K9N Platinum SLI beep codes?

Upgraded my machine with:
K9N Platinum SLI
AMD X2 4600+
2 Gigs of Corsair DDR2 4-4-4-12
MSI 7900GT
BFG 650 watt psu
My computer was running fine at first, but now I'm getting some weird stuff.
The machine will run like a champ for like 10min and then it will just turn off, as if the power went out. But I just bought the power supply so I don't think that is the problem.
When I try to turn the computer back on it makes 2 fast beeps and then 8 slower beeps and wont post any video.
I tried removing all my other components, reseting the bios, reseating all my cards/cables/memory, replaced the memory and I couldn't get it to boot so I left it alone. Came back in an hour and it booted right up. But after 10 min again... same problem.
Any idea what those 8 beeps mean? And yes I tried using search T_T

Ok, my start up beeps have changed. At first, it was two high pitched beeps and then one low, now, for some reason, and I've made no changes, it's a high-low-high-low. What do these different beeps mean? Everything seems to running ok, but I'd like to know what my computer is doing.
Hi Folks, my first post here so excuse any stupid questions
Anyway, I have just built a new system almost the same as the last posters. It runs perfectly and was the most trouble free system I have ever built. But one thing bothers the heck out of me. As with the last posters system everytime it starts it gives 2 fast high beeps then one low. All fast. This seems a departure from the normal one beep most systems give at start to indicate all is well. So is this normal for this board? Anyone else have this? I have tested absolutely everything and everything is fine. The system is super stable and never does anything silly. Just these different beeps have me confused. Inclined to leave well enough alone anyway. Thanks

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
XFX Geforce 7600GT 256mb XXX edition (another one will be added today for SLI)
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.
Quote from: mr.flint on 26-August-06, 00:33:23
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 SLI - Powering up the PCIe cards

Hey everyone,
I've got a K9N Platinum SLI board. This board has a power supply input point called PWR2, which according to the documentation is used to provide power to stable the operation of graphics cards. My graphic card is BFG nVidia 9750 GT. This card has the PCI-Express external power plug in the back, and my power supply has a dedicated (red) connector for this purpose, which I have attached properly.
The PWR2 is currently connected also, into one of the black 12V connectors. Otherwise, everything is running fine and smooth, but I am sometimes (once a day or so) experiencing random shutdowns during intense gaming (playing LotRO). Stress testing does not cause a shutdown: I've ran 3D Mark 2007 straight for 8-9 hours, while having a CPU Burner application toast the CPU at the same time. But no problems whatsoever. No other games exhibit this problem either.
Since I am providing dedicated power through the extra connector at the back of the card, should I leave the PWR2 connector unplugged ? Is there a chance that using these two connectors at the same time causes the 12V rail to overload, and the PSU shuts down to protect itself ? When this shut down occurs, the power LED is left blinking and I need to plug out the wall socket and wait for several minutes before the blinking stops and it starts up again.
My computer has an Enermax Liberty 620W power supply, and AMD Athlon X2 4600+ CPU. So there should be enough juice, at least. I've tried the tips and tricks suggested here. Using USB-connected Keyboard and Mouse does not correct the issue. I've also verified that this is not an overheating issue. My CPU is cooled by a Scythe Ninja tower heatsink and two 12 cm fans. It is possible that the northbride is heating up (it burns the finger on touch when under load), but from the Web, I've understood that the stock passive heatsink should be enough, and that the NB chip can take rather extreme temperatures.
* UPDATE *
Plugged the PWR2 connector out from the MB, and update the BIOS to 1.10. It's working as usual, but haven't ran any games yet. Heavy gaming usually reproduces the issue, so I'll write more when I know more.

