K9N Platinum Motherboard problem???

Hello. I got a K9N-Platinum motherboard and AM2 X2 4600+ CPU. However, I often got the following problem:
My system sometimes froze, no response at all, couldn't use mouse and keyboard of course.
1) I set up the system to shut down monitor after 60 minutes. However, sometimes the system couldn't
recover, all parts stopped working, including hard disks.
2) When the hard disk is transferring, such phenomenon could happen again.
Finally I found a solution. I had to manually set up the CPU voltage to "1.35V" in BIOS which can resolve my problem completely.
This problem only happened when the cpu voltage was set to "auto".
I thought it was a power management problem, so I installed hotfix KB896256 and KB924441 and all dual-core
cpu optimizers, the problem still existed.
My system is as follows:
K9N Platinum with BIOS 1.6 (601-7250-070********)
AM2 X2 4600+
Geil DDR2 800 1G*2
Inno3D 7900GS
Western Digital Raptor 37G
Liteon 18X DVD burner
500W PSU
I want to know whether this is a defect of my motherboard. Any advices would be appreciated.
Thanks.mate.

Can understand the question "what CPU core do you have"?
I have the AM2 dual core 4600+ CPU,Windsor core, 89W watt.
yep that i have asked, well there is nothing to worry about voltage applied manually matched with your default CPU vcore.

  • 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: 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
    eVGA GeForce 7800GT videocard with Zalman VF900, 490/1220
    Hitachi Deskstar 7K80 SATA HDD

    Floppy drive
    3x 80mm fans, 1 cold cathode
    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 - 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

    Quote from: WillyTP on 15-February-07, 05:36:01
    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 Ram Voltage??!

    Hello dudes!
    Can someone tell me what ram voltage K9N Platinum is?!
    O ill buy some memories, with 1.9 or 2.0v... and just wanna know what is ram voltage of this mobo...
    i know asus m2n-e max is set to 1.95v... but dont know about K9N platinum...
    So... if anyone can help me, i ll aprecciate..
    tnkz a lot!
    Ahhh... almost forget... is OCZ compatible with this mobo??!
    Tnkz a lot!

    Quote from: Steyn on 12-October-06, 04:41:12
    I have the K9N Platinum motherboard aswell, and the standard DDR voltage is 1.80
    OK, let me make it clear. there is no standard voltage on the mobos. the default voltage depends on the memory you are using. different memory modules will default at different voltages, as per the data that the manufacturer placed in their SPDs.
    if you are talking about JEDEC default voltage for DDR2, then yes, it is 1.8V, with a maximum of 2.3V. you can read about timings and voltages for the JEDEC standard here:

  • K9n platinum memory

        I just purchased a k9n platinum  motherboard.Does anyone have any suggestions on memory for this board? I was considering corsair twin 2x1024-5400c4 or  kingston khx5400d2/1g.Also I am not sure if i should go with dual channel or single {does it really make much of a difference with dual channel}If i go with the corsair memory can i still use the default settings in the bios.The k9n board supports 1.8v, the corsair uses 1.9v will I have to change bios setting for this ram. Thanks for your help

    Quote from: Steyn on 07-November-06, 03:16:30
    The board's default voltage is 1.9V. You can however set the DDR voltage from 1.8-2.45 Volt.
    default voltages depend on the memory SPD defaults not on the mobo. so if the memory modules have a 1.8V SPD default, the BIOS will set the memory at 1.8V.

  • MSI K9N Platinum Beeps at bios?

    I've recently built my own PC, with a MSI K9N Platinum motherboard. Everything works fine, but everytime at the MSI Boot screen (Press del to enter bios blabla etc.), i hear 3 beeps.. I was wondering if this is normal or not?
    Everything works fine though.
    And another thing: Are there any options inside the BIOS i just have to enable/disable for better performance? I heard some stuff about 'spectrum' or something? And the memory command rate, i heard it's better to put it on 1T instead of 2T?
    Any suggestions are welcome

    Some boards have the habit of beeping more then once when USB-devices are connected. If you want to check your system for this, disconnect all USB-devices and boot your system.
    About settings: yes, 1T's slightly better then 2T. However, your system may not boot if you set 1T command rate. If it won't boot, simply reset cmos to set it back to 2T.
    Leave Spread Spectrum to Disabled, unless you start OC'ing.

  • K9N-Platinum wrong cpu temp + nforce drivers problem

    I have a msi k9n-platinum (ms-7250)
    Cpu : Amd 64 x2 3800+
    4 * 512 ddr II 533 samsung
    Asus 7900 GT
    6 x maxtor sata hd's
    Power : hyper type-r 580 watts
    pioneer 110d
    lg combo cdrw-dvd
    When i builded the system , i installed Windows XP + Sp2 , made all windows updates
    After i tryed to install the drivers a got wit the cd.
    My system was very instable (i had no problem whit the motherboard i had before)
    I made the install more than once , but still got instability
    So i went to the nvidia site and downloaded the drivers for the chipset from there , and also made a bios update to v 1.2
    System went stable.
    Tried again after the bios update with the original cd --> not stable , randomless reboot
    so i'm now working with the nvidia drivers from the nvidia site , it's stable but when i go to bios i see that the CPU temp is -38°
    Is it a fix for this or do i have a wrong mobo ????

    -38°C , seen that a few times now .
    I think you should RMA/return the motherboard .
    Why , see:

    Not the same board as yours but all have a faulty calibraded (non workin) sensor on their motherboards .
    The positive thing though is that the boards with this issue that runs on AMI bios doesn't freeze/halt as the award based ones does.

