K9N Platinum HT error

When I recently switched on my computer a BIOS gave me this message:
A Hyper Transport sync flood occured on last boot.
Press F1 to Resume
It sounds a little .. terrifying and i really don't like the world flood.
I have:
K9N Platinum 601-7250-020..., bios v1.7
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
RAM Corsair TWIN2X2048-5400C4 667MHz 2*1GB 4-4-4-12
MSI NX7600GT T2D256EZ
Enermax Liberty 500W powersource
It's not first time i have problem with my comp. My comp suffered from random freezes in any OS (ubuntu, opensuse, etc...) and even without OS like in POST or boot device choosing page. I runned memtest and found out that my DDR2 had been broken. Now i've got new RAMs and memtest shows no errors but freezes haven't stopped. And now this ugly message from BIOS. What does it matter? It looks like mobo fatal error.
sorry for my english

do you change anythink before that happend?
power down PC, remove power cord from the PSU then Clear CMOS Guide
power-up on your PC and check how its going.
change what?
my BIOS is properly configured and this (1.7) is my fifth BIOS. And I have reseted CMOS min. 20 times since i have got this computer ('cos forgotten password, etc..)
I haven't touched any HT settings as well as FSB and CPU settings! i've only activated quiet'n'cool and set my rams to 4-4-4-12

K9N Platinum onboard ethernet resource problem

I am having a problem getting my onboard ethernet to work on the MSI K9N Platinum motherboard.
The device manager is giving me Error Code 12 which stands for Not enough available resources.
I have tried everything short of reinstalling Windows to get this resolved. This is a fresh windows install. Right after the install I installed the chipset drivers. Since then I have reinstalled the drivers, disabled anything that I am not using in the device manager, and even disabled everything but the onboard lan and IDE controller in the bios. Nothing has worked.
Does anybody know what I could do to get the onboard ethernet to work?

Did you use the "Load Optimized Defaults" in cmos settings before win-install.
Sounds to me windows didn't install the correct HAL ,meaning you may have had wrong bios settings for ACPI & MPS.
This worked. I just did a repair install of windows after loading optimized defaults in bios. Thanks for the help.

K9N Platinum Sli trouble

so i have assembled my new system:
Athlon 64 x2 AM2 4200+
Zalman CNPS9500
K9N Platinum Sli
OCZ DDR2 PC2-5400 667MHz EL Gold Edition 2GB Dual Channel Kit

a SATA drive and a DVD burner (these arent important for the issue)
temps = idle 30-34 c, load - no idea havent checked that yet
Enermax Liberty 400w PSU
ever since ive assembled the system i ran into some strange thing - during the changing of setting in the BIOS it froze a few times.
Neverthless i was able to run the system, install windows, start to install other software (yesterday)
and today when i turned on the system, windows booted up, and sudenly it restarts and freezes up in pre bios stage...
Reset or Shutdown resulted in power up, but nothing happening, the monitor did even got out of standby...
after a few tries, and about ten minutes without power, it started up and went to a bios stage, giving a CMOS Bad Checksum Error... loaded bios with fail-safe settings, system worked fine and booted up windows... windows worked fine aswell, attempt to reboot and change the bios settings, gave a Bad Checksum from start and a freeze in bios. System is not getting to bios stage once again...
A Mobo problem that warrants a vist to the store, to return it?

oh and the PSU got two +12v rails with 20a on each, should be enough?... (though Enermax seems to have troubles with math since according to them 20a+20a=30a)
trust me, enermax doesn't have problems with math. this is actually how it works. you cannot just add up the 12v rails to get the max amps on the 12v.

managed to boot with the suspected mem stick - running memtest-86 - counted 746321 errors and then froze.... looks like the stick IS defective
try to increase the memory voltage a bit. i think you should be safe up to 2.1V. if you still get errors in memtest, then you have a faulty memory module.

K9N Platinum: CPU upgrade = Random shutdowns..