Updated information on the case.
I've been running 2 days now with the PWR2 unplugged. I have had zero problems with shutdowns since. The only problem I now have is that the USB keyboard and mouse refuse to work in Windows XP after an initial bootup from powered down state. I have to unplug and replug them at the login screen in order to get them work again.
So, I decided to do a final sanity check, and replugged the PWR2, then went gaming. After 2 hours of playing, my computer shutted down for the first time. Plugging in the cable did not solve the USB problem either.
As of this day, I'm leaving it unplugged. It seems like an irrelevant connector, which just causes problems.
** Update **
After following Bosskiller's instructions on another thread about using the "Clear CMOS" button and then reconfiguring BIOS from scratch, the cold boot USB issues were solved. The USB devices now work straight after a cold boot, with no need to replug them.
I recommend that the PWR2 -connector info is added to the list of known problems in the sticky thread. If you have a GPU card which takes its power from a dedicated rail (and your PSU has a dedicated connector for this purpose), then leaving the PWR2 -connector unplugged might resolve your shutdown issues, like it solved mine.
After all, according to the manual, this connector is used to give more voltage to the PCI and PCIe busses, and some PCI/PCIe cards might not like this idea at all. There is a reason why these cards have an additional power plug on them...

K9N Platinum, 7600GTOC, SLI, No Video Signal

Just built up my new system, specs as follows
MSI K9N Platinum
AMD 5200X2 AM2 CPU
2 Gigs Corsair XMS2 DDR800
2 BFG Tech 7600GT OC's in SLI
Thermaltake TR2-500 Watt PSU +12V(1) 14A +12V(2)15A
1 Maxtor 120 GB SATA 150
1 Maxtor 160 GB SATA 160
When i turned the computer on for the first time, the system boots up and there is one small beep, sounds like it is posting, but I get no video signal from my monitor, which I checked on my other computer and is working fine, I tried both video cards in the 1st slot, in non-sli mode and I get the same result each time, so I get no video signal with all ways tried? Do I not have enough power in this PSU to run what I have? The video manufacturer suggests a 450W PSU, which I meet, but do I not have enough juice the 12V rails? And would this cause the no signal? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello, welcome to forum.
"When i turned the computer on for the first time, the system boots up and there is one small beep, sounds like it is posting, but I get no video signal from my monitor, which I checked on my other computer and is working fine, I tried both video cards in the 1st slot, in non-sli mode and I get the same result each time, so I get no video signal with all ways tried?"
have you tried with one of them only into 1st PCI-E? use 1st DVI output, when using SLI, ensure SLI bridge is configured property, connect monitor to VGA onto 1st PCI-E slot. also check monitor output is configured property(etc: Input 1, Input 2).
power down PC, remove power cord from the PSU and Clear CMOS Guide
re-test.
ensure all power cables are connected property. try to boot with one memory stick only into slot close to CPU socket.
what D-bracket shows?
"Do I not have enough power in this PSU to run what I have? The video manufacturer suggests a 450W PSU, which I meet, but do I not have enough juice the 12V rails? And would this cause the no signal?"
yes, think is too weak for your system
its recommended to get single rail with high amperes on +12V (over 30A)

Is your problem caused by your PSU?

K9N Platinum (not SLI) Ethernet/LAN ports shut down

Not sure if this has been up before but i could not find this exact problem. I have the K9N Platinum with am AMD 64x 4200+ CPU and OCZ 1GB x2 mem. My build and install of XP went without incident. My problem is that when I start to download anything of size, the LAN shut down. It will say "cable unplugged". If I switch to the second port, it will be good for a while, then the same thing. The only fix is to reboot. I am connected through a switch. I loaded the latest drivers (nVidia) from the monitor software. I found a different set on the NVidia web site and installed, but now it will not pick up DHCP. It will work if I hard code the IP. I read that it should be using Realtek drivers, not Nvidia. Please help!!! I opened a case with support but they have not answered yet.

That is a start on Specs. You can look at anyone's signatuires here to see what is most commonly looked for in specs. Your are missing the PSU specs.
However one of the first things to try is to go into Bios and set optimized defaults. Then you will need to make sure nothing else in Bios has changed as setting Optimized defaults usually changes things quite a bit.
Then make sure that your using the drivers that came with the board including the NVidia and Network drivers.
You may have to enter Device manager and remove the Network Driver and let it restart.
You did answer one question many folks would have with the specs you gave about memory. The memory you have listed should be fine.

