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 - Wrong CPU Temperature in BIOS

    Hi, I have a K9N Platinum (7250-020) with the latest 1.3 BIOS and an AMD X2 3800+. The CPU Temperature in the BIOS has a negative sign in front of it, and it seems to always report -48*C. I tried the latest nVidia nTune and it was reporting the CPU temperature to be 208*C, which is absolutely impossible...
    Does anyone have the same problem? I searched around and it seems I'm not the only one, but I still cannot understand if it affects only some K9N Platinums or all...
    Thanks.

    I assume you are talking about checking voltages as reported by the BIOS in the HW Monitor page, not physically checking them with a multimeter, correct?
    I'll take a look at the numbers in the BIOS, but last time I checked they were ok.
    As for raising the issue with MSI, eventually I will, even if they ask you soooooo many questions (for good reasons, I know...) that it would take me half an hour to fill that form... 
    I've checked with both and software is a little out from what a multimeter state's. Only check with a multimeter if your happy to do so. http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=137886 offer good advise if using a multimeter .....
    The only issue I see is the AUX connector for 3.3v with ATX2.0 spec (Modular cables etc)

  • 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 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)
    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 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
    LITE-ON DVD-ROM drive
    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 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

  • P6N Sli Platinum front audio panel and CPU temp voltage issues

    Hi All,
    I got my P6N Sli Platinum yesterday, build up my computer without any major issues. However I have noticed that my audio front panel does not work. It could not detect my microphone when i plug it into front auido panel, it works fine for the rear auido panel though.
    Another issues is I highly doubt the accuracy of CPU temp sensor. Msi 's software monitor reports my CPU temp is around 19-20 degree, I know that's too good to be true even I am using a water cooling system. Btw my cpu is E6600. Anyone else has the similar issues?
    The third, I notice my CPU voltage is bouncing between 1.1 to 1.24 in CPU-z. And the multiplier is changing from 6 to 9, frequency is changing from 1.6g to 2.4g. I only see this in CPU-z.  Msi 's own software reports CPU running at 2.4g though. Is this cpuz issue or something else?
    Finally, any tips to max the overclock potential of this board? I have overclocked to 3.1g but there are some crashes. Going higher the board just won't boot up. I read a review on anandtech.com says 1.22 bios is good for oc. Where can i download that? I only found 1.1 bios on official site.
    Any reply will be appreciated.
    Cheers

    C2D-CPUs have a digital internal sensor to monitor CPU Core temperatures.  Have a look at those with Core Temp ( http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/ ).  This Tool reads the temperature data directly from the register of your CPU. There is nothing wrong with the sensor.  It is rather the MSI tool that does not read the data it provides correctly.

    There is no issue.  What CPU-Z allows you to see there is the C1E-feature of your CPU at work.  When there is nothing to do your processor will automatically reduce Core Voltages and frequency to save power and keep temperatures down.  As soon as the work load increases the multiplier is set back to x9 and core voltages increase dynamically.  It is meant to be a good thing.
    I have overclocked my system a little and I like that the C1E feature is still working at this speed setting CPU frequency to 2GHz and core voltage to 1.144v when my system is idle. 
    If you have problems with this feature you can turn it off in BIOS. The option is labeled as "C1E Support" and might be hidden somewhere.  You may be able to hit "F4" to unhide it. 
    The MSI utilities are not the best tools to monitor your system.  CPU-Z, Core Temp, Everest, Speedfan, Memset, Rightmark Memory Analyzer for example do a far better job.

  • Msi a55 e33 + r7 260x Graphics problem + amd cpu temps?

    Hello, i have some problems with my new build
    My system is,

    Gpu: sapphire r7 260x

    1) The problem is like this, whenever i don't do anything on my pc the monitor goes black and the pc crashes sound stucks some times and i have to reboot... tried several gpu drivers some crashes right away and some are like this.. is this a gpu issue ? Anyone with same experience ?
    2) Second problem my cpu temperature is inaccurate and the only program that display a temp is cpuid hwm, cpu idles at 40-50c and goes as far as 80c based on the program... that was with stock cooler, upgraded cooler with an alpenfohn sella (deepcool rebrand) and the problem persists, temps were similar even with older bios version and the same older version board... is this a cpu problem ?
    ps. Prime 95 for 4 hours hwm indicates 80c touched cooler with bare hand multiple times during this period not even near this temp even at the lower end of the cooler ...
    thanks 4 any suggestions

    Hi,
    my idea is that your power supply is not efficient enough for r260x.
    Try without the graphics card.
    About the CPU temps, try to reapply the thermal paste. (when you've exchanged the cooler, have you cleaned the CPU?)
    It also might be the problem with the software (or BIOS). Spend couple of $ and buy an external CPU temperature checking tool (don't know proper name of it).
    Power supply is enough for the gpu probably driver issues as other users have the exact same problem with the same card, cpu temps are definitely mobo/bios or cpu related yes yes i cleaned the cpu i cleaned everything and reapplied ic diamond .. temps are the same with stock cooler and aftermarket cooler can't be coincidence + no program indicates temps other than hwm
    Take notice i had 2 msi a55e33 one with bios 11.1 and another one which came with 11.4 from factory
    Conclusion ? or the cpu is broken or the mobo indicates wrong temperatures

  • 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.

    yep that i have asked, well there is nothing to worry about voltage applied manually matched with your default CPU vcore.

