K8N Diamond Plus BIOS problems

Hi , just replaced my lanpartyUT sli-dr expert with K8N Diamond Plus mobo and having problems allready :D
Just finished overclocking and now running at (250 x 11 x 800mhz x 1.300v+0.2v x dram/fsb 1/1 x 2.80v)
Memory timings --> (3,7,14,3,2,8,2,2,1,3,200mhz(15.6us),1,16x,7x,7ns,5ns,0clk,DiCC:enabled,1T,8beats,reduce 00%... ...)
The problem is "BOOT" related... System is PRIME95 stable , but still when trying to "restart windows" or "reset" the system wont BOOT !!?
When i shutdown and then power up, the system boots perfectly !? What can cause this kind of behaviour :/
I have OC:d quite many systems , but this is new even to me

The windows core program shows htt link 1000mhz exact. Memory settings are all "manually" adjusted. Cpu vcore is 1.300 & extra voltage 0.2v=1.5v.
All ECC options are disabled.Hdd:s adjusted manually. Should i rise the (NB) voltage , or does that have anything to do with this !? Maybe not at 250fsb only :D Cool & quiet is disabled naturally :/ All fan controls disabled , connected directly to psu. No D.O.T,s or anything automatic overclocking enabled. The (L cache & data cache scrubs) are strange to me, so those are disabled.After flashed bios , enabled boot sector protection. All the mobo power connectors are in use (24pin+8pin+4pin) Could it be that the memory modules should be used on ports 3 & 4 (now on 1 & 2) ??

  • K8N Diamond Plus Bios problem solved ;-))

    Thanx for the advices related to my previous topic. The system is 100% stable now , the problem was bios protection & cpu vcore related 
    I noticed that i had forgot to enable the bios protection after flashing and enabled it, now the system boots every time normally 
    The cpu vcore was messed up too.. i changed the 1.300v+0.2v to 1.400v+0.1v and it works now, the vcore is now 1.524v and i just primed another 24hours 
    Oh i almost forgot, i have to give extra credit to MSi from making this EXELLENT board    i tought that my previous "lanpartyUT nf4 sli-dr expert" board was good, but this mobo has deffinetly shown DFi its place 

    No , the bios (boot) sector/virus  protection is not so important.. Just noticed that my "FORTRON" epsilon 700w PSU was the main problem... You guys can imagine starting a 2X 7900gtx , x-fi fatality and 6hdd:s powered system with a psu that has only ("15A") 12v rails     
    When booting to OS , the monitor shuts down because theres not enough power to feed even the 7900gtx cards  still the system boots, but
    thats not a good sign... Just ordered the TAGAN 1,1KW PSU !!! its has 20A 12v rails..GOD DAMNED if thats not enough... 

  • K8N Diamond Plus boot problems

    I just built a new computer and it was working fine for about a month.  Then one morning when I started it up it wouldn't turn on.  The front LED's turn on, and the fans all start, but nothing ever shows up on the screen.  The set of four lights on the back show  R R
                                                                                                    G G
    Nothing has changed since the pc was working fine.  I haven't changed any bios settings or added any hardware or software.  I did try resetting the bios using the CMOS jumper, but this didn't change anything.  The lights on the back show that it is initializing ide drivers, but in the manual it also shows that it is one of the last steps in the start-up process, so i would think that the memory check, processor count, msi logo ect. should appear on the screen like it normally does.  However, the LED that blinks when the hard drive is active never lights up, but when i open the case and feel the hard drive i can feel it vibrating like it is functioning properly.  And if it is a hardrive failure, then shouldn't the bios still start up and show up on the monitor?  I have heard that many weird problems can be attributed to the psu, but I have a 500w Antec Smartpower 2.0, which is a pretty reliable psu from what i've heard.  Any help or suggestions would be welcome.  Also, how would i test individual components to find out what is causing the problem?  I think since everything is within a couple of months old i should be able to get replacements.   Thanks in advance for any help.

