K9N2 Sli Plat - HDD detection problem

[Split off from https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127332.0, please don't hijack other topics! - Stu]
You are not alone.....  I'm having simular issues
I flashed my bios hoping to fix the HD detection for installing windows.
now I get nothing detected in the bios.  as SATA drives.  IDE channels detect.
Ihave flashed the bios both ways USB and CD bootable image.
I get a NVIDIA HDCP: ROM HOLE 2                     PROTECTED!
During the flash.  Is that supposed to happen?  everything else looks good during the flash.  However now I can't even get drivers to see the SATA drives.  I've tried 2 different makers.
BIOS is set to IDE on the SATA.
Note Same MB as original thread starter. 8GB OCZ memory, hitachi 1TB HD, 160 GB Maxtor HD.

  • K9N2 SLI Plat AM Bios

    I think I'm having a problem with the BIOS settings.  When I plug two DVD burners into SATA ports 5 & 6 they are not seen by the OS.  Is there a BIOS setting I need to change to fix this?

    So I enabled AHCI mode made a registry change to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci was set to 0.  set BIOS to AHCI and rebooted twice I move my two CDs to to sata 3 4.  I connected my two secondary hard drives to on SATA 5 & 6.  Know I cannot see my two hard drives.  You saying SATA 5&6 are useless unless your are running RAID drives?

  • K9N2 SLI Plat. showing 2 HD Audio's in device manager

    quick basic system setup.
    MSI K9N2 SLI Plat

    2 x 1gb OCZ Platinum DDR2-800
    EVGA 9800GT
    320gb WD SATA 3.0
    500w PC Power&Cooling
    Samsung IDE DVD-R/W
    22" Acer LCD
    Installed Windows MCE 2005 w/SP3 and everything up to date driver wise. Problem is HD Audio device is showing up twice in device manager. One shows installed, one shows that no drivers are loaded. I have uninstalled the device and uninstalled the drivers, and reloaded everything. Used drivers from CD and from download, but not luck. Any ideas on what could cause 2 of the same audio devices to show up and only one to actually load, besides a general hardware failure on the motherboard?

    That would make sense, if either the 9800GT or the K9N2 had and HDMI port. Sorry guys that's a no go. This is the first time I have ever run into this issue. 2 of the same audio devices showing up in device manager. One has drivers and loads, other shows unknown HD audio device and will not install drivers at all....

  • K9N2 SLI Plat and 630 Propus

    My wife just bought the 630 for me (early Christmas) and I was wondering if anyone has tried it in the K9N2 SLI Plat.  I see the 600e and the 605e, but not the 620 or 630.  Do I now need to get another mobo?  Any thoughts?  Thanks for the help.

    Re seat the CPU and make sure its properly installed, also remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< then retry

    The green light is on when i turn the computer (which is right)
    I installed DualCoreCenter From MSI and it causes bsod.
    The computer was working fine until I ran Prime95. It shutdown. And than it shutdown twice a starting windows screen. It worked fine after a while, but it shutdown again now. I dont wonna turn it on again.

    Recently installed a 1090T on N9N2 Diamond and did testing on K9N2 SLI Platinum.  All good after I flashed to 2.8 (the correct BIOS for that CPU).  I Had the same problem with CPU sticking to heatsink, It was not caused by heat, I suspect the socket is weak.  I just carefully pried it off.
    Did I miss something?  How did everyone jump on the CPU cooler without knowing what sort of case it's installed in/# of fans/what size fans, etc...?
    did you have the same problem with different bios?