I just installed a new AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ EE in my MSI K9N Platinum motherboard (MS-7250 v1.0, the 070 model according to the box). I had updated the BIOS to version 1.7 before installing the CPU. Anyhow, I got the CPU installed and it seemed to be running fine. Until I started playing my games. Upon playing fifteen (!!!) minutes of Day of Defeat, the system completely turned off. COMPLETELY. No error messages. I check core temp's log to make sure the CPU wasnt overheating; it wasnt. The max temp was 38C on one of the cores. Just to make sure the CPU wasnt the problem, I ran two instances of prime95 for 5 hours and there were no calculation errors whatsoever. I also ran 3-4 loops of SuperPi, using the 32M test. No errors.
I have come to the conclusion that it must be the motherboard, and possibly it does not like the CPU. Or else it is having the same random shutdown problems as many other K9N Platinum/Ultra boards are experiencing. From what i have read, this issue only relates to boards that are 040, 050, or 060 models. I have a 070 model, and I AM GETTING THIS PROBLEM!!
Help!!!
Full specs:
MSI K9N Platinum MS7250 V1.0, BIOS 1.7, model 070
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ EE (old CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+; had no issues with the 3500+) vcore: 1.225
1 GB OCZ Platinum DDR2-800, 5-5-5-15, 2.1v

LITE-ON DVD-ROM drive
Floppy drive

Antec Truepower 430 watt PSU, dual +12v @ 17A a piece.
Any ideas?

well, i know that ACPI has to do with power saving features.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACPI
and HPET also has something to do with CPUs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPET
and MCP55 is the nortbridge.
so i suppose i can conclude that it protects from overvoltage or promotes more power-saving? i dunno i really dont care as long as my PC works now,

K9N Platinum and Corsair CM2X1024-6400 **UPDATE - FIXED**

I'm trying to help a friend with their new K9N Platinum motherboard. We got everything installed successfully, but after getting into Windows, the machine will just freeze up randomly doing anything, software install, whatever, within a minute, or sometimes as long as 5 or more minutes.
Basic specs:
K9N Platinum motherboard
Flashed to BIOS version 1.4
AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ (65W) socket AM2
BFG Geforce 7900GS
500W PCI-E power supply
Wester Digital 120GB 7200rpm SATA HD 8MB cache
Single 1GB stick of Corsair CM2X1024-6400 RAM (DDR2 800MHz) - Brand New - DIMM slot 1
Windows XP Professional with SP2 and all windows updates installed. (using IE6)
Installed all latest drivers from MSI's website for this board.
We tried 1st with DRAM timings on auto, then tried to set the timing manually according to Corsair's spec sheet for this module, including memory voltage at 1.9V.
We think it might be a bad memory module, because after getting into Windows, we run memtest, and errors are detected within the 1st minute. We have RMA'd the RAM module. I'm wondering though if we just didn't have the timing for the memory set correctly in the BIOS.
Is anyone here runnning this exact memory successfully, or is this board incompatible with this Corsair module? If you are running successfully, did you have to change the SPD timings manually, or are you running using the SPD Auto setting?
If you had to use manual setting, any help with the values to set in DRAM Timing would be greatly appreciated. As much detail as you can provide would be great. Thanks for your help.