    You guys are awesome!  Thanks a bunch for the info on ram, I feel like I understand it better and I looked and found all the stuff in the bios that you guys were talking about.  I'm downloading speedfan currently and will go install it on my other computer.  I tried swapping the sticks of memory, but i ran into the same problem i did before.  So i'm assuming that i can safely say one stick is faulty right?  And do any of you guys have any experience trying to get replacement memory from crucial?  I'll have to go poke around their website also.  Well, thank you all so much for all of your help.  This is my first home built pc and i'm trying to learn alot about them.  Once everything is running properly i may try a little overclocking, but i'd like to get everything running smoothly first.  Just out of curiosity, what would make a stick of ram go bad like that?  It was only a month old, and i thought crucial xms was pretty good ram.  Is it not? or did i just get unlucky?
           Thanks a ton for all the answers, this forum is the most helpful one i've ever seen.  thanks!
    Maybe that you're unlucky to get those faulty RAM. Crucial RAM is not bad if you get the better performance if you're ocing your PC if or else get the value RAM if you don't oced.

    Ok. Get it but not sure about MBM as it seems that it don't support it. :p

    as you can see. you need 550 minimum to run it.
    also what video drivers are you using?
    what was the order of your xp install?
    where is your page file?

  • K8N Diamond Plus Audio Problem

    New rig - have the K8N Diamond Plus, AMD 64 X2 4400+, Logictechz5300-e speakers.  When testing audio - the front speaker channel does not work - the center and rear are fine - tested to make sure it wasn't the speakers - definitely a mobo problem.  Have tried it set to 5.1, 6 and 8 channels.  Has anyone else experienced this issue??
    Thx

    The audio signal from DVD or CD is passingthrough IDE CABLE digital..(When listen CD audio).Now with X-FI you must buy(of corse if you have the money) 7.1 audio speakers like mine(gigaworks s750) to take full advance of your card.Believe me you won't regret it!.

  • K8N Diamond Plus- bios freeze & question about temp/voltage monitor

    A weird issue I had right after I setup my mobo last night was that I could not access the "PC Health" portion of the bios.  If I tried selecting it, it would just freeze.  Is this a known issue?  I'm hoping a bios update may solve this one.  Does anyone know anything about this?

    Well I was mostly just asking if this was a known issue, so I guess "no" is all the answer I need...  Now, what would be my best solution?  I am assuming bios update, is there anything else that I should consider?
    But if it helps, as I said its a brand new build, so I'm running the default bios. 1.00.  My other components are:  Silverstone Zeus 560w, 2GB of G.Skill pc4000, Raptor 74gb, 7900gtx, Opteron 165.
    Also, since my other thread was locked (I figured seperating two different topics would make it easier for people to respond to specific questions, I apologize,) here's my other question pasted:
    "I just set up my new system with this motherboard (K8N Diamond Plus,) an Opteron 165, Scythe Mine heatsink, and a Silverstone Zeus 560w. Its these components that lead to my question-
    I am getting temps of about 31C idle, 41C load.  Nice temps yes, but I'm not sure how accurate those are.  That means that it is idling at 86F in a room that was probably in the high 70's, maybe 80.  Seems a little too good to be true, but then again, I am used to Intel's furnace-like temps   
    Its the voltage reading that has me a bit more concerned though.  Corecenter is reading my +5v as 5.36v, and my +12v as 12.28v.  The +3.3v is reading about spot-on at 3.33v.  I'm hoping that someone else who has this motherboard can tell me this- are the readings in Corecenter for this motherboard generally accurate, and should I be concerned about this?"
    Thanks for any help you can give.  No sig yet because I just registered an hour ago, I'll work on it.

  • K8N Diamond Plus BIOS Bootmanager?

    On my old DFI Nforce3 board I had a feature that was really handy. At boot I could hit escape and then choose the drive I want to boot from in a quick popup menu. Does the K8N Diamond Plus have a simmular feature? I find this to be very usefull becasue I dual boot x64 and x32 winxp and not having to deal with software bootmanagers was really nice. Honestly it was the only nice thing that DFI board had 

    Thank you

  • K8n diamond plus bios 1.10, 1.20 problem

    I recently updated my bioss to 1.10 and then 2 days later the 1.20 came out but both gave me the same problem, my pc does not switch off anymore, what happens is that I tell it to shut down, it switches off for 5 seconds then turns itself back on.
    What cold it be? please help. ???

    I also have had 3 isolated incidents where that has happened, I resolved it bye removeing the cmos battery for 1/2 hour! Btw did either of you guys notice that when you press the clear cmos battery button that it didnt clear the time/date?  Maybe it's just my board! anything that easy usualy doesnt work as well as the manual method.

  • Wheres this K8N Diamond Plus bios V1.16?

    I cant recall who said they had this bios here in the forums but I can only find bios 1.0 for this MB?

