K9N Platinum - Doesn't boot with PWR2 connected

Hi,
I've just built a new PC with a K9N Platinum Motherboard (7250 Ver 1.0)
I immediately discovered a problem:
-If I connect to the power supply the PWR2 Molex (the additional power connector on the motherboard, to provide additional power to the video card) the system doesn't boot. Computer's LEDs get on for half a second, then it shuts down.
-If I deconnect the PWR2 connector, computer boots fine.
Bios already flashed to 1.51... no results.
It sounds weird to me. I have an Enermax Noisetaker II 485W PSU, the CPU is an Athlon X2 65W...
Have I got a damaged mainboard?
Thanks for support

Just tried... nothing. Lights and fans turns on for half a second, then everything dies.
I tried to remove video card too, nothing changes :(
sound like somethink is shorted. try take board of case and retry. it maybe dumb question, but are you connect 4pin cable in a right direction?(i know its can be plugged in one way only, but if you use little more force can be done...)

K9N Platinum doesn't read SPD correctly

K9N Platinum doesn't read SPD correctly. When i put any RAM to my computer and set timings to auto it always set timing to 5-6-5-15 ignoring SPD on RAM/RAMs.
Is it only my board problem? or all K9N Platinums?
I have 601-7250-020....
i use 1.5 bios,and i am going to update to 1.6 today.

Yes you are right: http://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/products/specs/TWIN2X2048-5400C4.pdf
However, MSI could change something in the BIOS to make your memory work properly.
As the Jdec standard is Intel system testing only (if I'm not mistaken) it could well be that the AMD CPU can't work with those values, so it ups them a little.
Don't forget, Intel uses "CPU -> Chipset -> Memory", but AMD uses "CPU -> Memory"
The only one that can answer this is Corsair, so I suggest you ask them why the SPD is different on AMD's.
They know that, we don't.
But it's not strange that AMD's have higher timings.
In any case, it has nothing to do with the board, as the AMD's have an in-CPU memory controller! Intels do not have this.

Lenovo Thinkpad T520 doesn't boot with GPT slices on FreeBSD 9-BETA3 - BIOS bug?

Hi!
I've bought a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad T520 laptop and decided to install FreeBSD 9 Beta 3 following this guide.
But when I rebooted the system, it simply doesn't boot (turns out to the BIOS boot menu).
It's even doesn't boot with default FreeBSD 9 UFS-on-GPT installation scheme through bsdInstaller
Changing BIOS (latest, 1.31) settings BIOS Startup->UEFI/Legacy Boot from "Both" to "Legacy only" has no effect. As FreeBSD AFAIK doesn't support UEFI boot, legacy boot should work picking up and starting pmbr (protected MBR record), but it doesn't.
However, FreeBSD 9 UFS-on-MBR installation (with mbr boot record and FreeBSD slice in MBR partition instead of GPT) works fine.
It seems to me that UEFI/Legacy Boot "Legacy" setting actually has no effect if 0xEE type Primary partition entry is present on disk.
First of all, has anyone installed Linux or FreeBSD with GPT partitioning scheme on latest Thinkpads?
And the second one, as I've saw similar problem on FreeBSD forum thread about T420s laptop I believe that this may be a bug in the BIOS. How can I fill the bugreport or send an e-mail to support or developers, as, obvious, phone support can consult only about Windows OS.

I've got a suspicion that the Thinkpad bios/efi is not simply executing the first stage bootloader, but looking around on the GPT disk and then crapping its pants when it doesn't find Windows.
Right now I have a MBR-formatted harddisk in the ultrabay with the bootloader in the MBR. Once I get the bootloader off the MBR disk, I can easily continue to boot from my GPT-formatted SSD.
Yes, it seems that it's a BIOS bug at least on T520, T420s and W520 laptops. Even in "Legacy" mode first stage bootloader doesn't execute if partition type is 0xEE (GPT).
Hope Lenovo developers will fix it. They fixed something on BIOS 1.31

MSI K9N Platinum don´t boot whit sata raid 1

Hi
Here my configuration
K9N Platinum v1.1
2 HDD´s WD 320GB SE16
2 GB´s OCZ systemlite 800MHz
NX7300GT TD256EH
I try to install raid 1 (mirroring) but at after winxp sp2 installation (previously load the two raid drivers) the computer don´t boot it not found the operating system.
Can help me? Thanks

