Help with mem speed issue in KT6V LSR BIOS

Hi all
In the BIOS of the MSI KT6V LSR board, does anyone know if it is possible to turn off the memory speed setting the puts memory to either Fast, Turbo or Ultra? I am uisng 1 DIMM of TwinMos 512mb, PC2700 DDR Ram and I can't run it at its correct timing of 333Mhz, because I think the above speed setting overclocks the memory and is causing instability in my installation of Win XP.
Cheers
SteveC

Thanks Fredrik & Sliksta.
Firstly Fred the cpu fsb is set to its correct timing of 166 (333 FSB Barton installed) and everyhting else in that screen is set to auto. It seems to be showing the correct CPU speed on boot up, so I can't see the problem there.
The thing is I have flashed the BIOS to the latest version and that memory setting for Fast, Turbo and Ultra is still there and can't be disabled. According to MSI it would be disabled in BIOS update V1.3, because it overclocks the memory and causes problems on some memory. When I run the memory timing at 333 I just seem get instability in Windows and thought it must be down to that timing issue. I have turned down the memory to 266 and things seem to be ok so far. Maybe I'll just stick to that. Strange one really. Could be the memory is a bit duff or I havent flashed BIOS properly. Shoud I reflash it do you think?

  • How Do I Flash My KT6V-LSR Bios? I read the MSI Instructons, But Im Still Totally Confused? HELP!!

    Help, I want to flash my KT6V-LSR Bios to the newest version but i have NO clue on how to do it?!! HELP PLEASE

    Hello.
    Another KT6V wanted to flash his bios but wasn't sure, Lilflea.
    So I posted this and he managed to flash his BIOS.
    ================
    I hope this is easy to understand.
    To Flash the BIOS, download this have 2 disks ready.
    http://www.holisticaroma.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/boot98se.exe
    Requires 1 floppy disk, run the file and it will make a boot disk with ram drive.
    Now copy
    adsfi711.exe and a7021ms.170 from the BIOS zip file to floppy disk 2
    Restart the PC and boot from the floppy disk.
    It will load and you need to choose boot without cd rom support
    Now once it has finished loading, rmove the disk and insert the disk with the 2 files.
    Then type copy a:\adsfi711.exe c:
    Then type copy a:\a7021ms.170 c:
    Now type c:
    then type
    adsfi711.exe a7021ms.170
    it will flash the BIOS.
    After the Flash you must Reset your CMOS, turn off the PC.
    Remove the side panel and move the Jbat jumper on the motherboard into the Clear position, wait a few seconds then put it back in the save postion.
    Then you can turn your pc on and you MUST reconfigure all your settings,
    eg CPU FSB.

  • Background image seems to be applied twice Can someone help with this CSS issue....

    Can someone help with this CSS issue....
    http://66.162.81.144/cms400min/default.aspx
    If you view the main page you will see that our background is
    2 shades of
    orange.. if you look at the line that divides those colors to
    the right and
    left you wil notice that the line is higher
    if you notice that it seems that there is another background
    on top of the
    first one..its the only thing i can think of..
    the only place where the image is being referenced is in this
    CSS style
    html, body
    min-height:100%;
    margin-bottom:1px;
    text-align:center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
    background-color:#F74902;
    background-position:center;
    background-attachment:fixed;
    Is there something wrong with the above CSS that could or
    would cause this?
    is it because im applying the image to both the HTML and
    BODY?
    ASP, SQL2005, DW8 VBScript, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio
    2008

    You've attached the background to both the html and the body.
    I would do this:
    html, body {
    min-height:100%;
    margin-bottom:1px;
    body{
    text-align:center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
    background-color:#F74902;
    background-position:center;
    background-attachment:fixed;
    Having said that the image doesn't look any higher on the
    right than the
    left to me in Firefox. Is it just an optical illusion?

  • Help with a CS2 issue

    hey there. I have a strange issue going on with my Photoshop CS2. When I open the program and begin to work with my image the program closes without any warning. I have never had any issues before and have done high quality graphics before with it. My current project is a poster for work that is 20 x 30. I tried at 300 and 200 dpi. When I start anything after the original layer it just closes. Is is because of the size? DPI? know the file size is a little larger than normal but to crash right off seemed kind of strange. I included my computer info so I hope that helps and if this has been mentioned before - newbie I apologize.
    Brent
    ps I haven't used the programs help in a long time.For some reason it isn't working. Is there any issues with the help option not working properly?
    (I pulled this from the system info so I included what I thought would help - with some things yeah could use a new computer no that old but could be better :-)
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 9.0.2 (9.0.2x296)
    Operating System: Windows XP
    Version: 5.1 Service Pack 1
    System architecture: AMD CPU Family:6, Model:10, Stepping:0 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP
    Physical processor count: 1
    Processor speed: 2079 MHz
    Built-in memory: 1023 MB
    Free memory: 459 MB
    Memory available to Photoshop: 908 MB
    Memory used by Photoshop: 55 %
    Image cache levels: 6
    Serial number: [deleted by forum host]
    Startup, 105.4G, 49.9G free
    1 Gig of RAM