    Quote from: RogerP on 23-February-06, 00:33:56
    I have a copy and am using it, it does not do to many thing up front, but there are a few changes I BIOS parameters, but it still set the memory module default in correctly, at lest it does for my memory.  Also, some random unexplained error messages no longer pop up during boot.  In addition, my system is running solid.
    Send me a personal message with your e-mail address and I will send you a copy.  V1.16 comes with no grantee it will do any thing for you 
    Roger
    When submitting a problem, include a complete list of your system components; include part numbers, all Power Supply Voltages, and their output ratings.  It is almost impossible to estimate what your problem is without knowing something about it. 
    Thanks RogerP, I pm you.

  • K8N Diamond Plus Power Problems...

    Hi all, having problems again  When booting to OS , the monitor shuts down.. still after a few seconds the os boots 
    It sounds like the system "almost" isnt getting enough juice.. Could it be ?? The fortron epsilon (fx700-gln) psu has only 15A 12v rails,
    and i think those should be like at least 18Amps am i right ? So maybe all the problems are caused by my crap PSU !?
    Or could it be just that the 4pin molex (pci-e extra voltage) and my x-fi fatalitys (4pin mini) are connected on the same 12v rail ?
    Its hard to connect all the devices, because the psu has only 2 mini connectors (4pin) and my system reguires 4 of those 
    So the same 12v rail that powers the 7900gtx cards (4pin mobo) powers allso my x-fi fatality , DVD-RAM
    Would the "TAGAN" 1,1KW PSU do the trick !? Noticed that it has 20A 12 rails 

    Ok.. But still wondering.. theres so many little annoying problems that.. USB devices leave lights on when shutdown.. when booting to OS the monitor shuts down (no signal) for a while and then starts up..?.. it can of curse be the SLi configuration (startup).. and the reset/restart problem still occurs..
    Just wondering my "BIOS" settings.. How these should be --> Pci-e (pcie1-pcie2-pci/pcie2-pcie1-pci) or something like that..<---
    The second is PCI Latency (32/64/96/128.....) 
    The A643700+ is OC,d the same way that with my previous mobo (lanpartyUT nf4 sli-dr expert) , 250x11x4xdram/fsb:1/1x1.300.2vx2,80v
    So its 1.5v & 2,75ghz (PRIMED) , ram timings are the same , ram in slots 1 & 2 (green & purple) , 24pin main power+8pin extra power+4pin molex.. , both pci-e cards have 6pin power , sli-bridge installed properly , newest nf4 x16 drivers , newest BIOS , newest display driver....
    But still when not OC,d , the system works OK  i cant understand  :-X

  • K8N Diamond Plus BIOS Beep

    Is it normal for the BIOS to beep once when the system starts up?  I thought when I built it, it never beeped but after I got it settled in my room it beeps upon starting it up with the BIOS screen still showing.  Help!  Thanks in advanced.

    Quote from: SHAOMO on 29-June-06, 06:45:50
    I unplugged all of my USB connections and it didn't beep when it started up.  However, I have found a very peculiar quark.  I have a Logitech G15 Keyboard and when I start up my computer with it plugged in, it will cause the BIOS to give me the initial one beep saying I have USBs connected, but then I receive what sounds like a long followed by 2 short.  It's so weird.  It only does it when my keyboard is plugged in.  You guys ever hear of this?  Is there a fix for this?  Update BIOS maybe?
    . . . . . just as Zuidema is stating about,  ..... i too, have those kybrd's; i have fixed my system's from these beep's >>>>> i just unplugged the "speaker's" from both system's and now i have no more of those irritating beep's to deal with at boot up.............but this is only " my " way of a fix for my system's..... ............

    I have the same motherboard with 4GB Ram. I had to enable the memory hole in the memory configuration of the bios for it to see the full 4GB. However, Windows 32-bit will not show the full 4GB ram since 32-bit addressing limit is 4GB and all your peripherals have to be included like vid card memory, etc. So don't beat your head against your desk once you get your bios seeing the 4GB and Windows 32-bit doesn't. My Vista gives 2.8GB ram of my 4GB, some get more, but I know I have two video cards with 768MB ram also. I'm using 1.2 bios.
    Incidently, I ordered an OEM Vista X64, it will be interesting to see if it sees all my memory since 64-bit can go up to enormous addressing ranges.
    Good Luck
