K9N SLI Platinum reboots while playing games

Hello,
System config
Athlon 64 3800+ x2
K9N SLI Platinum (Bios version 1.1)
2 * 1024 ocz 6400 gold memory
80 gig sata 1 drive
nec dual layer burner
Xfx 7600 gt xxx
floppy
PSU Coolmax AP-450 (CX-400)
The system is stable when I browse email and such, but as soon as I play games I'm getting reboots. Blue screen of death a couple times. I bought a couple more fans for my case (waiting to see if it makes a difference when it arrives). It may be getting to hot. I have been reading and perhaps the PSU is not good enough or compatible. I haven't checked the memory yet, But i would think that it would reboot consistantly not just in games if that were a problem. Does anyone have a solution for me?
Thanks,
LTBob

I had the same problems as you have.
The fix I did was, downloaded the drivers for AMD dual core processors from the AMD website.
Make sure you have your RAM set to 2.1V.
It's nothing to do with the PSU.
"It's nothing to do with the PSU."
cant agree, there is alot of issues with the same symptoms. it may crap or overload PSU also.

  • IOS 8.02 update cause iPad Air to auto reboot while playing games and always 'No Sim installed' appears

    I have updated my iPad 3 and iPad air to the latest update iOS 8.02 sinice a week ago. The iPad 3 is okay while the ipad air is having problems. Firstly it randomly auto reboots and apps auto shuts as well. Secondly the 'No Sim installed' always appears while using the iPad. Anyone having the same problem please advise how to solve these problems. Thanks.

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger.  Do NOT use a computer's USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know.  If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
    Also, according to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

  • K9N SLI PLATINUM low data transfer rate

    Hi, (sorry for my pour english) I had to go back to Winxp native SATA/IDE drivers and my pc crash & BSOD problem it's gone! :D (BSOD when i install some programs or some games, listening music and moving data at the same time, etc.) now i'm available to execute multitasks without any troubles. But now the transference it's quite poor  , I think this is an easy and temporary solution for this big problem.
    I bought my PC on 2006 and the Windows XP drivers are from 2001, aren't new Nvidia/MSI drivers to fix this annoying problem?
    Thanks.

    I've got nearly the same problem, but a little worse. My data transfer rate seems very slow for a 100mb network and if I start copying files over the network, after only a couple of megs I lose connectivity to the network completely! I've removed the network cable and windows notices this, and when I put it back in windows also notices the change, but the green and orange lights on the port itself stay on solid. If I reboot windows everything comes back. I don't have problems browsing the web, seems to only happen when the ethernat port is running close to full load (for the connection speed of 100mb as apposed to 1gb).
    Anyone else seen this? I'm on the latest drivers, the latest bios and I've tried disabling on of the network ports in the bios but his didn't work.

  • K9N SLI Platinum - RAID 0 problems

    Hi everyone,
    I've just assembled a new pc with a K9N SLI Platinum (PCB Ver: 1.1; BIOS Ver: 1.3), 1GB (2x512MB DIMM1 & 3) Kingston KVR667, 2 Maxtor SATA-II disks, GF 7300GS with 256MB DDR2.
    I'm able to install windows with one disk but can't do it with both disks setup as raid 0.
    I've tried both Sata Raid Driver from cd and from MSI website.
    With the driver from the cd windows setup finds the raid and starts installation, but freezes somewhere (totally random) without finishing.
    With the driver downloaded from the website windows setup can't find the raid.
    Any hints?
    Thanks

