suck all the power from your average 450-500W PSU. i don't think that should be a problem for you, since you seem to be loaded with cash and can afford buying a new k8n diamond plus 2x16 sli mobo (2 x 7800GTX 512 = 1500 USD easy, if you can find them - alienware and monarch charge you in excess of 900 USD for each)

Help me Ethernet card message

I have a Realtek Ethernet Message when I start my computer up

it does some type of scanning thing Im not quite sure what.
Then it all leads to PX-E53 - No boot file name recieved

This started happening to me too when I upgraded to BIOS 1.2
I disabled the network boot in the BIOS setup, however it still gives a short notice that it's loading the option, but n ot waiting for a network boot. Total delay is a few seconds
However, if you use bios 1.2 and the system cant find anything else to boot from, it will still start broadcasting over the network for a bootserver

Help understanding SATA on K8N SLI Plat

Looking in the manual for my K8N Sli Plat, it mentions support sata 5 and 6 - but how do I actually get those physical ports?
Also, and more importantly, the manual claims speeds of upto 300 mb/s on each port but also says. That the connectors are fully compatible with SATA 1.0 specifications. Does this mean that it will or will not function properly with the following HD; http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?IBM-HDS728 ? Thanks.

Hmm.
Are you talking about the K8N SLI Platnium or K8N SLI? You said K8N SLI Plat
The K8N SLI Platnium has the 2 Silicon Image ports on the very bottom of the board by the last PCI slot and are purple.
The K8N SLI does not have the Silicon Image Controller.
The Diamond and the Platnium are identical you can even use the BIOS's interchangeably. But if you have the Diamond you get to be a cool guy and be in an MSI club...oooo....aaaahhh
Edit: What's weird is after looking more into this the newest Platniums don't have it??? If you look at Rev 1.1 of the SLI Platnium manual it's there but it rev 1.3 it's gone. Of course MSI's website still shows it being on the platnium. So maybe I'm wrong then, Wonkaboy may be right for your board it sounds like. Guess it depends on when and where you buy your board. I looked online and a few retailers have boards with the Silicon Image ports and some do not. Maybe you have the old manual with the newer board???...
I know the 3 SLI Plats I have seen all have them.

MSI K8N SLI and Athon 64 X2 4200+: some problems

Hi from France
I've try to upgrade my computer all day long, and still have no solution about this..
Mainboard: MSI K8N-SLI
Processor: Athlon 64x2 4200+
RAM: CORSAIR 1Go *2 PC 3200
Graphic card: MSI X1950 Pro 256 Mo Radeon
2 HD (WD 250 Go and WD 160 Go) on IDE 133 (supplied by the mainboard)
OK, I've connected everything, everythings seems to be well started, the CPU is recognized as ATHLON 64 X2 4200+, and I try to go into BIOS by pressing "DEL", as it is written on my screen (just beside "F11 to boot sequence)
Nothing happened, it seems that it freezes...
When I start the computer, I hear my HD starting, the graphic card also, everything...
But what's going on ??
I'm a little bit disappointed, it's not the first time I do this kind of upgrade...
I've rebuilt my computer with "old" configuration MSI K7N L Athlon XP 3000+ and MSI 6600 Geforce
Every thing is ok
I don't understand, can somebody helps me
SOrry for my bad technical english...

First of all
HAPPY NEW YEAR (in France, it's done)
And for my computer, all is allright now
Like a silly boy, I've connected too much things in the beginning (USB Hub I've forgot not to plug)..
And so without that, computer boots well, CPU is seeing good, RAM is OK and all the drives..
Some problems with my OS (XP and SP2), but as somebody says above, I needed to "repair" it, and all is good now
Thanks for your answer...
Best regards...
happy new year nice everything goes well

Windows XP SP2 cant find ethernet-card

After an electrical shortage, my pc went crazy and formated itself. At least i couldnt enter windows anymore, but luckily i had a windows installation cd.
Ive reinstalled windows xp sp2 full retail version on my AMD Athlon 64mb 2,2 gzh, 1gb ram, nvidia nforce3 250gb,with a built-in integrated ethernet card.
But after reinstallation of windows xp sp2, windows could not find the ethernet, therefore i cant connect to the internet (im currently typing on my laptop). Ive used all the cds i got from the manufacturer, including nvidia ethernet drivers. But it doesnt work and all that is displayed in the network folder is 1394 and 1394 no. 2. What should i do?
Thanks for help!

It was simply that if something doesn't show up in Windows the first thing to check is whether it is recognized/enabled in BIOS.
It is very rare that Windows can recognize something that is not properly reported to it by the BIOS.
I hear you there Fafner. The only reason that I ass-umed it was enable was because it was recognized by windows before the problems.
I guess I was thinking too hard and skipped over the basics. Anyways. You saved this guy alot of headaches. Right on.

K8N-SLI Platinum strange behaviour

Hi there
Apart from the northbridge making a weird noise sometimes when the motherboard is on it's side (i.e. tower case standing upright), the motherboard started behaving strangely on saturday
first the computer refused to find my network, always assigning a local ip, so i tried rebooting the router a few times, and then checked my other computer which is connected to the router fine
then i tried to play a game and noticed the sound had gone, and then the game kept quitting barely after i started it so i gave that up
then, after i had to move the mouse between this one and another computer, the usb ports (all of them, no matter whether through pci card or on motherboard, the mouse stopped working
throughout all of this i rebooted many times.
i finally gave up in the evening, and the next morning on a whim i turned the computer on and everything was fine, what's going on?!?! is this linked to the northbridge at all? i've monitored all the fans and temps and all are normal and running constantly ( cpu never above 40c)
is the motherboard losing it, or maybe the power supply (all voltages seem normal too...)
my spec

i was going to take the motherboard back, but now it's working fine i'm sure they wont accept it
please help
thank you in advance
Reaps

Possible suggestions are as follows: Although the manual states that your power supply should be 450w or above i think that with your PSU your fairly border line. Remember that your psu will only draw the power that it requires and as soon as you start putting 256 Mb graphics cards and upgrading to more ram it is using even more resources and can cause your system to have all sorts of dramas and Re-boots.With your network connection problems this could be due to either network problems in your area which BT or your telephone provider can help you with or as i have recently found out.. too many net work connections that may conflict with each other.Go to your controll panel,Network and internet connections then network connections you should have your broadband or dial up connection listed. If you have more than one connection listed and for instance you dont use LAN (local area connection) Networking then you will have to uninstall this connection and disable all Lan options from the Bios i.e nVidia Mac LAN, nVidia Mac LAN ROM, Marvell Gigabit LAN, Marvell Gibyte rom.A possible other prob may be to disable your IEEE 1394 connection from the bios as i had similar problems to yours but am now okay. I am not saying any of these are related directly to your problems however they are possibilities which you may like to try. Please note also that your USB problems can be solved by using the latest Bios update (which i personally have never had any problems with) but may be risky if you have no idea how to flash your bios. My advice on this would be to read the moderators (Bas..i think) instructions as to how to do this or as he suggests unistall all your motherboards usb drivers that were installed from the disk provided by your Motherboard Manafacturer, Re-boot and let windows re-install its own USB drivers which certainly worked for me.
