KN8 Diamond plus 3 beeps at startup problem

When I connect a Lide 500f scanner I get an extra beep at startup connect a skype phone and I get another extra beep so alltogether PC now beeps 3 times at startup, there are Know problems running PC. Is this a known problem  that a new bios ( using 1.20 now) might sort and could it cause a problem long term.

Gigabyte Triton case Gz-xx1ca-sns

beeps are the ami bios beep codes and come from case speaker 3 beeps should indicate a memory problem as thats not the case I would guess at a bios update curing the problem just find it strange problem is uknown. Bios has been cleared and is 1.20

  • Looking to Purchase the KN8 Diamond Plus

    Wife is being generous this year and allowing me to have our tax refund to build a budge machine which will be mostly geared towards gaming. One question I have about the above Mobo is on newegg is states it has 2x16 PCIE whereas the MSI site lists it as 1x16. Which is correct? The system I have configured and am looking at purchasing is with the following hardware
    KN8 Diamond +
    AMD Athlon 62 3700+ SanDiego
    2 each MSI NX7800GT-VT2D256E cards
    OCZ Titanium 2GB (2x1GB) DDR SDRAM 400 3-2-3-5
    and finally 2 SATA 2 Drives. Right now looking at Seagate but am open to suggestions. The rest of the hardware will come from a previous machine. I have the Thermaltake 560 W w/Active PFC at present and can upgrade this if it needs to be.
    Thanks for any help/suggestions

    As for the PCI-E they are both 16X on the Plus, not that it matters since there is more bandwidth then any current Vid Card can use, so there is little difference in performance.
    No doubt.
    Single card AGP bus isn't that close to being saturated either. No matter what the card companies would have you think.
    Must not be that close - because speculation is high that Nvidia is supposedly going to release a 7800 series card for AGP sometime in February....
    Whether or not this actually happens & just how much they "cripple" it like the AGP version of the 6800GS remains to be seen.

  • KN8 Diamond Plus BIOS, here are my settings that seem stable, Ideas Anyone?

    So, has anyone figured out exactly what the following settings could/would/should be?   I know what they do, I just don't know why some of them should be soft settings or why some of them should ever change (NB-SB-CPU hypertransport for one)
    But nonetheless, here's what I set, and it seems to be stable.  When I got all these set, SLI seemed to settle down and start working consistently with the EVGA 7800GT CO N517 cards.   Before these settings, most games crashed with SLI on, ran fine with it off....who knows

    I agree with Apple Renegade on the Spread Spectrum settings. I remember reading that Spread Spectrum can conflict with wireless devices when you've got an 802.11 rig.

    Put all the "Spread spectrum" stuff on disabled. U don't need it. The option is there cus of possible interference with radio's and cell phones nearby.

    correct me if i'm wrong, but spread spectrum is disables itself if you increase the FSB. and, wireless devices work fine with the spread spectrum enabled (i got a 802.11g wi-fi card in the rig and i didn't have any problems with it)

  • K8N Diamond Plus BIOS problems

    Hi , just replaced my lanpartyUT sli-dr expert with K8N Diamond Plus mobo and having problems allready :D
    Just finished overclocking and now running at (250 x 11 x 800mhz x 1.300v+0.2v x dram/fsb 1/1 x 2.80v)
    Memory timings --> (3,7,14,3,2,8,2,2,1,3,200mhz(15.6us),1,16x,7x,7ns,5ns,0clk,DiCC:enabled,1T,8beats,reduce 00%... ...)
    The problem is "BOOT" related... System is PRIME95 stable , but still when trying to "restart windows" or "reset" the system wont BOOT !!?
    When i shutdown and then power up, the system boots perfectly !? What can cause this kind of behaviour :/
    I have OC:d quite many systems , but this is new even to me

    The windows core program shows htt link 1000mhz exact. Memory settings are all "manually" adjusted. Cpu vcore is 1.300 & extra voltage 0.2v=1.5v.
    All ECC options are disabled.Hdd:s adjusted manually. Should i rise the (NB) voltage , or does that have anything to do with this !? Maybe not at 250fsb only :D Cool & quiet is disabled naturally :/ All fan controls disabled , connected directly to psu. No D.O.T,s or anything automatic overclocking enabled. The (L cache & data cache scrubs) are strange to me, so those are disabled.After flashed bios , enabled boot sector protection. All the mobo power connectors are in use (24pin+8pin+4pin) Could it be that the memory modules should be used on ports 3 & 4 (now on 1 & 2) ??

  • K8N Diamond Plus, SLI and Creative X-Fi cards, anyone running similar?