    First of all, you should update your OS to service Pack 2 and then apply the other updates that have come out since then.
    Try resetting your preferences. There are several ways to do this; the simplest is: Immediately after clicking to open Photoshop, press and hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift; if you get a dialog about your preferences, tell it to delete or clear them, after which Photoshop will open. If you don't get the dialog, you weren't fast enough. Some people find that it helps to press and hold Ctrl+Shift down before clicking, then immediately pressing Alt in addition.
    If you have reset your preferences and still have the problem, you can try doing a repair install; if that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling (which doesn't take long for PSCS2 and is no big deal).
    Let us know what happens.

  • Seeking Help with Album Image Issues in iPod Classic

    Hi folks -
    I have a new 160 iPod Classic and have two album image-related issues I'd appreciate some help with.
    In the case of several albums where I'd associated my own art with them in iTunes, the formatting appeared off in my iPod due to the vertical/horizontal proportions. So I corrected the images, replaced the images via iTunes, and re-synced. All of the old images were replaced - except for two. Is there any way to get my iPod to recognize the change to these two images, as it did for all the others?
    Secondly, my "The Allman Brothers Band Live at Fillmore East" album was appearing twice in both the Cover Flow and Album list. That was strange, except that after the latest sync it now appears six times! It's only in one place in iTunes, and not erroneously set as a compilation or anything. This is the only album displaying this behavior...
    Thanks for any suggestions or advice!

  • Help with production jvm issues at customer site

    Following is a brief overview of two production issues experienced by an Oracle customer. Customer is currently running 32 bit Java 1.5_20 on Solaris 64 bit OS.
    1)     OOM heap issues – SR #3-2611053901 – Recently we have been seeing OOM errors due to heap space. What we have seen is that some of the instances are not able to free up any memory space even after full GC, which results into a series of full GC’s back to back and eventually leads to OOM. During this time when continuous full GC is going on, we have seen the TCP connections and active JDBC connections shoot up and also lots of stuck threads. This error occurs during peak hours.
    This is the output just before OOM. Just to be clear, this line is printed as last line of Full GC which meant that OOM happened right after Full GC:
    [PSYoungGen: 111616K->82323K(172544K)] [PSOldGen: 1865727K->1865727K(1865728K)] 1977343K->1948051K(2038272K) [PSPermGen: 209111K->209061K(210944K)] GC time is exceeding GCTimeLimit of 98%, 13.3644395 secs]
    2)     OOM swap space- SR: #3-1724941721 – From time to time, we get Exception in thread "CompilerThread0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 32756 bytes for ChunkPool::allocate. Out of swap space?’ error in our production. Mostly this error occurs during off hours or off-peak hours. When this happen, there is plenty of heap and perm memory available which indicates that this is a native memory error. We already put two workarounds suggested by Oracle i.e. -XX:CodeCacheMinimumFreeSpace=8m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128m but still running into this problem.
    What we are looking for:
    1)     Recommendations on tuning our config parameters -
    These are some recommendations we discussed internally. Please validate these recommendations and provide us the recommended values. We would also welcome any new recommendation on updating other parameters if that will help with our issues.
    •     Change Xmx to 2048m and MaxPermSize to 512m
    •     Specify ratio of young generation to old generation (-XX:NewRatio), and possibly survivor spaces.
    •     Use Concurrent old generation collector (-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC), with a compatible parallel young generation collector (-XX:+UseParNewGC)
    Our current config settings are:
    JAVA Memory arguments: -Did=chaserels-cm21 -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:CodeCacheMinimumFreeSpace=8m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128m -verbose:gc -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=true -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=1641 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=ISO646-US
    In a subset of servers, the settings are same as above but for MaxPermSIze, which is set to -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
    2)     Diagnostic help in how to further narrow down to the problem and what tool to use to gather heap dumps
    We have tried to take heap dump using jmap on our production servers when OOM occurs due to heap but most of the time, we run into an exception (attached - which is probably an unresolved jvm bug). While we researched some alternatives to jmap for taking heap dumps, most of these require changing the start-up scripts or installing the tool on production system which may have a performance overhead. What we want is a least intrusive tool which could provide us heap dumps/snapshots without much overhead and could be preferably used remotely. If there are other ways of collecting data than heap dump, we could also use them.
    Let me know if you have any questions or need any data.
    Thanks for your help.
    Error from heap dump :

    1)     OOM heap issues – SR #3-2611053901 – Recently we have been seeing OOM errors due to heap space. What we have seen is that some of the instances are not able to free up any memory space even after full GC, which results into a series of full GC’s back to back and eventually leads to OOM. Which would be exactly what would happen if there were many objects which were not eligible for collection.
    Causes would be either a bug (something not releasing something it should) or because the server is overloaded.
    If there were no code changes it could still be a bug that has now only become apparent due to changes in usage patterns.
    If that is the case then such bugs can usually be made more apparent by reducing the maximum heap. Doing that will cause it to occur faster.