Quote from: Maesus on 13-August-07, 21:02:58
hi Timo, welcome to the forum.
Yes, this sounds like a compatibility issue. However, you can try doing this:
Get into the BIOS, set the boot sequence priority, put your OS HDD as the 1st boot device;
or reinstall XP, hit F6 for 3rd party driver, and install the RAID driver, even though you don't plan to install the OS to the RAID drives;
Also, file a ticket to MSI - support.msi.com.tw, ask them to take a look at this issue.
Hi Maesus, thanks for the welcome and your reply
Primary boot device was already set to the OS HDD, and I disabled the others (including "Boot from other devices").
I can try the reinstall of XP, but can only do so without the PCI RAID-controller plugged in, otherwise I'm not able to get beyond the motherboard POST. (Giving me reason to believe that reinstalling XP will not solve the problem, but couldn't hurt to try).
As for the ticket, I'm not a USA/Canada customer, so I'd have to go by my local European website (in this case via the Dutch support site http://support.msi-computer.nl/). They have this "ingenious" system where I have to select my MSI product, but their list is a bit outdated :( The P35 Platinum isn't listed, with the nice remark "If your product isn't listed, it's probably OEM and MSI doesn't support that"
So any suggestions there? Go for the USA support, but with bogus personal information (regarding address), or send a support request via the Dutch support site, but for another motherboard (Perhaps the 975X Platinum?) with a big heading of **** WARNING: ACTUAL QUESTION ABOUT THE MSI P35 PLATINUM BUT YOUR SUPPORT LIST OF MOTHERBOARDS IS OUTDATED **** ?
Thanks in advance,
Timo

Refind-efi 0.8.1-1 doesn't boot with custom refind.conf

Recently upgraded to refind-efi 0.8.1-1 and manually ran refind-install.
I usually have the option ¨default_selection "bzImage,vmlinuz"¨ enabled in refind.conf but after some trial and error I found refind wont load the default boot entry with this enabled any more.
I moved
/boot/refind_linux.conf
and
/boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
and performed a ¨clean¨ refind-install.
If I select the default boot entry, with ¨default_selection "bzImage,vmlinuz"¨ enabled, refind shows the normal boot screen with standard options, but doesn't load the kernel. If I press F2 and select the boot with minimal options (in this case the same as standard options) the kernel boots instantly as expected.
If I use the standard refind.conf-file w/o ¨default_selection "bzImage,vmlinuz"¨ the default boot-entry with standard options works fine.
Anybody able to reproduce?

\hbar wrote:Strange... A rEFInd bug perhaps?
I suspect so, but would like to see it reproduced before I file a bug towards rEFInd.
\hbar wrote:When you select the arch entry, is the line that specifies the kernel and its version the same whether the default_selection is set or not?
Yep, the commandline options "ro root=UUID=836e34d6-bc33-4044-a337-372a3d240f49 quiet" plus initrd are the same in the "Booting OS"-screen, whether I select the default "Logo"-entry, or specify which options to boot with via F2.
\hbar wrote:What if you set 'default_selection arch'?
Don't think that's supported, and it doesn't work .
I've also tried "bzImage", "vmlinuz", and "vmlinuz-linux" seperately with the same result.
Should I file a bug now or wait until somebody experiences the same problem?

K9N2 Platinum won't boot with 8800gts

Processor: Athlon X2 4200+ (old) / Athlon X4 635 (new)
Board: K9N2 SLI Platinum
Memory: 4x1GB GSkill
Power: OCZ700SXS 700w
OS: Vista SP2
Drives: 3x620GB WD in RAID 5
Other: 2xLite-On DVDRW
Video: 8800gts 640MB
Everything else has been taken out to test.
The rig worked fine for over a year with the original 4200+. Fired it up one day and got no POST and LEDs 4/6/8/10 were red. Took everything out and after testing I found that it booted with everything but the 8800gts. Seems like the 8800gts is bad but the LED code indicates a processor problem as per the manual. I picked up the Athlon X4 635 for a steal, updated BIOS and installed that chip. Everything works fine but I still have the same problem if the 8800gts is installed. I tested it with a different power supply with the same results. I don't have another PCI-E card or motherboard to do further testing.
Everything points to the 8800gts being bad and I should just suck it up and pick up a new GTS250 or something but the LED code makes me wary. I'd really hate to go pick up a new vid card only to find it has the same issue and I'd love to hear if anybody has had a similar problem and found that the LEDs were just wrong in indicating a problem with the processor.
Thanks in advance for any and all feedback. I'll take any feedback on my GTS250 choice also though this might not be the appropriate place for it.