Ok, still having major problem with running world of warcraft. This PC freezes/locks up in the game every single time within 5-10 minutes of play no matter what we've tried so far. This is not a shutdown or restart problem, just a freeze/lock-up symptom. I'm getting a bit frustrated at this point. No other problems in windows are encountered. We can work in windows with any other application, like adobe photoshop or any other software, with zero trouble. I'm beginning to think this is video card related somehow with this 7900 GS card.
For added info, the video card being used is this;
BFG Tech BFGR79256GSOCE GeForce 7900GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card
Chipset Manufacturer NVIDIA
GPU GeForce 7900GS
Core clock 525MHz(vs. 450MHz standard)
PixelPipelines 20
Memory Clock 1320MHz
Memory Size 256MB
Memory Interface 256-bit
Memory Type GDDR3
3D API
DirectX DirectX 9
OpenGL OpenGL 2.0
Ports - DVI 2
The mouse used is a logitech USB track ball mouse if that has any bearing on anything. No mouse troubles though, just thought I'd mention it.
Here's what we've tried so far;
Updated to BIOS version 1.4. This was done after the Windows XP install though, so not sure if something is hosed up here.
1) We set the RAM timings to 5-5-5-12-2T and 2.1Volts in BIOS manually, as per direct recommendation from Corsair.
1a) Ran memtest all night for about 9 hours straight and no errors at all detected. So I'm guessing this isn't a RAM problem really, but who knows .
2) Installed the Windows XP SP2 Hotfix for Dual Core Processors - hotfix KB896256
3) Installed the AMD Dual Core Optimizer from here -->http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html
4) Updated the Nvidia system drivers with the nForce 550/570/570/590 SLI (C51+MCP55) driver package 9.19 WHQL from MSI's website here--> http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=730&kind=1
5) Currently running Nvidia video driver version --> ForceWare Release 90 Version: 93.71 Release Date: November 2, 2006 WHQL Certified.
6) Ran a complete Direct X diagnostics via dxdiag. All tests passed successfully.
7) Tried to install the AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (x86 and x64 exe) 1.3.2.16 from here -->http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html
But it would NOT install because it says I have to first uninstall the current driver via add/remove programs, but it's not listed there, before installing this one. So, I have no idea where to look or how to do this, I'm afraid of messing up the processor driver. Can someone explain how to install this driver, and would not having this installed possibly be a potential cause of the game lock-ups?
I don't know what else to do. Could the version 9.19 Nvidia SATA or IDE drivers I installed be causing these game lock-up problems? If so, do I just go into device manager and just rollback drivers for all of the devices listed under the "IDE/ATA ATAPI Controllers" in device manager?
Again, this was a fresh windows XP Pro install on a newly formatted hard drive. Obviously something is fubar, but I'm running out of things to try. Maybe going into BIOS and "load optimized defaults" and start over?
Lastly, the tech specs on newegg.com for this video card say "A 350W PCI Express compliant system power supply (with 12V current rating of 22A or more)" is needed. Since the 500W power supply we're using has 2 separate 12V rails rated at 20A each, could this be the problem?? I'm open to suggestions. Thank you.

K9N Platinum Hardware Virtualization?

Hi all!
I have an MSI K9N Platinum 7250 and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Windsor AM2 F2 processor. The 3800+ supports hardware virtualization, but I cannot find a way to enable it in the Bios.
I ran the Live Update 5 utility, and it shows the current BIOS version as being 1.K0 (I think its an error and should be 1.0). Either way, the Live Update utility does not show any new updates to the Bios.
Does this mean that even though my CPU supports Hardware Virtualization, there is no way for me to use it as my Motherboard cannot?
This is quite deceiving as when I bought the motherboard a few years ago, in the description it said that it supports the new AMD X2 range which has features such as hardware virtualization.
Any help would me much appreciated.
Thank you!

I just did, and I got the following message:
"This System is not compatible with Hyper-V
This utility detected that a necessary BIOS patch is not installed."
I dont get it though as everywhere I've read, it says the Windsor chips were the first to support Hardware Virtualization, and the 3800+ is a Windsor one. My CPU box has this on it: "AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Dual Core Processor Socket AM2 Windsor 2.0GHZ 2x512KB 89W 90NM Retail"
Is the Live Update 5 tool not detecting that a newer Bios version is out? I see there is a 7250v1B one can download from the 7250 support page, but I thought the Live Update 5 tool is the best thing to use for updating Bios?

