K8t Neo2 won't run dual channel with Opteron 165

Hi,
I have a K8t Neo 2, and was running a Newcastle 3500+ on it, with 2x1GB PC3200 memory sticks (Buffalo memory) in dual channel mode (ie DIMM 1 and DIMM 3 populated) without any problems. I replaced the 3500+ with a new Opteron 165, and the system would not post. One of the red lights on the D-bracket was red, the rest were out.
To troubleshoot, I removed one of the memory sticks, and the system booted fine. I then put the 2nd memory stick in a non-dual channel setup (DIMM 1 and DIMM 2 populated), and it booted fine. If I try booting the system with the RAM in any dual channel enabled configuration, it will not post. I verified that it isn't a RAM issue, because I have 2 sticks of 512 MB ShikaXRam, which has always worked fine, and I got the same behavior as I got with the Buffalo RAM. I have tried changing the RAM clocking in the BIOS, and that also doesn't help, because it seems it reads the speed automatically no matter what you set the DRAM clocking page to.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this board not Opteron 165 compatible with dual channel memory?

Alright, I tried all of the steps mentioned, setting optimized defaults, even tried changing all memory timings to the most conservative available. The only way the system will boot with 2 DIMMs installed is if they are in the two slots furthest from the CPU. It will also post with 3 DIMMs installed in any configuration.
I also have a generic 500 w PSU that is rated 32a on the 12v rail that I tried quickly plugging in (just plugged the 2 PSU connectors to the motherboard without hooking any of the IDE devices to it) It still exhibits the same behaviour. With no hard drives, optical drives, etc plugged in, wouldn't that pretty much eliminate the PSU as an issue?
I don't want to just spend $100 on a new PSU if it's highly unlikely to be the issue. Does this sound like something I'd need to replace the motherboard to fix? Is the performance difference between dual channel and single channel enough to even warrant buying a new board? The reason I want to avoid replacing the board right now is because I still have an AGP card, and don't want to replace it right now as well as the board, and getting another AGP based board seems to be stupid. Also, AGP boards are really hard to find now, and most of them available locally run on the ULi chipset

I want to run dual monitors with my hp compaq dc5800 small from e7400 @ 2.8ghz

I want to run dual monitors with my hp compaq dc5800 Small From e7400 @ 2.8ghz. Will it work and what video card do you recomend?

Yes, I see that I was in error when I posted that. Sorry.
The quickspecs for any dc5800 state that it has a:
(1) low profile PCIe x16 (SDVO/ADD2) slot.
Accordingly, the only card you can install would be this one...

K8T Neo2-F wont run CL2 timings?

I just purchased 2x512Mb Crucial Ballistix Ram (8-2-2-2) for my K8T Neo2-F.
When I try to run it at its SPD settings...It still keeps posting as CL2.5 on the Post screen (also varified as 2.5 using CPU-Z)
I have tried manually configuring the timings in the bios...as well as run SPD.
I also tried "auto" as well as the 2.7 and 2.8 for the memory voltage (2.8 is the Crucial specifications)
I have tried running the sticks in slots 1/3 and 2/4 (to maintain dual channel). No difference.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hate to disagree, but I have the same problem (same mobo, different ram: http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/khx3200ulk2_1g.pdf )
Funny thing is that plenty of reviewers have managed to overclock this while leaving the timings at 2-2-2-5-1 on an AMD64 system.
So shouldn't I at least be able run at the stock speeds without reducing timings? Seems to me that it's a problem with the motherboard.

Dual channel with 4 slots on MSI Neo4 Platinum

I read from the booklet that the dual channel on the MSI neo4 platinum will only run at 333mhz when using the 4 slots with dual sided chips on the Dimms.
Anyone knows if there's a way to run them dual channel at 400mhz.
Here's the setup:
MSI Neo4 Platinum

2gig (4x512mb) Mushkin special 2-2-2 PC3200
thanks in advance,

Yes, you get better performance with 1T compared with 2T - check with Sandra mem.benchmark.
A note for the above: that is for the same timing modules. But
2-2-2-x 2T would be faster then 3-3-3-x 1T,this is important to realize when considering 2GB.
4x512 2-2-2-x at 2T would be faster or as fast as 2x1GB 3-3-3-x at 1T and alot of the 1GB modules out there don't have fast timings.

What is the best way to run dual monitors with a 2011 MBP?