Thanks for the reply Mordred. That 8800 was a great card for me. I was always an ATI guy but the 8800 was at my sweet spot for price and performance when I put my box together so I gave nVidia a try and it worked out.
That makes perfect sense about why I'm getting this LED code. I think I was partially holding out hope that there was just something I was missing and that the 8800 was still OK.
I do IT for a living so I have tried to do as much in-depth research as possible. I game frequently but I'm not really the guy playing the games which are cutting edge graphically and while I like the games to look good, I'm not really unhappy about having to dial down the settings a little. What I'm hoping to do is squeeze the most I can out of my current rig and avoid having to make a large investment in a single VC until the DX12 cards get into their second generation, at which time I'll probably be in the position to build a whole new rig. I guess the decision I'm trying to make is whether a gts250 now and then another 6-8 months or so down the road will last me another year and a half or so until the DX12 cards get into a good price point. Maybe I'm not right on how long that will take?
I picked up the GSkill kits on the recommendation from the hive mind over at Overclocker.net because they were on sale (cheap to begin with) and people were getting some good results OC'ing them. I haven't had an issue with the GSkill kits yet thought I don't remember off-hand at this point where I finally have the timings set at.

Neo 2 Platinum freezes while booting with USB HDD attached

This system freezes when a powered-on USB HDD is connected. I realize that the system is trying to boot off the USB device and have disabled all of the USB boot options in the BIOS. However, DISABLE USB HDD is not one of them! Is their any BIOS or other fix available for the problem?
Moe

After bios update , clear cmos with jumper onboard .
After that you must enter cmos setup and "Load optimized defaults" followed by save+exit
Sounds to me bios if looking for MBR on attached USB HDD ( didn't do this on my Neo2 with 1.C bios and external USB attached)
Set the normal boot order to
Floppy
Cdrom
HDD
Boot other devices :Disabled
(other boot order can mock things up)
Find "USB KB/Storage support" set to:Enable
Save+Exit
Boot with USB HDD attached and enter the submenu of "Harddisk boot priority" in cmos setup and all recognized HDD's
wether they are IDE/SATA/USB shall be listed , move your OS HDD witch host bootfiles/mbr to top with PGUP key and save+exit .

MBA doesn't boot with Ethernet plugged in /Startup disk ok

Hi everyone
My Macbook Air running OS X no longer boots when the ethernet cable (via USB adapter) is plugged in - it gets stuck at the grey screen. It starts booting as soon as I unplug it.
I have already reset the startup disk, but to no success...
Internet works fine when I plug it in after starting up.
Does anyone have another idea?
many thanks

Yes... disconnect the Shuffle before booting. Your iMac is looking for a bootable system on the Shuffle (really...). It's neither an issue nor a bug, it's the way YOUR iMac works.

IMac will not boot with iPod connected

Hello everyone
I have a new iMac Core 2 Duo 17 inch 2.0 ghz and it seems to have a problem starting up when a 5th generation iPod is connected to the computer. When the computer is turned on with the iPod connected, the blank grey screen comes on, yet the apple logo or the spinning startup wheel does not appear. However, if the iPod is unplugged, it will startup as usual. Otherwise, there are no other problems with the computer or iPod.
I have attempted the following to resolve the issue, yet none of the aforementioned troubleshooting ideas have worked
- Reset the PRAM and the SMU
- Run Apple Hardware Test with no probems
- Reinstalled Mac OS Tiger and applications
- Reset the iPod and reimported songs onto iPod
- Enabled and disabled hard disk mode for iPod
I know that I can simply let the iPod be disconnected at startup; however, I feel like this should not have to be done with a new Apple product. Please let me know any other advice or if anyone has experienced the same issue.
Thanks!
Dave
iMac Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Have you reset your Startup Disk preference? If not, do so to see if that resolves your issue. It sounds as if your iMac is looking to try and boot from the iPod's disk.