  • 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(NON SLI) DUAL CHANNEL MODE PROBLEM

    hi
    put a new system together with the following specs:

    2x512 kingston ddr2(667mhz)
    pci video(yes not pci-e)have not decided which vid card to get yet.

    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.

  • K9N Platinum Supported CPU's

    Hi everyone,
    My question is fairly straightforward.  I currently have a MSI K9N Platinum AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP in my HTPC.  Long story short I found out that my CPU was not powerful enough to decode 1080p content so I have purchased a new CPU, a  AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103228
    According to the CPU support list here:
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&prod_no=252&maincat_no=1
    I should be able to use this processor with my motherboard with BIOS 1.A, so I downloaded Live Update and flashed the BIOS to 1.A (I believe it now shows it as 1.10, though I am not sure where that is noted in POST) in preparation for the new CPU (the flash went fine).
    I am wondering if anyone has any experience using this motherboard with this CPU?  Is it truly compatible or the CPU simply too new an edition for my motherboard?  I can probably still cancel my order and get a 5600+ or equivalent if necessary.
    I appreciate any feedback/responses.

    I bet it's your videocard not handling it very well.
    Somewhere rings a bell that nVidia is lacking hardware decoding with videocards, but can't remember exactly what it was.
    Well that is the long story short part  :D.  In a nutshell yes it is my video card, I have a 7900GT and essentially nvidia's purevideo decoder for HD content has NEVER worked properly.  This basically means that the CPU has to handle the entire decoding load, which my old CPU is incapable of doing (hence all the stuttering, audio/video out of sync issues I get).  Basically I had two options:
    A) Buy an ATI, one of the 3xxx series that actually does x264 decoding
    B) Replace the CPU with a faster/better/dual core one (many codecs can now use dual-core CPU's for decoding HD content)
    In the end I made the decision to replace the CPU to resolve the problem because while buying a 3xxx series card does appear to work WONDERS for HD content decodes (it reduces the CPU load to 5-10% in some cases) if the file is encoded in some non-standard way that the GPU decoder doesn't recognize the load is going straight back to the CPU (like my Nvidia 7900GT is doing).  This way I figure I get a better CPU and it should be able to muscle it's way through decoding anything I throw at it.  If I need to replace the GPU someday or want to do it in order to reduce the load on the CPU I can always look into one of the 3xxx series (I hear that the nvidia 8600's might actually do some HD decoding as well) though I have really become skeptical of ATI cards lately.

  • K9N Platinum and BIOS flashing

    New to MSI and this forum
    I have a K9N Platinum which I've had some problems with and also need to flash the BIOS.
    Problems are: Leadtek TV tuner card video problem watching TV (image and sound freezing) then my laser printer would not print through the parrallel port (works okay through a USB port).
    Have had no real solutions from MSI with those two problems
    Just recently I've come into owning a MSI 7950 GX2 video card.
    Apparently this card won't work with the K9N unless I flash upgrade the BIOS (using A7250NMS, V1.20)
    I know my way around computer hardware but BIOS flashing I've never done.
    I'm using a NTFS file system,OS is WINXP SP1, processor AMD64 4800+ and HDD Hitachi 250GB SATA2
    I have two choices to use these brand new video card:
    1: Try to flash the BIOS (with the obvious risks involved)
    2: Replace the K9N board with one that is compatible with the 7950 (bearing in mind the other problems with the K9N)
    I've read artcles from this site and MSI about flashing using a NTFS file system and I'm not confident.
    I know this post is between BIOS and motherboards so it was hard to decide where to place it.
    If anyone has any thoughts on the best solution for this it would be appreciated   

    First of all , make sure you have a "fixedup" motherboard .
    ( the capacitor fix , see info in the "Post your K9N Ultra/Platinum (non SLI) 'Power Off' Issues Here (NForce 570 MCP)" thread)

    Flash bios doesn't need to be done from HD .
    You can have both afudos flash util and bios image file on a msdos bootable floppy diskette (verify it from windows with chkdsk A: /R )

  • K9N Platinum not booting up or showing any picture.

    i had recently bought all my parts for a custom computer. i just received them 2 days ago. i got the k9n platinum motherbaord with an amd athlon 3800+ am2 cpu, ATi x1650 pro graphics card, Ultra 1024MB ddr2 533mhz ram, 320GB IDE hard drive, ide dvd burner, and a Raidmax Sagitta case.
    the problem is i cant boot up into the bios screen. everytime i turn on the pc the monitor doesnt seem to show the computers there, just shows the amber light as if on sleep mode. first off i tried the mobo with just the cpu and graphics card, and still nothin. then the graphics card, cpu, and ram and no results. then just no ram, no cpu and no graphics card to test if the motherboard will give me a beep. i didnt get any beep whatsoever. i also tried this on multiple monitors and still no prevail.
    any help would be appreciated

    uhh how can i find out what the amps are? also im sure the ram isnt the problem since the motherboard doesnt even beep with or w/o memory... but who knows?? so i am somewhat narrowed down to the motherboard or the psu..
    on the PSU sticker. (read +12V xx Ampers)
    move your memory stick to the 1st orange slot DIMM3, close to the CPU socket.
    remove power cord from the PSU, hit power button several time to drain caps electrify, touch with hands some metal for ES discharge, and Clear CMOS.
    move jumper(JBAT1, green jumper near to the battery) to Clear Data position, wait 1 minute, then move jumper to the Keep Data position:
    pull back power cord, ensure all power cables are connected to the mainboard.(24 ATX connector, 4pin JPW1, and 4pin HDD style JPW2) then  turn on PC.
    post back results.