  • K9N2 SLI Plat Overheating

    First, I consider myself a novice when it comes to inner workings (BIOS, voltages and such), so I probably should not have tried to build a box from a barebones kit.  Now that I am in that situation - problems are arising!
    my specs:
    K9n2 SLI Platinum nForce 750a
    BIOS v 3.4
    AMD Phenom X4 9500 4M 95W Socket AM2 CPU (CP1-AM2-9500 )
    Ultra LSP550 550w Power Supply
    HITACHI 1TB SERIAL ATA HD 7200/16MB/SATA-3G
    Ultra XBlaster Mid-Tower Case Black
    OCZ Blade PC6400 800MHz 8GB DDR2
    Vista Home 64-bit
    No floppy drive
    EVGA GeForce 9400 GT 1GB PCIe - not installed yet
    Everything was going great for about a week, but earlier today I installed the newer NVIDIA drivers v15.25 (I believe).  Everything worked normal for several hours, but then I noticed that the CPU temps were skyrocketing from 37C to nearly 80C in just a few short minutes.  I opened the case and ensured that the heatsink and fan were working properly, and all looked good.  I went into the BIOS settings and looked through the hardware monitor and noticed that the temps were still rapidly rising and that the voltage was unstable bouncing around 1.6 to 1.7.  I think that is the problem and the CPU fan is running about 1600 RPM, which may be normal, not sure.  I looked at the Cell Menu and it said the CPU voltage was on auto. 
    So far I tried to Load Optimal Settings and Load Fail Safe Settings, both to no avail - temps are still skyrocketing within a matter of minutes.  Only other change I made this week was buying a new heatsink and fan ('up'grade from the one that came with the CPU - to a Thermaltake TR2-R1.  Again, the heatsink has been installed for several days, and have had no problems with overheating until tonight.  Oh, yeah, and I do have 2 120mm fans, one front and one rear and the MB temp has been pretty steady at about 24 to 28 C.
    Is there any hope?

    Yeah, I definitely took the plastic off, and the heatsink material was already applied.  I suppose I put it on wrong, but there seems to really only be one way to put it on - over the clips and tighten...
    Interstingly, after letting it sit overnight and rebooting this morning - it is holding steady again at around 38C (in fact, I'm using it now).  The voltage at boot up read 1.55 instead of auto today, so I quickly adjusted it down to 1.3 to see if I could keep it from going out of control again -so far, so good.  It is just a mystery as to why it (bios) is changing so frequently without me making any adjustments to it.  I've read here and other places that there are possibly issues with this board and earlier bios versions.  It came with v3.4, and I have never tried to flash to anything else.  Should I try and re-install the heatsink?  or does it sound more like a bios problem?

  • K9N2 SLI Platinum Install,2 Problems, Resolved..

    I upgraded to a K9N2 SLI Platinum With 9550 Quad Core.
    I used a Copy of WinXp from a Thunderbird CPU System.
    1. Boot failure at second test ( memory ) Green light flashing. I thought it was a memory failure.
     Read install instructions," need spacers" on mounting screws ( ?, I thought board needed to be grounded to case).
     Installed non conductive spacers ( top $ Bottom ).   Fixed Boot problem....
        Board Booted to system Install.
    2. Next , repair WinXp with Install CD, (repair option after Install selected )
        system Repair completed " Almost" bombed out at " lan,
       Could not call MS on LAN, no LAN installed on repair process,
       evidently MSI Lan not in MS Hardware table....
       Installed PCI Lan, MS recognized LAN,  talked to mother and completed  repair of WINXP.
       Cleaned up system with " CCleaner exe "

    You don't choose Repair actually. You let Windows find the previous installation. It will ask you there for a repair /rhyme!/. Here is a description:
    Boot the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order in the system BIOS so the CD boots before the hard drive. Check your system documentation for steps to access the BIOS and change the boot order.
    When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, you will see the options below   
    This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft

       To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.
    Press Enter to start the Windows Setup.  do not choose "To repair a Windows XP installation using the Recovery Console, press  R", (you Do Not want to load Recovery Console). I repeat, do not choose "To repair a Windows XP installation using the Recovery Console, press  R". 
    Accept the License Agreement and Windows will search for existing Windows installations.
    Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press R to start the repair.
    Setup will copy the necessary files to the hard drive and reboot.  Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue as if it were doing a clean install, but your applications and settings will remain intact.