IPhone 3G ver 3.1 - spotlight doesn't work with accessory connected anymore

Hello,
I've been using iPhone 3G for quite a long time now and everything was fine until a recent update to OS ver. 3.1... I've noticed, that spotlight doesn't work now as it worked before... The thing is that I'm using iPhone as a phone and a source of music in my car. I connect it to Pioneer car audio system via USB. Before 3.1 update I was able to search for a song in spotlight and when I tapped it - it just played via car speakers. Now it doesn't do anything. I keep tapping, but nothing happens. The only way to play a song - disconnect iPhone from Pioneer, find song in spotlight, tap on a song to launch it and connect iPhone to Pioneer while the song is playing.
Well, I have a workaround, but it requires both of my hands... But it's kind of unsafe to do so while driving... Could someone confirm spotlight working while connected to any accessory?.. Maybe I'm the only one having this issue and iPhone restore would help?.. I just don't want to restore without any reason...
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi to the forum. This is my first post - ever!
It's taken me 25 years of Apple equipment purchase and enthusiastic advocation to get to this point.
And what has got me here? 'The GPS on my iPhone 3G has doesn't work'. If you Google this statement you get 12 million hits. It seems to me that's probably 12 million people who have a problem with an Apple product they've purchased.
I've read a lot of the solutions that other users have come up with - dozens of different ones. I've updated the iPhone software as soon as I can, I've been patient, I've given Apple chance to sort it out. I've even gone back to printing out Google maps onto paper (remember 'paper') and taken those out with me in the car to find my way around town.
However - the southern hemisphere summer is coming and I want to use the (totally brilliant) Navionics chart/GPS App on the boat. No chance. According to the iPhone we're in Africa not New Zealand.
So what to do? I can't find any 'official' info from Apple. I've no idea how the politics of these situations work - and I don't care! 12 million hits can't be wrong. Apple needs to tell it's users what is happening (even if they're still working on it), and when we can expect a fix.
Come on Apple, keep us in the loop - we love your products - and we want to keep advocating for you!
PS - this is the best place I could find to have ths little discusion - if anyone has a more direct line to God (err I mean Apple) please let me know!

Slow boot with usb connected on minimac 2006

My Mini Mac (early 2006) was working ok till 2 days ago when the boot times went into the 4 minute range with the USB CD printer from primera pluged in.
I check the firm ware on both devices and they are current.
I'm thinking solar flares. Can anyone concur or suggest something else.
Thank you.
Waiting to print more CDs
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Are you saying boot times are normal if it's not connected?
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when you plug drive in after booted up.

P965 Platinum doesn't boot

Hello,
Brand new parts:
MSI P965 Platinum
Geforce GTS 8800 640MB
Intel Core Duo E6600 processor
Kingston 2*1GB 800Mhz ECC memory
Older parts, but was working fine in my old computer (GTS 8800 was tested and working too):
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
2*120GB Seagate
Zalman 400W power supply (20pin motherboard connector)
Nec DVD Writer
Logitech DiNovo Keyboard and mouse
Now when assembled everything very carefully, this system wont even boot properly. However I manage to get the power on to the computer, but nothing happens after that. D-Bracket shows 3&4 green and 1&2 red. This led combination turns on right from the beginning and does not change. When I unplug the 4pin power plug for the processor, I get 1&2&3 red and 4 green. I have tried to unplug everything(vga, drives, memory, sound card) but it doesn't seem to change anything. Nothing have been seen in LCD monitor so far...
One thing I'm wondering is that I have 2*1GB ECC memory and in motherboard manual it says that only Non-ECC is supported. Could that be my problem?
Hope there are some solution to this. Thank you for your answers already!

Remove 1 ddr2, 1 HD, DVDRW and the Audigy... Try boot again... If sucessful, your PSU cannot provide enough to your system... (I have a Seventeam 420w and it runs ok... but my VGA are less hungry)