I have a 2011 MBP and i want to run dual 1920x1080 monitors. what is the best way to accomplish this? i also have a PC attached to the monitors with the DVI connection (but would be willing to change this to the analog, if necessary). so i have teh analog and HDMI connections available on the backs of the monitors.
what i would like to do is hook the MBP through the HDMI if possible and then i would just be able to change inputs on the monitors depending in which computer i want to use (PC or MBP).
any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Ok, you either own a MacBook Pro with an Intel Processor, or a PowerBook with a PowerPC Processor.
If your stated speed is correct, then you own a PowerBook, which will not run Windows natively. development & sales for Virtual PC has ceased. The only emulator still around, I think, is iEmulator & is terribly slow on G4s.
Boot Camp does not work on PowerPC Macs.
Please correct your signature & descriptions so we can identify the correct machine. Thanks!

Oracle 9.2 setup.exe won't run on P3 with Win2K SP3

Hi, everyone:
We had difficulty in installing Oracle 9.2 onto our Dell P3 Latitude C800 laptop running Win2K Professional with SP3. As many of you already reported, after double clicking "setup.exe", it won't run and nothing happened. We tried to run "autorun.exe" but that didn't work either. We also changed the system Temp/Tmp environment variables but no help either. Since our laptop is P3, not P4, not sure whether changing the symcjit.dll name would help.
This seems to be a Java issue but not sure exactly what caused the problem. We had TrendMicro's OfficeScan AV s/w installed. Is that the problem? What other commonly used s/w are Java based and may cause conflict with Oracle installer? We only have MS Office, VisualBasic, UltraEdit, Acrobat, WinZip, and GetRight installed on the laptop.
Are there any other suggestions for us to try? Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Jason

RD480 Neo2-Fi Bios-level Overclocking with Opteron 165

I have an inquiry regarding my ability to overclock my CPU (Opteron 165) with the RD480 Neo2-Fi motherboard via the motherboard. The settings for FSB, CPU voltage, Chipset Voltage, Ram Voltage are all locked out on the latest revision of the bios (V3.20). I am wondering whether this is simply an issue in that the Opteron 165 was just recently added to the list of supported CPU's (it works perfectly at the stock settings and o'c settings through CoreCenter) and the CPU ID just hasn't been added to the last bios. The overclocking options available to me through CoreCenter (which I dislike using very much, as it is very buggy and simply ugly) are all available and fully functional although somewhat limited(obviously you cannot change core voltage). If anyone has any advice please reply.

Hello !!
You should ask MSI Taiwan directly:

I tried doing a system restore to go back to version 6 but it wouldn't work. Please help! Thanks!

I searched on google and found my answer. I redownloaded quicktime and now it works.

Running dual monitors with a H520s

I recently purchased a H520s - 47461VU desktop unit. I have 2 older flat panel monitors which I hoped to use with the machine. I soon realized that the integrated video card had no DVI output so I purchased a 28AWG High Speed HDMI® to DVI Adapter Cable w / Ferrite Cores to connect the second monitor. At startup both monitors have a display, but within a minute or so the second monitor (connected to the HDMI port) goes dark. I have check the monitor settings but am not able to correct the issue. Is there a limitation of the graphics card that is preventing these monitors from functioning properly?

hi jwjbyrnes,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If you have the onboard Intel HD Graphics 2000 or 4000, then you're setup is probably one analog VGA DB-15 connector on 1 monitor and an HDMI to DVI connector on the other. If you get a black screen on the latter, can you try to:
1. Perform a scan for hardware changes under the device manager to identify the monitor that's connected to the HDMI to DVI-D converter.
2. Check this guide on how to configure clone or extended dual monitor mode on the Intel HD Graphics
Hope this helps

Forte for Java CE won't run files created with J2SDK

I'm very new to Java. When I try to run packages, classes written with Java 2 SDK, I get the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: TextComponentPrintWriter (wrong name: utilities/TextComponentPrintWriter)
I have mounted the root directory and the JAR files- or I think I have- but I'm still getting an error when I run the programs form the IDE of Forte v. 3. By the way, they all compile okay. Please help!

