K9a2 platinum motherboard, trouble with mouse/updating bios.

Hello all, I have a MSI K9A2 Platinum mb, using vista 64 bit. I wanted to flash my bios, Pretty sure I have 1.4, wanted to try 1.8, or 1.9. When I go to download center will ask me where I want to download from, I click on U.S nothing happens, even tried the other countries nothing. Up top tab will say blank page and go back to download center. Reason I wanted to try and flash my bios to update it is. I have a USB razer lachesis which I have to unplug and plug back in several several times a day, Im having trouble with it lagging or stuttering. I have tried every driver update new and old and nothing works. I have unchecked enhance pointer precision, I have tried every usb port on my computer. Nothing. I have tried updating my video card, on board sound drivers, mouse drivers nothing. Im at a lost. I have no clue  on what else to try. Do you think updating my bios will work? Thank you all for reading this. Hope it makes sense)

Get another mouse. I bought a Razer Copperhead a few years ago, and had similar troubles on several different boards. I just use cheap generic mice again now, they just work.

I just use some leftover kensington notebook mouse (ci25m), even though its small it fits my fingers(not my palm, just my fingers ..because my hand/palm is huge lol) and it just works. The only time I bought a really spendy mouse (creative fatality) I only ever had problems with it.

  • I have a MSI K9A2 Platinum Motherboard. Bios version 1.8 overclocking

    I have a MSI K9A2 Platinum Motherboard. Bios version 1.8
    AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0 GHZ that I have over clocked to (17.5) 3.4Ghz
    However anytime I go over that to say multiplyer set to 18 (3.5 ghz) it still runs but crashes when running high end games. I know I have to go in an adjust voltages. However, in the cell menu I can't access the CPU voltage areas I hit enter but nothing happens. It tells me Grey is defualt, White is stable and red is the obvious not recommended setting, but again I can't access it.  Is there something I need to disable before I mess with the voltages?
    I know that doing any of this could fry the chip I have liquid cooling pretty much this idles at 28 deg Celcuis, that is with it over clocked so I know I have som room and know I should only up the vltage slightly. I just need to know how to do it.
    I also wanted to adjust the FSB from the current 200 to 270 which I was told is possible with this board and also that is where it should run stable. Again I just need to know how to access these things in the Bios. If its a bios issue I can update to the next one,1.9, but did not see the need to do so. Anyways any help is greatly appreciated. I am familar with overclocking just not with this motherboard. Any user who uses MSI who could offer assitance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • What About K9A2 Platinum Motherboard ?

    Hi all
    I am new here ..
    I cant speak English very will .. anyway I have K9A2 Platinum Motherboard :
    but it doesn't support Phenom II X6 :( What is the solution ?
    This is list of motherboard support the new processor :
    http://event.msi.com/mb/amd/6core/
    Thank you

    The bios works on the system i have ,but i cant test a X6 at least not for now ,no money for upgrades available.
    I ve flashed it with MSI HQ version V and everything looks ok.
    Observations:
    After the bios update,at the first start with the new BIOS i was offered to press F1 to set -up.
    Entered BIOS loaded Failsafe ,but in the settings there were 2 strange things that only an older user of the board is able to know if it s right considering version 1 of the mobo and BIOS updates.
    -the Promise RAID controller turn OFF /ON BIOS option was not present
    -the fourth PCI-E 2 speed connector option was not present
    The bios looked at first boot as a bios intended for version 2 of the motherboard ,in version 2 of the mobo ,that i ve owned ,this 2 options were not present.
    After loading defaults, saving settings and restart (the second after the update) the bios looked normal with all the options 1A had ,the upper 2 option beeing back in the menues.
    Few months ago ,when i updated from 1.2 bios to 1.A BIOS i wasnt able to enter BIOS at first boot with 1A ,the board locking up needing a reset ,so after the update turn off the machine and make sure you do a MANUAL CMOS CLEAR. so you dont need to enter BIOS 2 times.Maybe the BIOS needs at first boot to initialize the Promise ROM who knows.
    Conclusion :BIOS 1B doesnt seem to brake for me anything that worked with 1A.It simply adds an updated AGESA.Having in mind that at the BIOS update info the X6 is not showed off ,its just a simple AGESA update specified,we can say that the support for X6 is unofficial   so use your X6 but shhh 
     

  • I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.

    I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps.  This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related.  All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting".  I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement.  The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup.  I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on.  There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available).  Any suggestions on what to try next? 

    Hello there, Missy.
    First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
    App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    Having trouble with itunes update.  Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit.  I tried uninstalling, but I am stuck now trying to reinstall.
    It says itcan't find the itunes64.msi destination folder.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • K9A2 Platinum trouble with mouse.

    Hello all, Im having trouble with my K9A2 Platinum and my Razerr Lachesis usb plug in mouse. I have to unplug and plug my mouse in several times a day due to my mouse curser jumping all over the place. I have downloaded the 1.94 razer firmware and still does not work. At first I thought this was a Razer issue, Now I know its a msi issue. I know several people who have the K9A2 and have the same trouble with there mouse. The mice they have are all random and not just razers, different products. I have tried every driver. Old drivers, new drivers, different combinations of drivers and nothing works. Have tried plugging to the back of my Razer tarantule. Have tried different usb ports, nothing. Will take all the help I can get please. I have googled this and have tried everything. To the point if I have to get a new motherboard, trust me it will not be a MSI one. I have spent a lot of money building this rig. Any advise please. Thank you all for reading.