K9N Platinum issues

I just bought an MSI K9N platinum mainboard with an AMD Athlon X2 4200+ cpu and Corsair Twin2X2048-5400C paired memory set. At first the bios would instantly crash but I solved that problem by by setting the voltage to 1.9v and manually setting the timing to 4-4-4-12 and forcing the clock to standard 667mhz (5400C is 675mhz). This allowed me to boot but both windows and windows setup would get a BSOD almost strait away (different one nearly every time). I then raised the voltage to 2.1v and this allowed me to log into windows but if I try to do anything stressful such as games or benchmarking it will run for a random amount of time (not usually longer than 5 minutes) and then get a BSOD. Occasionally background applications randomly crash and sometimes I get a BSOD for no reason in windows (not often). I ran memtest86 for 8.5 hours and it showed no errors. Ive updated the BIOS to the latest version. Any body have any idea whats wrong? I can usually use windows fairly fine but no games.

So this one will be fine? http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-65zf.htm
hope your right because thats a lot of money to spend if its not the problem. Is there a test or tell tale sign of low power so I can be sure?
USERS:
"Artifacts and freezing on Sapphire X1900XT
Hello, I have a Sapphire X1900XT running at stock speeds and stock cooler. At default fan settings I have no problem running not so power hungry games but when I start Oblivion (1600x1200 2xAAA, 8xAF) the game runs good but about in 15 minutes (varies on the stressfulness of scene) the screen becomes garbled and computer stops responding. VPU recover sometimes manages to restart the card but it crashes again within seconds."
Resolve:
"I bought a Silverstone 650W Zeus and all problems are gone! No more weird fun speed changes under different loads, no more lockups!"
yep im sure its your PSU isnt enought. users confirm that, also official recommendation is "you need atleast 30A on +12V(450-Watt power supply or greater,30 Amps on 12 volt rail recommended) The power supply requirements for that card is 30 amps on a single 12v rail or 22amps on 2x12v rails(better get Sinlge Rail PSU, avoid dual rail)"
"Is there a test or tell tale sign of low power so I can be sure?"
-you can also borrow some recommended good brand powerfull enought PSU to test it before buy it, to be sure to resolve problem.
test you can see by yourself lockup, reboots, abnormal program termination,issues and other are expected when PSU isnt enought when your VGA starting to drain power. you can make test, decrease drasticly GPU Core and Memory Frequency and you must be stabilised.but that isnt solution it is just for testing.

K9N Platinum Problem

Hello,
I have a K9N Platinum 7250-020 and I read from a different forum to make a new thread about the shutdown issues since it said it wasn't affected. Funny thing is, I'm getting the same exact problem.
My specs:
CPU: AM2 4200+ (2.4ghz, memory is not overclocked because of the odd multiplier)
Motherboard: K9N Platinum bios 1.2 (tried several of them and they are all buggy!)
PSU: CoolerMaster iGreen series 500watt
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 2gb ddr2 800
Videocard: ATi x1950pro
Soundcard: Creative Audigy Platinum
Symptoms:
I will be listening to music thru winamp and then when I am installing a program it completely shuts off during the middle of installation.
I tried installing a game once from the cd-rom and then it immediately shuts down.
The funny thing of all of this, I never got a blue screen. So I know it can not be because of my Overclocking.
So thanks for reading, please repost if you have anything to report. I don't know when MSI will come out with bios 1.4 for this. I'm so angry...I do not know whether to return this or not. It would have to be through MSI..so yeah. Thanks again!

