K9n neo stability problems, computer freezes hd light stays on! help!

Newly built system having stability problems. The computer crashes when loading and exiting programs, seams to me like it is ram related. When the system crashes the hard drive light remains lit. I have an elixer 667mhz ram module. Heres the system spec:
msi K9n neo
athlon 3500 am2
elixer 667mhz ram
gforce 7300le
sata mextor 80gb
350w power supply
I am unsure of the ram timing setting and voltage, i just set them to auto please can someone tell me what could be wrong is elixer compatible with this mobo?
thanks

There is appearently a compability problem with the AM2 K9N boards and
nvidia 7300 turbocache gfx cards (turbocache use system memory as added VGA mem)

  • Start-up problem with my Macbook - light stays on and screen stays black?!

    Hi, sometimes when I start up my Macbook the switch-on light stays on and the screen stays black. Then I have to turn it off and when I restart it boots normally. What can this be? I resetted already the PRAM and the firmware is up to date. Perhaps someone understands german. Therefore I added my german post... Many thanks in advance!
    Hi, hab ein seltsames Phänomen. Manchmal, vor allem nach ausgeschaltetem Zustand über Nacht, leuchtet nach dem Einschalten das Einschaltlicht auf und geht nicht wieder aus, wie normal wenn das Macbook startet, sondern bleibt an und der Bildschirm bleibt schwarz. Dann schalte ich das Macbook mit dem Ausschaltknof aus und warte ein paar Sekunden und schalte es dann wieder ein. Daraufhin startet es ganz normal. Woran könnte das liegen? Hab schonmal PRAM resettet und die Rechte auch repariert. Der Hardwaretest zeigt auch keine Probleme an. Kann man(n) noch irgendwie überprüfen, woran das liegen könnte oder hat das Problem auch schonmal jemand gehabt? Mein Macbook ist gradmal 2 Monate alt und hat das Problem erst seit kurzem. Könnte das vielleicht auch an einer Software liegen, die ich installiert habe. Kann sowas auch Auswirkungen auf den Bootvorgang haben? Bin Laie und würde gern wissen, ob sowas auch an der Pufferbatterie oder einer kalten Lötstelle liegen kann oder könnte das Macbook da dann gar nicht starten. Wäre für jeden Vorschlag dankbar... Vielen Dank schonmal im voraus!

    Hi,
    put me on the list as well. I was already in contact with ADC and it seems to me that they acknowledged it as a bug. I'm using a Mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter. And sporadically when unplugging it the internal display stays black or switches to the blue background and hangs there.
    As I heard from friends who are using the Mini-DVI-to-DVI adapter in the same use case, this doesn't happen to them.

  • Memory problems: computer freezes on heavy memory usage

    Ever since I changed the internal hard drive of my MacBook Pro (I installed a Seagate Barracuda 1Tb disk), I have the following problem:
    Whenever an application needs a lot of memory (for example Parallels installing a new Windows system, or Acrobat Pro optimizing a big PDF file), the computer progressively freezes. What I mean by freezing is that I can still move the mouse cursor, but clicking has no effect, and there is no interaction whatsoever with the GUI. Even the clock on the menu bar stops.
    I never had the problem before. I guess that under normal conditions the Finder will always keep a few Mb of RAM for its own use. After all I have 4Gb of RAM installed.
    Is there some way I can prevent the computer from freezing? Has this something to do with VM? Ever since I changed the hard disk, this problem happens once or twice every day, and the only solution is to force a restart, losing all my work…
    Thanks in advance for any advice…

    First, do not assign more than half your available RAM to a VM. It's best to let the VM software's configuration to select the amount used by its defaults.
    Second, watch how many concurrent applications you attempt to use. Monitor your memory usage in Activity Monitor. If the Available RAM (Inactive RAM plus Free RAM) is low and Free RAM is near zero, then you have too many concurrent applications running. This forces the system to start using the disk-based virtual memory file. With too many apps swapping into the vm file disk thrashing will occur that ultimately can lead to the computer appearing to freeze up or to actually freeze up.
    Of course your alternative is to install more RAM if in fact you are over-taxing what you have now. You may find the following helpful reading:
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
    Memory Management in Mac OS X
    Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
    A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.