  • K9N2 SLI Plat MS7374 Plat - Setup Raid 1 on SATA 5 & 6 Ports

    Hello again,
    It has been quite some since I was on the board, but you really helped me out last time. 
    I have 2 Seagate 500GB 2.5" drives I would like to setup a Raid 1 configuration on SATA 5 & 6.  Currently one is my boot drive (SATA 1) and the other drive (SATA 2) has not been partitioned or formated.  I say this because, Diskpart can see both drives but Disk Manager cannot see the new drive on SATA 2.  I am guessing I will have to partition it and make it a primary & active partition then NTFS format the second drive.
    I am not understanding the manual that came with my board.  I have never set up a raid configuration before.  Can I get a blow by blow or pointed to a good manual on how to get this done?  At what point do I move the drives to the SATA 5 & 6 ports? 
    Thanks so much!

  • MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum nForce 750a Problem

    I bought this barebone kit a couple days ago http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4692741&CatId=3508 and I had no troubles, I installed the 4GB Sli-READY 2GB RAM and thought that it wouldn't hurt to have another 4GB. So I bought the same RAM, and installed it, I started to get BSOD when I start programs, or games like "Lineage 2". I tried changing the voltage on DRAM but l can't change it to 1.8v, or 2.1v (2.1v says that the pc might be unstable) so l set it to auto. l also made it [AUTO] for SLI-READY DRAM. l still get BSOD.
    Help would be greatly appreciated, the specs on the computer are:

  • K9N2 SLI PLAT 1 vid card for PhysX only make both cards run at 8x?

    Hi all. I'm on the fence here as to what to buy. My current setup is (hopefully) displayed
    in my signature.
    Here is my concern as copied from the K9N2 Sli Platinum Manual:
    "• 1 mazarine PCI Express x16 slot with x16 operation (PCI Express Bus SPEC V2.0 compliant)
    • 1 light-blue PCI Express x16 slot with x8 operation (PCI Express Bus SPEC V2.0 compliant)
    • When 2 PCI Express x16 slots are all installed, the PCIE x 16 lanes will auto arrange form x16/ x0 to x8/ x8. Do not use the light-blue slot when only one PCI Express x16 card is installed."
    Is this normal for most SLI mainboards? I was thinking of upgrading in one of two ways:
    1) Just purchase a 9600GT for PhysX only and pop it in the other PCIE 16x slot
                              OR
    2) Go all out and buy another GTX 260 Core216 SC card, new Power Supply, and new PCIE Sound Card
       and SLI the 2 cards together.
    With option 1, will my GTX 260 get slowed to 8x ?? That may defeat my whole purpose for getting
    another vid card and dedicate it for PhysX; would it slow the main card down enough to impact it greatly?
    With Option 2, the reason for a new sound card is a second "2 slot" vid card means I'll only be able to use
    one of the 2 PCI slots. Currently, I have a Fax Modem and a SB Audigy SE in them.
    I use the modem on a regular basis to send/receive faxes, so I will have to replace the sound card.
    Anybody know if a Creative Labs SB X-FI Titanium PCIe can fit in the 1x slot between 2 SLI'd Vid cards?
    The 1x PCIE slot on this board is between the 2 16x slots, not the ideal spot I fear.
    If it won't fit between, my ONLY other choice would be to use the on board sound, which I am
    not fond of doing.
    My whole intention here is to play Cryostasis better than it does now, AND hopefully be ready
    for any newer games that incorporate PhysX. As it is now, I got Cryostasis free when I bought
    my new vid card, nice of eVGA to do that
    If I do this, I want it to be pretty future proof:
    I don't want to make EITHER investment solely for one game only. I'd prefer to
    go with option 2, but I REALLY don't want to find out AFTER I buy everything that
    I can't fit the new sound card between the 2 SLI'd cards :(
    Any help on this will be GREATLY appreciated,
    thank you.

  • MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum - A few problems...

    Realtek HD Audio:
    -While the driver does work, it doesn't work well with the Microsoft UAA HD Audio Driver (Had to disable then re-enable this driver to get sound). Device Manager also shows an HD Audio Driver that wasn't installed properly and any attempt to correct it fails. (Windows XP Professional SP3).
    -In the Windows 7 Beta the HD Driver works, but has the same failure with the Microsoft UAA HD Audio Driver.
    Dual-Core Center:
    -This utility worked for about a week then froze my system today with a SYS FAN1 Alarm; I don't have a fan installed on SYS FAN1 and had to perform a hard reset and terminate the startup process and uninstall the software.
    1066+
    -How I overcame the 800MHz / 1066MHz issue was in the DRAM menu select 1:2.66 and it showed correctly at boot.
    Systems specs are in my signature, the Ultra 600W Energy Efficient PSU provides plenty of power for this non-sli setup.