  • K9n2 bios reading my cpu temps all wrong

    K9n2 bios reading my cpu temps all wrong well actuly it not reading them at all my cpu AMD x2 5200 is said to be ideling at 26c but when i run a stress testor it stay at 26c so no change what so ever between load anf idle temps.
    my cou core temps are wrong any way and all wasy have been core 0 idle at -2c and core 1 -22c but they have goe up to core 1 26c and core 2 8c load so its obviously geting hotter but the motherboard isant repoting that it is :/ i have used manny difforent programs and all came back with 26-27c for the cpu no mater what i do i have bios 3.3.
    this never haped on my old ABIT kn9 sli it allways stated the corect cpu heat
    ohh and also speed fan carnt recogise the cpu it just says temp 1,2,3 for the motherboard where as befor it was cpu,core,chip and so on (that was with old board)
    any sugestions
    sorry for spelling im dyslexic

    well my cpu is back in my old motherboard with no problems at all no hard crashes and with the same ram timings the proper ram volts 2.1(msi board couldent handle 2.1v for ram) and the board only reports 26c no other temp used all temp programs and non of them changed when fully stresed only core temp showed any temp change but cart go buy that because my cores are so far off now on my old bard the temps go up and down like they should.
    i did clear the CMOS whith all unpluged
    all were at stock but ram voltage went to 1.8v so upped it to 2.1v (manual recomended) (wouldent start)
    at stock if i restarted pc for somthing like an update it wouldent post unless it was un pluged at pluged back in (at stock)
    and i have had no such problems with my old ASROCK board or my board im on now a ABIT kn9 570a sli
    ohh and the board came warped but the rear ports
    any way decided to go over to intel so got a EVGA board now and using a old p4 extream
    sorry to sound pissed of but 2 boards that were useless (each was from difforent Etailor)

  • NVidia's nForce drivers on P7N Platinum SLI

    I just wanted to query the forum and other nForce mobo users to see if they had any problems with using the nForce chipset drivers provided by nVidia on their website. I currently use the chipset drivers provided on the MSI website for the P7N Platinum mobo (750i northbridge, 430i southbridge) and they have outperformed all other drivers supplied by nVidia, including the latest 15.45 package (difference of 500-800 marks in PCMark05). Is this common on nForce boards? Are there certain parts of the nVidia drivers that don't work with the P7N, which would make MSI have to create its own driver package for the board? Anybody else have issues with nVidia's nForce drivers?

    I have a P6N, the slightly older brother of your board and yes I had troubles with one of their Nforce drivers in Vista.
    Like you im running the ones from MSI, somehow they do the trick much better.
    They are older, but who cares 
    Updated it once, but had to roll back due to all sorts of troubles, so íll stick with them.
    In Win 7, im running the 15.35, cause MSI has no drivers for Win 7 for my board and so far, no issues.

  • Axis 700 - CPU Temp and Sys Fan Control Problems

    I have just received an Axis 700 barebones. I ordered a 700 Lite with the fanless processor but I received a system with C7-D 1.5GHz processor and a system fan !. The heatsink looks the same as the Titan 700.
    The BIOS and PC Alert report a CPU temp of 64C immediately on start-up rising to 70C at idle and 100C under heavy load. System temp is steady at aound 30C. I've measured the heatsink temp with thermometer and it's about half the value reported by PC Alert.
    The system fan in the heatsink is running at full speed but BIOS and PC Alert reports 0 rpm. If I slow the fan almost to a stop with a piece of paper, I do get a fan speed of 1000-2000 rpm.
    It feels like a BIOS problem but the MSI website only has a single version, v1.00. My board has version v1.1B4.
    Does anybody have a similar experience?

    It could be something wrong with the CPU FAN, else if you think that its BIOS issue you can ask MSI here: http://ocss.msi.com.tw/

  • 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
    GPU: GIGABYTE GTX260 Super OC Edition
    PSU: CORSAIR HX520W

    I need atleast Bios 1.8 to get my MB to work with the new cpu.
    So now i just have to figure out why mem test wont run.

    Memtest do have some bugs. You can do test with Orthos instead:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103598.msg760534#msg760534
    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].