  • Login Problems:  computer freezes except in safe boot.

    My MBP 15" starts up fine in safe boot. But:
    First, it froze at the login screen. After following the directions from:
    http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/help/2/#2
    I was able to boot back into my account. But once my desktop appeared, the computer froze: the mouse cursor moves, but that's it.
    I made a NEW admin account. Logged in, was able to click on Mail.app, but the icon froze MID BOUNCE, and the same thing holds true: NO keyboard input works. The CAPS LOCK key responds (light goes on and off). Same for NUM LOCK.
    I have removed all third part Startup Items. There are no login items.
    ANy help would be really appreciated.

    Hi..
    I had the same problem after doing the software upgrade from apple. I could log in with SafeMode as well. I called AppleCare and they took me through re-installing the operating system.
    All works fine now.
    Thanks,

  • Problem - computer freezes every time a 3D game / Wine game is run

    Hello. My brother's computer is a quite powerful machine. He would be very satisfied with it if it wasn't for one thing: it freezes every time he runs any 3D game or any game using Wine.
    I have tried to do some troubleshooting, but after long time I still cannot find the cause. The problem persists. No update has fixed it yet.
    Some 3D games seem to run, some don't. I have tried AssaultCube and it worked, but when I tried Sauerbraten it froze.
    Wine games seem not to work at all, or at least that's my general impression. As a test, I tried a freeware DirectX 7 game. Froze straightaway. More complex games of course also froze.
    The problem seems to be related either to hardware or to some NVidia-specific stuff. I tried a test run of XP on this computer. It ran when it was a clean install, but when I installed NVidia drivers, it didn't boot again correctly. There was no error description as far as I remember.
    I have swapped a power supply to a higher wattage thinking that it maybe was energy starvation that took the system down. No luck.
    Output of different commands:
    "hwinfo --short": http://pastebin.com/Sj8SbvZy
    "lsmod": http://pastebin.com/dtchwqAF
    "pacman -Qi nvidia": http://pastebin.com/rhKcLUpH

    One more thing. Even though it's a 64-bit CPU, I'm running a 32-bit system. Would that create a problem? From what I've read online, it doesn't really seem to make that much of a difference.
    Please help me with this. I really don't know what to do.

    hello again.
    glxinfo looks good and normal
    Right.. i have been reading bout similiar issues ..like that of your system freezing..
    a reported fix would be to
      echo 1 | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
    as root
    and add it to the /etc/rc.local for it to be applied every boot up..
    Link of where i have gotten the info from
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/151382
    Apart from that ,  i have noticed your kernel isnot up to date.. Please run your updates.. the latest kernel in the core repo at the time of writing is 2.6.36.
    Hope it works out for you
    and if the above doesnt work out..
    i would need to see your

    Have a good day

  • MSI K9N neo V2 problem

    I have a two times a same problem with this motherboar. When i complete packing all components on board and when start computer no sound BIP and computer don`t starting. Nothing writen on monitor. Nothig. Is that a board don`t have a BIOS or something else. On board are Gigabyte Nvidia 9500 graphic card and AMD Athlon AM2 procesor with 500W power

    Quote from: tomica0311 on 17-October-09, 02:50:21
    AMD Athlon AM2 procesor with 500W power
    Specify them ,in fact post your full configuration in detail.
    Both the PSU and processor name/revission are crucial.
    If the motherboard doesnt support the CPU you ll get nothing after hardware setup.
    More info less time for you to know what to do 

  • Starting problems, computer freezes, keyboard and mouse stop working

    Hi can anyone help? My powerbook has just stopped working, rarely starts, when it does keyboard and mouse stop working after a while or even before i am able to login. At one point I was getting a grey screen with the words, memory access invalid???? Please help...
    powerbook G4    

    power surge could have damaged something inside, or it maybe unrelated to the problem.
    PowerBook can get hot if there is some short circuit inside and power flow is disrupted, also it's possible that the fans are not working properly.
    as a guess, it is likely either hard drive or logic board problem.