    Quote from: midnightwolf76 on 19-February-09, 11:02:05
    The 1066+ Post was informational for anyone who might be having the 800MHz DRAM problem that initially had, and I already uninstalled The Dual-Core Center, but would like to know of any other software that will give me CPU Temp as this one has already proved bugged.

    If you mean that its 800 by default, yes that's normal you have to apply 1:2.66 to run at correct speed.

  • P35 Platimum Combo . hdd detection problem

    i have P35 Platinum Combo + Core2Duo E6550 , on booting the screens which pass quickly in which one mentions HDD not detected even though hdd in shown in BIO and has XP OS.

    Your Board has to chipsets with integrated controllers: Intel ICH9R and Marvell 88SE6111 chipset.  Your HDD is probably connected to the primary intel controller.  The Marvell controller, which hosts an additional SATA port and the board's only IDE port, performs a seperate scan for attached devices during POST.  If you have no drives connected to one of the Marvell ports it will not detect any and consequently give you a status message telling you that nothing was detected.
    You can turn off the Marvell Controller in BIOS if you don't need it.

  • P965 neo-f hdd detection problem

    Hello, I'm facing a very strange problem. I'm using a p965 neo-f board, with a dual pentium 2.80GHz, a 250gb sata wd disk, 2x512mb corsair ram, ati radeon x1300, psu tagan 480w, ide dvdrw bios w7235ims v1.5. I build the system myself and installed windows xp x64 pro. Everything went ok and the system was stable. Some day there was a current breakdown and when i powered on the pc during the post it hanged at ide detecting disks. I've entered bios setup, save and exit rebooted and went back to windows. At the past 2 years i suffered a couple current breakdowns leading to the above problem that i'm solving it as i said before. I must say that the computer belongs to my sister and i'm her technician . During last week my sister decided to move the pc to another room. They connected the computer, powered it on and the same thing. During post it hangs on detecting disks. I took the computer at home changed the sata to the jmicron slot, and booted to windows. The problem is that the ethernet controller doesn't work. So i reinstalled all the mobo drivers, no luck. I did a bios update to version 1.90. The result was with sata connected to the jmicron, the ethernet controller is not working. I changed the sata to sata 6 and everything worked ok. Today I've opened the pc again to check it out and the same thing, post hangs at ide detection. I don't know what to do anymore. maybe the intel controller is messing up with the jmicron? or the bios is not suitable? should i downgrade to other bios versions? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks for the reply, I thought about those things myself and I'll try them. Here is another weird one. Connecting the hard drive to sata2 slot everything worked well for a day.
    Today I powered the pc in the morning and it recognized the disk. I Did some work and I checked the shutdown and the rebooting. Everything looked as It should be. So  I went to the beach, and when I came back, I started the pc--->> the same thing happened!!!
    Should I try another bios version? or It is just a waste of time?

  • K9N2 SLI Plat CPU support

    I have been trying to access the cpu support list and it keeps timing out.  Curious if anyone else is having problems.  Is this info available any where else?  Thanks.

    OK someone got it to work, but had to adjust the VCORE before using it, I consider something official when I don't have to do that, there are a lot of users out there that don't overclock, I'm one of them, I know how and I've overclocked this 7750 to 3.4GHz stable with stock cooling, but I'm happy with 2.7GHz stock for now. I'll be upgrading to the the 980a - G65 soon anyway, not going to blow money on a 955 now, will wait til both the board and CPU come down in price.

    So I enabled AHCI mode made a registry change to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci was set to 0.  set BIOS to AHCI and rebooted twice I move my two CDs to to sata 3 4.  I connected my two secondary hard drives to on SATA 5 & 6.  Know I cannot see my two hard drives.  You saying SATA 5&6 are useless unless your are running RAID drives?