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.

K8N Neo2 Platinum Beep code

Anyone know what all the beeps mean for a K8N Neo2 Platinum? Sometimes when I power on my system there is a long beep and beeps on and off. Anyone know what the error is exactly? I tihnk it is a VGA or RAM seating error but not sure as the manual doesn't say what the different types of beeps mean.

I had that same beep code when I first setup my new rig. had one long beep, pause, one long beep, pause (rinse, lather, repeat). Come to find out it was a RAM issue. Appearently the board has some freak quirk that it wont boot with 2 pieces of RAM the first time. After the first boot, I put in my second chip and no problem.

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.

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?
Specs:
AMD AM2 3800X2
MSI K9N Platinum (non-SLI)
Old Nvidia PCI graphics card (X1800XT is not working)
Western Digital IDE 80 gig hard drive
Generic DVD burner
XCLIO 450 watt power supply

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 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.

amd athlon x2 3800+ am2
msi k9n platinum ver1.0
ocz ddr2 800 platinum * 2
psu thermaltake TR2-550PP
gainward 7600GS
wdc 250gb ks sata2
nec 3550A dvd-r
floppy
hec-6ar6 case
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: 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 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 Digital Coaxial Out

I am having an extreme amount of trouble with my K9N Platinum trying to get the SPDIF Digital Coaxial Out to work. In the Realtek HD Audio Manager the slider for SPDIF is not there; I'm not even able to adjust it. In the regular windows volume manager the slider is simply greyed out and immovable.
I have upgraded to what I believe are the latest Realtek HD drivers; directly from MSI's website as well as from the MSI Live Monitor.
I've poured over the options in the Realtek HD Audio Manager but I can't seem to find any way to fix this issue, as well as googled like crazy and searched this forum. I apologize if this is a duplicate topic; I did do a search and didn't find another one with a solution.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Is it the realtek hd audio manager you are talking about?
If it is: When i boot my computer as usual and start realtek manager.. You usually see which outputs are in use in the top menu, I dont see the digital output (spdif optical) here, even when its connected. So i guess it cant be muted since the sound device is not recognized by my Operating System (Vista) and/or my motherboard (k9n nforce570 sli platinum)
When i plug a cable in the line-in output, the realtek manager responds and ads both the line-in button and the spidf (digital output) button in the top menu.
Yes, on my PC, with Windows XP (you're using Vista, things might be considerably different, I don't know), the Realtek HD Audio Manager under the Audio I/O tab has a setting for "DIGITAL": if you click on the little wrench icon next to it, you can select the Sampling Rate (from 44 to 192 kHz) and if you want to enable or not the SPDIF output. When enabled, the SPDIF port will output whatever sound you're playing, in its original format: if you play an MP3, it will be stereo, if you play a DVD with a Dolby AC3 5.1 audio stream (and you enable the SPDIF pass-through in your DVD software, like Nero Showtime), then it will be 5.1.
Based on my (little) experience, most games do NOT support a digital 5.1 output, so - even if you enable the "surround sound" in their settings - you will get only stereo sound from the SPDIF (you will get surround if you plug a 5.1 speaker system in the front/rear/center audio jacks on the MB). I read there are soundcards that can do digital 5.1 encoding on the fly, but that's a whole different story.
Hope this helps...

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)
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=99924.0
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 vcore setting

i have the K9N Platinum MB, with an AMD 4200 X2 cpu, i have tried to overclock
this chip and have been successful to 11x240 settings with vcore 1.45V, if i try to go
any higher the system just shuts down,what is the max vcore(set in "cell menu") that
i can go with this cpu/MB combo, i have the newest bios, v1.60...?
also anytime i try to manually set the memory timings, the board won't boot...i have OCZ PC2 5400 DDR2 memory
the Gold edition with heat spreaders...can you make some suggestions for setting the timings?
thanks