Well...this is weird..
Yeah I tried underclocking the bus (now keep in mind I have a AM2, 4200+, and it has an odd multiplier of 11x. Because of this the bus has to compensate with the memory, running at ddr2 800, by running it slightly lower. So if I were to run the bus at 200 MHz, then the memory would be around 366mhz. Thus, that leaves me some head room of overclocking just the CPU since the ram is specified to run at 400mhz.). It didn't help. So since I was running bios version 1.10, I though, "hey..why not update." And so I did to the latest. To my surprise the update description includes: -Improve memory compatibility. Funny, huh?
With that said, I updated and had the settings to what they're specified from Crucial for latency. Then I overclocked to 218 MHz. Thus, resulting a speed about 399.2 MHz for the memory. And to this very moment that I have been running two instances of Prime95, it has yet to come up with a fatal error.
Now like you said, BOSSKILLER, I checked the cpu temperature (with bios version 1.10) and it said like around 40C. Although, once I flashed to the latest version (with it being stable using via Prime95), now the cpu temp in the bios says something around -42C. And it gets better. Since I'm using 64 bit, MSI doesn't have their core center working for 64 bit (to my knowledge). So I decided to see what Everest Ultimate ed. would say. And here is the kicker. It gives a more logical reading for the CPU temp...+39C!
So yeah...lol.... It is working fine and dandy right now! But ehh...in the bios the auto-fan control wont work because the bios sees the cpu temp being negative and so the fan control wont adjust to it.
Anyway, thanks for helping me out again, BK! It's real nice having someone well...I don't know how to say exactly, but its just nice having someone to go to about my problems!
Thanks again!!!
P.S. Sorry about the long essay! :D

K9N Platinum Bios flash

Hello, I got a K9N Platinum and I did flash is succesfull to 1.8, but did screw my windows vista drivers :( .
so np, C:/ is only windows for me, my files are on other drives and I installed windows again.
but after a few restart system files get damaged again. now I want flash it back to a version with full support with the amd x2 6000+. (flasht my bios with a x2 3800+ but someone said to me 1.0 bios version dont support 6000+ so flasht it before I did put in my new processor)
anyone can tell me the most stable version or I should flash it back to 1.0? (btw that backup I made with live update 3 is 1.8 too ??? )
can someone give me some advice me what are the best options for me? many thanks.

everything works fine now, but when I shut down my pc and after 5 minutes I turn him on, the computer starts but he lost the videocard driver ???
When I install the driver again it works fine and restarting the computer too, but a compleet shut down let him lose the driver or something.
Is this because I dont have activated my windows copy yet or just because when I first time restarted my pc, after installing chipset drivers, he deleted some files with checkdisk again (checkdisk dont start anymore now when starting up windows only just once, but windows did start succesfull after checkdisk without errors in windows).
I really dont know if this something has to do with my bios, but windows did never start checkdisk before starting up my OS and del. some files or something. If you dont know what this is I gonna try XP I think, because I almost want to trow my pc out of the window
EDIT:
Did delete the driver and let Windows install it byhimself instead of the exe file from Nvidia and now he dont lose the driver info anymore when I shut down my pc :D really I dont know, but strange things are computers or windows just suck
"but strange things are computers or windows just suck "
Its Vista... make sure that vista is up to date... especially of those patches:
Microsoft Issues Windows Vista Hotfix for Gaming: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=110767.0
Update for Windows Vista (KB938979) - Performance Update: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=110273.0
"everything works fine now, but when I shut down my pc and after 5 minutes I turn him on, the computer starts but he lost the videocard driver ???"
update vista via windows update and re-install the drivers...
Have you tested under XP? i don't expect such problems there..

K9N Platinum and OCZ2P8001GK

Hi. I bought 2 OCZ PC2-6400 512MB DIMM (OCZ2P8001GK) and I am thinking of buying the MSI K9N Platinum (non-SLI) board to run with AMD Athlon X2 3800+. Will it be any compatibility problems running the system with those memory modules? [Running at stock speed (at least), both CPU and RAM (800)].
thnx for any info.

i plugged all the above together, inserted only one ram module in dimm no2 socket and the system boot just fine...the cpu clock on memtest86+ v1.65 says athlon x2 1005mhz, is that correct?i will let memtest run for half an hour and then plug in the second ram module. the m/b has bios version 1.0 (!!) but the memory is normally recognized at 800 mhz as it should be.more soon...

K9N Platinum Beta Bios?

Can anyone tell me or show me if there is a new beta bios out for the K9N Platinum?

K9N Platinum: upgrade to X2 5600+ or X2 6400+?