  • Computer freezes after changing CPU Need Help!

    Just replaced the processor in my P35 Platinum from Core 2 Duo E4500 to Pentium Dual-Core E5800 as it says in MSI CPU Support that E5800 is supported. But to my surprise, the system would have blue screen whenever I turn EIST off. Why is this so? Need a solution quick. Would really appreciate any help.

    function() {
        stopDrag();
        if (tabbingON || !draggingON) {
            pickupPiece(this._name);
        // if puzzle piece is in right spot, then place
        else if (eval(_root[this._name]._droptarget) == _root["hitarea" + selectedPiece]) {
            placePiece(this._name);
            counter++;
            reply_txt.text = "Good Job!";
            playSound("5.3right");
        // if puzzle piece is not in right spot, then return it

    Okey that is the last object to be place.. when the last object is placed there, text will changed and a different sound effect will be heard.
    Once that is done, i press my back button to go to the game selection scene but the last object stays.
    i tried reset button using
    function reset()
    dd1._x = 910
    dd1._y = 277
    dd2._x = 913
    dd2._y = 384
    dd3._x = 914
    dd3._y = 486
    dd4._x = 918
    dd4._y = 591
    and used in on the codings for my Back Button before it went the game menu.. hmm here
    backbtn.onRelease = function(){
        reset();
        gotoAndPlay("5.0Games", 1);
    but it still wont work and the last object stays.
    Hmm i have 4 games with the same codes, the names of object were the same at the beginning using pp1 til pp5 or pp10 but i changed everyone of them to pp dd qq gg so having directory problem isn't the case. I am still finding the solution now trying whatever i can think of, i need help on this..

  • Adapter light stays on all the time...

    My battery stopped charging on my MacBook a couple of weeks ago and since then it's had it's DC Inboard replaced, logic board replaced and battery replaced.
    When I first got home with it last night the adapter was not working - just showed that it was plugged in but not charging - dh has a MBP and my adapter didn't work with his either and his power cord worked fine on my computer.
    Today - tried my adapter again and it worked - but light stayed green even when it was charging - unplugged from my computer and the light stayed on, unplugged from the wall and the light still stayed on for a bit. Plugged it in again, didn't work at all. Plugged it in again with three prong into wall and it worked - is charging with amber light on right now however, when I unplug it from my computer the amber light just stays on. Also - my battery is 100% and the amber light did not change to green, said that it was still charging?
    Am I making any sense at all? Do I need to get a new adapter or what the heck is going on now???
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    The problem was the adapter itself - got it replaced and have had no problems!

  • K9N Neo-F Freeze and restart problem. Help needed!

    Hi there,
    I recently bought a Mainboard (K9N Neo-F S/N: 601-7260-010K0605023133) that seems to shutdown every now and then. No blue screen... it just freezes for a while and then shuts down. My CPU temperature is very low, I've used a lot of coolingpaste and I have tried every possible way of mounting memorys... 1,2,4... and in different slots. I've run Memtest also. The BIOS-version is the newest according to the Liveupdate-function. The power supply should be enough but I have tested disconnecting everything else then one harddrive and the mobo... doesn't work.
    Sometimes it happens with three hours between the occations and sometimes five minutes. Not related to anything special that is done on the computer.
    Is this a problem that is common...? Related to hardware or bios...? I would be glad for any advice you could give.
    Thanks in advance. Really need help... this drives me mad...
    /Christian

    I started Orthos and then left the computer alone. Went and watched a film, when I got back after 1 hour and 38 minutes or something like that the computer freezed. I will try leaving it on all night without touching a thing... kind of strange that it happens right when I sit down and move the mouse.
    Thanks a lot for trying to help... it's appreciated.