  • Help with some iPhone issues please

    Ok, I am starting to have some problems with my iPhone 3G, and would really appreciate any help with these issues.. here is what is happening
    1) iPhone Vibrate is pretty much broken, turns off and on vibrate by itself.. and now is vibrating very softly.
    2) iPhone wont sync my Music anymore, I have 3 playlists that I use on my iPhone, and none of them will update. When I sync my iPhone, everything syncs but the music.
    3) iPhone sometimes completely freezes and i cant get it to go to the locksreen or power off, so I have to do a hard restart.

    Hi Matt,
    Try restoring the iPhone, this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through the process.
    If the vibrate and unlock issues persists, the iPhone may need hardware repair. Just make a reservation to have a Genius, at a local Apple retail store, take a look at it or call AppleCare.

  • Need help with expression builder issue

    Hi all
    I'm hoping someone can help with an issue I'm having. I'm creating a database for a manufacturing joinery. For 1 of my forms, Ive to create a despatch form which includes order details along with customer details. Some customers can have contracts in which
    they get a fixed price on certain item. This is where the problem lies.
    For my customers table, I have a field called "On contract" which is a Yes/No field. I've created a query to attempt to make this form. I'm having trouble with adding a total column at the end of this query. Quantity,Unit Price, Contract Price
    are also in the query. I've been trying to build an expression to say like;
    iif [on contract] = "Yes", [Quantity] * [Contract Price]
    iif [on contract] = "no", [Quantity] * [Unit Price]
    It obviously wont work, what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Assuming you are using the database is SQL Server:
    SELECT [CustomerID]
    ,[Quantity]
    ,[Unit Price]
    ,[Contract Price]
    ,[Total] = CASE WHEN [On Contract] = 'Yes' THEN [Quantity] * [Contract Price]
    WHEN [On Contract] = 'No' THEN [Quantity] * [Unit Price] END
    FROM [Customers]
    Modify the SQL to suit your need.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi guys, thanks for all your advice - I just thought I'd update you on what's happened over the last couple of weeks.
    Following an engineering visit the Openreach chap agreed that my line was not configured correctly as his tester suggested that my line would support 7.8Mb, so this was re-configured and he went away saying leave it for 10 days to settle down. He then returned later in the day saying that my router was faulty and he changed it for a Home Hub 3 which worked for about 3 hours and then failed, on to India to arrange delivery of a refurbished router which arrived 4 days later. I didn't see a problem with my old router, but I suspect it was a guise I suspect to recover my Broadband Talk line (which I'm not happy about, but there we are).
     Iam now getting about 4Mb which is a vast improvement but I would have expected more but at least I'm getting more than 2Mb which is what I was after. I enclose the latest stats :-

  • Need help with Itunes Authorization issue

    I've been a Itunes/Ipod user for a couple years. During that time, I've sure spent over $500.00 on Itunes music from the Itunes store for my Ipod. My daugter and I both have Ipods.. There have only been 2 machines with Itunes installed here but I occasionally rebuild my computers to have the latest and greatest hardware for my business.. The other day I backed up all my music and data before rebuilding my machine due to hardware upgrades. Everything went smoothly including importing my purchased music back into Itunes.. The problem is I can't listen to it now. When I try to double click a song I get an error that says "You have already authorized 5 computers with this account. To authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers" This isn't possible because the computers aren't around anymore to deauthorize. They were all housed (except 1, my daughters pc) in the same case as I have now.. Please respond...

    The other day I backed up all my music and data before rebuilding my machine due to hardware upgrades.
    okay. you may have ended up with multiple authorisations on that PC due to the system changes. if so the following documents should be of some help with techniques for freeing up authorisations:

  • Help with mac speed!

    I started downloading a game from a website I should probably never gone to, it wasn't bad it was just, sketchy, I started to download a game I wanted to play and then decided it may mess up my computer, so I cancelled it. But later on my computer started to get slow and glitchy, making it frustrating to do anything on my computer. Photoshop runs horribly and makes it so frustrating to draw, things load slow and it sometimes even types slow as a result. I think it's because of the website and game I tried downloading... what should I do? The mac isn't that old and I love the computer but I hate how slow it is. I tried clearing my browsing and downloading history and all to see if that would help and it didn't, so I was hoping someone could tell me if there's a way to fix it? I really want to draw and it's making it impossible to do so, in fact it's making it hard to do anything, even open a browser or play a game. I tried playing the sims on my computer after it happened and now the game glitches as well! What can I do?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press thereturn key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press returnthree times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