    Enter SafeMode and DeviceManager. What relevant mouse(s) and possibly HID-devices do you find?
    The skipping mouse can come from an auto-starting program or virus. That is something that would not be seen in SafeMode, too.

  • K9A2 CF-F troubles with graphics card

    My specs are in my signature.  This is a new build.  Everything went without a hitch until I tried to install my video card.
    I'm getting the following error in the Device Manager: Code 10 "device cannot start"
    When I boot up the computer tried to load CCC and then displays an error message like "Ati device no present or drivers are not working properly..."
    This is what I've done so far:
    1) Tried a different video card -> same error 
    2) Uninstalled and re-installed video card drivers (and different versions) -> same error
    3) Tested PSU with a voltmeter -> same error
    4) Set motherboard to "failsafe" and rebooted -> same error  >:(
    5) Tried it with 1.3 bios and 1.5 bios -> same error 
    6) Tried video card in second PCI-e slot -> same error 
    7) Tried it with drivers on the install disk and with updated drivers via MSI Update -> take a guess 
    Here's the kicker: this is my second board. 
    I RMA'd the last one because of this issue.  NOW, I'm thinking "user error".  I'll gladly eat crow if I could just get my video card to work.
    Help please.

    Either you have something creating a short, or there is something else preventing detection of the ATI card, like not seated properly. You do have motherboard drivers installed, I suppose.
    How about something from the old school? Put the initial ATI installation CD in. Enter Device Manager, choose to update the driver for the graphics card, and point it to the CD.
    Thanks for the feedback but I tried that already.  The driver clearly installs but the error comes up after I try to start CCC.  Also, the display property tags are not present (via 'right click' Properties from desktop) Thing is I get the same error with the 8800GTS (Code 10 device cannot start).  I'm hoping it's a simple OS error that will clear up when I reinstall tonight.
    I'll let you know.

    With 3.5 BIOS mine takes about 5 mins to post   Shuts down ok though and works with a raid setup so im happy.

  • Problems with memorys G.Skill DDR2-1000MHz vs MSI K9A2 Platinum Motherboard

    Hello,
    First, please, sorry my English.
    I'm having problems with my memories. I bought a pack memory G.Skill model DDR2-1000 / PC2-8000 (2x2048Mb) F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ and installed on an MSI K9A2 Planinum with AMD Phenom 9750. The memories do not work on dual channel (only 64bit) and not working in 1000Mhz clock. (working at 800MHz). Installed according to the manual and the problem continues.
    I sent an email to the G. Skill but they're not helped me much. http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?t=38  
    I wonder if there is incompatibility between the memories and the motherboard and if there is to correct the problem.
    Thanks. ???

    This response in that thread on the G.Skill forum scares me...
    Quote
    if the problem is only the dual channel one, it would be more possible caused by the motherboard
    it is the north bridge that controls memory settings
    I know we've had heated discussions about the 'northbridge' on AMD64 systems (and I don't want this thread going off-topic!) but this from HardwareSecrets.com just sums up where the G'Skill admin is wrong:
    Quote
    Since the memory controller is embedded in the CPU, the memory capacity – including memory types supported and support for dual channel – is defined by the CPU and not by the north bridge (i.e. by the motherboard), as it happens with CPUs based on other architectures. A side effect of this architecture is that motherboards for AMD64 CPUs don’t have noticeable performance difference between them, as all of them use the very same memory controller (the one inside the CPU).

    In all honesty though, even if fixing this kind of bug would create a new one, its not a bug that should be ignored. Its a major one imo (fix this bug and create a new one, I would personally take my chances). I remember after effects had a bug in a recent update, were audio always was set to low quality when you export, which was very annoying, and it wasn't fixed for months! This bug is worse, and happily I read this thread before updating so Im staying away for now, I hope it won't take months to fix this one.
    It makes sense and Im really happy to hear a chunk of the AE team is working on optimizing the code.Though I think they should devote more people to that. AE is such an old program that I assume those working with keying or other of the features that have been updated lately, they bought a better plugin for it allready. I would much rather have NO updates for a year if that means the program would become more stable, faster and in the future they would not need to patch up layers and layers of old code, as you say....and from what I remember the response from the community was pretty much the same from every single one when it was asked in public what people wanted in the future updates....a faster program. THe content of AE is all ready great, and you can get plugins for pretty much everything you need...except optimization and an up to date software that uses the computer to the maximum potential. 

  • Trouble with Mouse

    I have a logitech 570 wireless mouse and it is working great in every other program, still I did a troubleshoot on it and everything seems to be working fine.
    In Indesign CS5 after I have selected the text tool I cannot then select anything else.  Not fonts, not swatches and not other tools.  To get back to the "selection tool" I have to select "v" and "esc". 
    Can anyone help me with this.  I have checked and have all updates for this program also.