  • K9N Neo V3 wont boot at all and has constant green light

    Hi guys, as you can see I'm new to the forum and new to PC building this is my second rig and not my favorite for some reason this motherboard just wont boot. when i push the start button the heatsink fan spins and the power led stays green but other than that there's no other activity
    heres my specs
    MSI K9N Neo V3
    AMD Semphron 3000 am2
    512mb NANYA PC2-4200
    Tested with 250w and 300w psus
    Ati radion graphics card Pci-e
    200gb hd
    note these parts are mostly testing items to test the board before i buy more expensive parts  any help would be great 

    Quote from: Fredrik on 24-October-08, 05:20:56
    You will barely, barely get by with a very good 300W PSU, but that needs to be very good. Any hardware changes or addings will render your system unusable. I would recommend you a Zalman unit of about 400 - 500 watts. ~80 - 100 $. So you can "develop" the system.
    But your system seems to pass POST.  Can you disconnect the hard disk, possible opticals (CD/DVD) and if you have any USB things, and try again, please. Make sure you got the required power cables connected!
    Nanya memory is new to me. It wouldn't be a Dell special (memory)?
    thanks for the reply im currently using a dell system but my new builds motherboard just wont boot at all thats the main problem the psus seem to boot other systems so im unsure to whether the board is healthy or not since i cant connect the cases original audio plug to this mobo :( its unable to give me beep commands and the green light as ive read else where often means something bad but the condition dosent seem to change even when i change out parts
    and the psu is a 12v

  • K9N Neo-F and USB Mouse problem

    Hello,
    Some people including me have noticed problem with USB Mouse when using MSI K9N Neo-F BIOS above 1.3.
    Results are simple - when loading Windows, the system initiates USB devices, but when it goes to Windows mouse doesn't work.
    There is only one solution to fix the problem, reconnect USB cable from mouse.
    It seems to be a BIOS problem, but there have been many BIOSes during 2-3 months and now currently the newest one is 1.63 Beta, which still didn't fix the problem at all.
    I contacted MSI, but they can't do anything.
    According to my tests, if I change in BIOS S1 to S3, it runs fine until I won't shutdown computer and turn it on again.
    I wonder if there's any solution. I'm really mad about it and probably will RMA my mobo or change it to some else.

  • Mouse stops, computer freezes. this problem occurs with any mouse: bluetooth, wired, and a spare logitech wired mouse.  iMac 0S10.6.8

    Help! Mouse stops, computer freezes. Restart helps for a while, then mouse doesn't respond. Problem occurs with my 4 "mice" - bluetooth, apple wireless, logitech wired & microsoft wired. Any solutions?

    Problem solved!
    First, the underlying cause MAY have been an unusual circumstance: a smartphone (Galaxy Android) was placed next to the iMac, turned on and with Bluetooth enabled, and left for hours to charge.  Could this proximity have resulted in the Mac getting some strange Bluetooth input?
    Fix:  Using the temporarily-installed mouse and keyboard, I removed the existing Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad entries. (I just removed every Bluetooth device.)  Then I used the standard procedure to re-pair the wireless keyboard and trackpad.
    After removing all Bluetooth devices, I could not get the Mac to detect any Bluetooth devices until I restarted the Mac, at which point device detection and pairing worked flawlessly. 
    My best --and admittedly ignorant, sketchy-- theory:   Some mal-formed event got stuck in the Bluetooth input stream, causing the trackpad up and/or down states to be hyper-sticky.  That event couldn't be cleared without removing the originating device and re-pairing.
    HTH

  • My computer freezes when i try to restart from bootcamp. What's the problem?

    I have a Macbook Pro (i think 2010 generation), that I had windows 7 installed on boot camp. Now I have Mac OS X Lion installed. I don't remember if I restarted from Windows 7 after installing Lion or not.
    Now the problem is I want to restart from Windows 7. I can see it among the options when i restart, but when i click on it the computer freezes.
    What is the problem and what could be the solution to it?
    By the way I also have parallels 5 installed as well.

    Does it happen with different iMovie projects or does it keep doing it with the same one? Might be a corrupt movie file.
    Do you have iLife 11 on disc? If so you might try reinstalling iMovie and try it again, first without updating anything, and if that works then try updating and see if the problem comes back. It could also just be that iMovie is corrupt.