    I tried once again to install windows and this time setup finished successfully and the computer boots from the raid. So my first question: what is the relation between the bootable option at the raid setup and the fact that the system booted without it?
    I doubt that the removal of the floppy from the bootable devices list has anything to do with the successful install...
    Well if it is grayed out in the RAID setup is because it is already Bootable, as for the removal of the floppy from the bootable devices, there are things that only the gods of the computers know...
    Quote from: manuelmont on 25-September-06, 07:13:09
    Everything seemed to work ok but the computer started to freeze once again during installation of other software which made the system unstable.
    Then I replace the graphics card with an ATI X300 (just for testing) and the system became stable. I installed software, played some games without problems. As the GF 7300GS I removed works on another pc this seems to be some compatibility problem between the MB and the GF (turbocache?).
    I used Sisoft Sandra 2007 Lite to test/benchmark the system. All the tests were almost normal (except memory - benchmark showed values a bit lower than I expected!) but I could not run Physical Disks Benchmark module neither Physical Disks Hardware module (but could benchmark the file system). What does this mean?
    The disks are in fact DiamonMax 17 (6G160E0) but I'll try another brand as well, these are the only disks. On the IDE channel I only have one dvd recorder.
    Your PSU has way to low amperage for that system, the test is the change you made from a superior GFX to a lower end one, the NX7300GS eats alot of amps in comparison to the X300, and it does not have nothing to do with the TurboCache feature.
    As for Sisoft Sandra I don't use that "I'm a potty mouth" (pardon my french ) I use Lavalys Everest or for disks HDtach, and others.
    You could not test the physical disks because they are in RAID mode, but you can test or benchmark the logical disks because they are the partitions you created in the physical disks and are divided by the 2 disks, half in one half in the other...
    I hope this will shed some light into the questions...
    Be well....

  • K9N SLI Platinum MS7250 ver1.1 ... need help with Windows 7 install

    Hello,
    Having an intermittant issue with Windows 7 32bit.  During startup Windows 7 gets stuck at the logo screen.  Not always though.  Every 7-8th reboot it will make it past and go all the way into Windows 7.  I've tried all sorts of combinations of "ebabling/disabling".  This system ran XP professional for 3 years without any issues.  Currently, I have the most luck by connecting the keyboard and mouse to PS2 and leaving USB disabled.  This may not be the issue though.  Once I got Win7 to boot I performed driver updates etc. 
    If someone has suggestions please let me know.  I'm about to try the USB bios flash but have never done it before. 
    Thank you,
    BK

    Hi Guys,
    Thank you for the replies. 
    -  Yes it is a fresh install of Windows7 on a drive that originally had XP Pro
    -  If I boot into safe mode it does go into Win7 most of the time. 
    -  I posted on the MSI tech support page (http://support.msi.com/index.php) and the response was to upgrade the BIOS.  What do you think?
    -  I've been using this graphics card for three years and is nowhere near as powerful as what's out there now.  In fact all of the components are three years old except the RAM
    -  I tried the old RAM (2GB Corsair) and it also had the same issue.  Even at default RAM settings or otherwise.  Now I'm back to the 4GB Patriot Vipers.
    -  What is this capacitor problem people are referring to?  Is it a problem specifically on this model board? 
    Thank you..

  • IPad mini. Kid downloaded new game. While playing game screen locked up. Can not close or shut off.

    iPad mini. Kid downloaded new game. While playing game the screen locked up. I can't exit out or shut off. What do I do?

    If you ahven't already done so then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • What would cause the original I Pad shut itself off while playing games or online? it is not a battery issue or time issue. When I turn it back on it goes to were I was  when I was online ,but have to start games over.

    What would cause the original I Pad shut itself off while playing games or online? it is not a battery issue or time issue. When I turn it back on it goes to were I was  when I was online ,but have to start games over.

    The original iPad has a slow processor and only 256 MB of memory so it often runs into low-memory failures.
    Double click the home button and dismiss all of the recents - I do that weekly.
    Then reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider - I also do that weekly.
    Both seem to help to reduce the low-memory faults that occur.

  • MSI K9N SLI Platinum - SATA not hot-swappable?

    can i get a confirmation that K9N SLI Platinum motherboard does NOT support hot-swapping the SATA drives. I switched to this board for the AM2 socket and now i am not seeing the removable drive bays as hot-swappable (ie. no green arrow down by the clock). maybe i am missing a bios setting?