Try downloading a newer SDK and getting
c:\j2sdk1~1.1_0\jre\bin

KT4 won't run at 133MHz with Athlon XP2400+

I have recently built a new PC with:
MSI KT4V-L Motherboard
Athlon XP 2400+ CPU
Arctic Cooling Copper Silent CPU cooler rated for Athlon XP up to 2800+
Samsung 256Mb DDR400 RAM
Matrox 80Gb HD
Sparkle GeForce 2 MX400 Graphics card with 32Mb
Running Windows XP Pro
On initial instillation, the processor is reported as Athlon XP 1800+ by
BIOS. Is this correct?
By default the FSB frequency is set in the BIOS to 100MHz, and Memory speed is Auto.
I've managed to push the FSB up to 120, which leads to PCAlert4 reporting a
CPU speed of 1808MHz (15 x 240.5) and a CPU voltage of 1.60v. CPU temp is
measuring 54 degrees C.
However when I try to push speed up to 133, I can't get windows to start.
It gets through POST, but then reboots before starting windows.
What's wrong?
I've read the MSI FAQ section, but nothing is even close to my problem. I've
read the mobo manual cover to cover and several forums (including this one) and articles on the web.
They do indicate that there are compatibility issues with DDR400 memory,
which is why I went for one of the recommended brands that is known to work
with this motherboard. In retrospect, I should have plumped for DDR333
memory since it gives me more options for increasing memory later, and would
have been more likely to work with the Athlon XP 2400+.
I've already cointacted my reseller and he just indicated that I need to
change settings in the BIOS. I've read all about these BIOS settings and
tried dozens of combinations beyond the most obvious.
I'm considering now:
a) borrow some DDR333 to test if its the memory.
b) ask my reseller to test the mobo/cpu and ram, but this will cost me more than £30 per hour.
c) accept that I'll only run at 1.8GHz, which is a significant improvement to my previous Celeron 466.
Is there anything else I can try?
Dave

Thanks for the response.
Ok, I'll try to answer all questions:
1) Did you try to download the new firmware?
No, my Live update says I've got AMIBIOS v1.80 and didn't suggest an upgrade
2) Set the FSB to 133 and the memory at 266Mhz (try not to use 333mhz DDR modules)
Done this already, but no joy.
3) After you set the options in the BIOS, it would be better if you make a fresh install of WinXP or whatever OS you have.
I'm not prepared to re-install WinXP PRO unless I see evidence that it will run successfully at FSB 133.
1. Power Supply not up to spec. Post the specs on the 3.3v, 5v, 12v rails. The Amps output for those voltage lines.
Dragon Technologies 350W Power supply model LC-B350ATX.
+3.3V 28A
+5V 35A
+12V 16A
-12V 0.8A
-5V 0.3A
+5VSB 2A
+5V & +3.3V combined load 200W
+5V & +3.3V & +12V combined load 330W
2. CPU cooler not mounted properly. 54 degrees is pretty for an underclocked CPU, double check to make sure the heatsink/fan is mounted fine. Remount to ensure that it is done properly.
Cooler mounted ok, but I thought sticky copper block on underside of cooler was a "thermal pad", so I followed instructions and did not put any thermal paste on. I intend to rectify this, although slightly worried I'll trash die when lifting heat sink. Anyhow, when machine first turned on, CPU temp is 40 so surely it could at least boot up Windows if only to fail 5-10mins later as temp rises to 55?
3. Memory settings too agressive, set the CAS latency to 2.5, try to set them to the higher value, just for stability testing.
Tried this, but still hangs before starting windows.
Will sort out heatsink next.
So you don't think its my DDR400 mem then?
BIOS reports CPU as 1800 when FSB set to 100 or 120. Is this normal?

Retail version of 10.5 won't run on AGP with an OWC mercury G4 1.4 Ghz processor, 1 Gb ram, 32 mb vid card; was running 10.4 no problem

i have no idea what's happening, the machine ran fine with 10.4, after i installed 10.5 over the 10.4 on a 60 gb hdd it wouldn't run, I start the machine up, get the chime then the Apple logo and then the machine abruptly shut off after 35 seconds. installed a new hdd, an 80 gb, formatted it using the 10.4 install disk and partioned it into 2 40gb sections and then installed OS 10.5 onto the 1st partion, get the same result. the OS seemed to install OK, but as before the machince was shut off when I returned, and behaves exactly the same way, 35 seconds and shuts off. the Leopard 10.5 is a retail version, have NO idea what is happening. i read what the requirements for this OS and think I have met them. shutting down so soon into the startup makes me think its a hardware problem. do have a Logitech marble mouse and a non-Apple usb key board, but as noted had no problems with OS 10.4

i did a clean install of the 10.5 OS on a virgin hdd, that i partioned using the 10.4 install #1 cd.
Try it with the 10.5 Install Disc... what is the 2z691-****-A number on the 10.5 Disc?
1. Insert the Mac OS X 10.5 Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
   2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
      *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
   3. Click the Erase tab.
   4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
   5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
   6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase, one pass... after completion hopefully you'll be able to get a good install.
Oh, does it run forever whilst booted from the Install Disc?