Hi. This is my first post. I would like to upgrade my CPU on my K9N Platinum and I have a couple of questions:
1. I have narrowed down to two: X2 5600+ (89w) or X2 6400+ (125w)?
- both have the same L2 cache, but the speed and wattage differ
- I play some games and some video encoding
2. Will the power supply that I have be sufficient for the X2 6400+ and support a video card upgrade to a GeForce 8800 series?
Many thanks in advance.

but doesn't overclocking too much or running certain clock speed for too long, will shorter the cpu's life span?
I have a XP1700+ In a MSI K7N2 Delta L, which is default 1.47 and I have had it at 2.0 for nearly four years, aftermarket Copper Core air cooler. The 5000+ Blackie's that I have are at a 16 Multiplier for 3.2 speed. I have one in a abit KN9 SLI and the other in my MSI K9A2 CF both run cool. I am not overclocking my 6400+ Blackie right now, but I would expect it to have a good bit less Overclocking potential. It runs super at default though.
I had a Overclocked ATI 9500 Pro and it died after two and a half years, but I really had it cranked, so yes and no to your question. Good cooling alleviates most of the possible damage. If you are Cool then you are usually okay.

K9N Platinum bios version & cpu support

Hi!
I need some help to clear up some questions regarding my MB.
MB: K9N Platinum, Cpu-z states my bios version is 080014, but i cant see it in the bios list for my MB, so what version is it?
Im currently running with a Athlon X2 5200+ Windsor, and i have got my hands on an Athlon X2 6400+ Black Edition, as far as i can see my MB is supporting that cpu, but is my current bios up to date for the cpu?
I have downloaded the MSI usb bios flashtool and i have set it up, and it boots in dos, but when i run memtest the program just says in one line memtest and a flashing + nothing more happens (i have left the pc for about 3-4min but no change) i feel that im starting to push my luck, and i dont want to kill this MB since its my work and gaming rig.
System spec:
MB: K9N Platinum
CPU: Athlon 64 X2 5200+ (want to install Athlon 64 x2 6400+ BE ID: ADX6400IAA6CZ)
RAM: 6Gb DDR2, 2x1Gb, 2x2Gb

Memtest do have some bugs. You can do test with Orthos instead:

To check is your system is stable or not.
Once done you can ignore Memtest when asking after booting from the USB key
Also leave 1 memory stick only temporary in the 1st DIMM close to CPU socket before BIOS flash.[put remaining sticks back when BIOS flash is done/finished].

K9N PLATINUM(NON SLI) DUAL CHANNEL MODE PROBLEM

hi
put a new system together with the following specs:
amd am2 3800+(2ghz)
k9n platinum 1.20 bios
2x512 kingston ddr2(667mhz)
pci video(yes not pci-e)have not decided which vid card to get yet.
500w psu 12v 35a,5v 25a,3.3v 25a
liteon dvd burner
seagate 300gb ide 7200/16 meg cache windows xp-pro sp2 with all updates.
not overclocking or even trying to.
no sata drives connected.
has never failed to post,boot windows and no lockups or blue screens.
ok,i am trying to get the memory to work in dual mode.
everytime i put the memory in the dual mode slots,the cpu clocks down to 1ghz instead of 2ghz.
verified by bios,windows and cpu-id
i have tried different memory(both ddr2 533 and 667)667 installed now.
also never had any install problems with windows and everything runs fine until i tried dual mode.
after the cpu clocks down to 1ghz,the only way to get it back to normal is a bios reset( load defaults
or press red button).
if i leave the memory as single channel then i have no issues.
also cpu-id says the chipset for my board is nforce 550,i thought k9n platinum had 570 nforce chipset?
this might just be a problem with cpu-id though.
any thoughts on the cpu down clock problem in dual channel mode?
thanks,jeff

1 assume you can get into BIOS with 1 stick only?
Go into the BIOS and manually set the timings and voltage to what your memory manufacturer recommends. Use a 2T command rate and see if it works.
Try both "sets" of dual channel slots, i.e. the two left slots or the two right slots.