    I check two machines today and one is just fine using the removable trays and any drives we put in there show up in the 'safely remove hardware' tool. the other machines does NOT detect any drives inserted while the machine is powered on and something else - under the 'policies' tab the top two choices ('optimize for quick removal' instead of 'optimize for performance') are greyed out but there is an option below them that i can check and uncheck (i cannot remember the exact title of this option).
    I assume you are trying the same drives when you swap the removable trays between the two machines.  Some drives have a jumper that has to be removed to enable SATA II operation, so if they aren't the same physical drives you might want to check that.
    I think the stuff below the greyed out area in your 'Policies' tab is a check box that enables/disables write caching.  You might want to try checking/unchecking that.
    Also, you should check out the IDE/ATA Controller selection in the Device Manager.  Take a look at each instance of controller that shows up there.  SATA controllers actually a primary and secondary channel and each channel has a master and a slave drive, just like old IDE controllers.  Look at each tab on both machines and make sure all of the drive's features are set identically on these tabs.  Sometimes Windows can try to outsmart you. For example, I have an SATA II Maxtor drive that has its transfer mode downgraded to SATA I by Windows (there is a little yellow triangle with a '!' in the middle of the lower part of the panel).  The help balloon for this arrtibutes it to 'excessive transfer errors.'  I haven't tried to chase that one down yet, however.
    As far as setting the machines up the same way, sometimes the sequence of driver installations can have an effect.  For example, a RAID driver installed during Windows setup using the 'F6 - install other driver' option can behave differently from one installed with the Device Manager 'Update Driver' function. 
    Sorry I can't be of more help here. 
    Maybe someone else in this forum is a bit more knowledgable on the subject.

  • Vista Beta 2 (v5472) + K9N SLI Platinum

    Has anyone managed to get Vista installed from scratch with the "K9N SLI Platinum"?
    I tried, 32bit and 64bit. both failed.

    I got Vista Beta 2 32-bit installed on K9N Ultra + 4200+ X2, but because of the poweroff-issues of K9N-series, Vista was really unstable. Well, my mobo is RMA'd now, so let's see how's gonna work with the new revision.

  • HT1688 My iPhone 4s battery got drained while playing games, and now it won't open even if im charging. what can i do?.

    My phone's battery got drained while playing games and now it wont open if i connect it to my charger,?.what can i do? my phone was given to me as a gift from the a relative in the US and im from the Philippines. How can i fix it? Do i need to bring it to any apple center to have it replaced? or is there a quick fix to this problem?...

    Keep iPhone on Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can sometimes take about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons while on charger.

  • S890 screen turns off while playing games

    I bought this phone a week ago.Everything about this phone is awesom except one thing. The screen turns off while playing games automatically,which is really annoying. Is there any fix for this??

    Graphics card springs to mind;
    also, in your game settings, in either options or video settings (or similar). Are the settings correct for your card. I know on a low end PC, "full hardware acceleration" can cause crashing.
    I'd still think, it's more a graphics related problem. If you have a big flat screen mintor (e.g 24,27 or even 30") then that, in it's own right needs a good card. Add the game to it and you may have problems. I do take it you have compared the specs with what's required on the box (of the game) and "about this mac/"more info"). All the best.

  • FF 3.6.6: No .sol-files created while playing games on Kongregate?

    Ever since the update to 3.6.6 FF has not been creating any .sol-files (or the accompanying folders) for saving progress while playing games on the site Kongregate.
    I have checked the Global Storage Settings panel of Flash and they are as they should be.
    I have tried deleting and re-installing both flash and FF without result.
    .sol-files are being created while using IE.
    I'm using fully updated XP.
    I'd appreciate any help, TIA

    That indeed might be the problem!
    The slider is mysteriously on the none-setting at that particular tab!? (any guess as to why? I certainly haven't touched it!)
    I have tried putting it on unlimited, but it keeps returning to the none-setting after I switched tabs. This only happens on that particular tab, changes I make on other tabs are saved normally.
    Any suggestions on fixing this?