    Hi there!
    I've got an ASUS A8N32-SLI board and my X-Fi card does not work with it, nor does it for many other people with similar setups.
    See here:
    http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=31426
    and here:
    http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=26289
    I get crackling and popping noises when running most games, e.g. BF2, Fear, FarCry.  When my 2x7800GTX's are in SLI mode it crackles loads, e.g. start far cry, click options, and listen.  When i disable SLI mode it crackles less, but it still crackles.  Many others encounter similar issues with their systems that are not identical but the symptoms are similar - high load = crackling/popping.
    My question is:
    Is anyone here sucessfully running any X-Fi card (music, fatality, elite pro, etc) with 2x video cards and NO crackling/popping in BF2, FEAR and FarCry?
    I've already had a replacement X-Fi card from creative which their tech guy said "should" fix it, lol, I'm wondering wether to replace my A8N32-SLI with an K8N Diamond Plus to fix the problem.  Besides, the MSI board has better PCI slot location and works with nTune too unlike the ASUS board.

    What's going on guys.
    I hate to see peep's having soooo many prob's and it sucks major BALLZ. The reason why I'm reposting is that I encountered a new issue. Not with my rig, but a friend's.
    We pretty much have the same setup. Differences are he's using 2GB of Corsair DDR400 (which is picking up as DDR333 as well), different branded video cards (I'm running two EVGA 7800GT's in SLi, he's running two BFG 7800GT's in SLi), XFi Platinum (me, Fatality Edition) and he's got a dedicated ITE RAID PCI card for his RAID from his previous rig. Configured his BIOS pretty much the same way I have it running (he wanted to Overclock his AMD x2 4400+ to 2.6 GHz), but when it came to installing Windows we kept getting BSOD's during installation. Looked over things numerous times and it didn't make sense. We resetted the BIOS to default settings and Windows went through without a hitch. We tried OC'ing it one more time and Windows was fine. But, when he installed and ran Quake 4, either Windows or the game would just lock up. He booted back into the BIOS and put the CPU back at stock frequency of 2.2 GHz. Game ran flawlessly afterwards. That points at the processor. The only differences were we both have different stock fans and his CPU was manufactured in July '05. Mine in Sept '05. His rig also reports the infamous "Phantom" PCI modem as well.
    Quake 4 is the only game he's got installed so far, but he reports everything is set to their highest qualities, including resolution. He said it runs great with no anomalies. He's going to install Dawn of War and Winter Assault later I know.
    Me? I haven't run into any issues with any games either, including F.E.A.R. as Hydrasworld asked. Both of our sound cards are in the Communication PCI Slot of the motherboard. My take on the OC issue is since we're using different proc's from different wafers, maybe my chip had revisions in September that the July proc my friend has didn't. Also, his heatsink has one less copper pipe I noticed. I'll still drop by for help. Good luck to you all and the only other thing I can add is try using the latest drivers for each piece of hardware you've got.
    LPB
    P.S. If you can and you purchased a retail version of the processor, on one of the sides of the carton insert for the processor, a date should be printed. Maybe that can explain some issues. Once more, my proc was manufactured September 15th, 2005.

  • Problem with 2gb Corsair ram on MSI Diamond plus mobo

    Ok first of all,the specs:
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ "Manchester"
    MSI MS-7100 K8N Diamond Plus, nVidia nForce4 SLI
    MSI GeForce NX7900GTX-T2D512E
    2048 MB DDR-RAM, 400MHz - (TWINX1024-3200C2PRO) Corsair TwinX CL2
    ( 4 pieces at 512mb ram)
    Plextor PX-755SA/T3K DualLayer / 16x DVD+/-RW
    HDD: Maxtor DiamondMax 10 (6V200E0) 200 GB SerialATA-II / 7200rpm
    running on win xp prof. sp2
    with newest version of mobo bios and drivers.
    The thing is, if i stick all the for ram pieces into the pc, it tends to crash down after a while or during the booting with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA as error msg.
    but if i take two pieces out and run all with 1 gb no problems occour. This is starting to really annoy me, so i'm hoping someone has the know how to help me out, i'd really appriciate any suggestions or or solutions, i just want to run my system with 2gb of ram

    run memtest on the system and tell us if you get any errors. it is probably a bad configuration of the memory timings and voltages. try to get the timings and voltages from the manufacturer's web page and then set up manually in bios.

  • NX8600GTS - Diamond Plus HDMI Problem

    I have this new video card and am trying to connect a single display via HDMI only.  I do not wish to use DVI.  I'm having difficulity in setting this up properly.  I need help.  So far the only way I can get this to work is using Dual Display option and use DVI and then send the signal to the HDMI interface; however it requires the DVI connecter be active.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I too am having this problem!!  This is a serious problem that someone from MSI needs to address.  I bought this card to use on my HTPC in my living room on my new Sony 52" LCD for gaming and HDTV.  If I plug just the HDMI in then then everything works up until the point Windows is supposed to start, and the sytem goes still and no display unless I plug something into the DVI port, even a VGA adapter to the TV's built in PC input, then suddently the system starts to boot.  I don't want to have to flip back and forth just to get windows to boot everytime!
    I did some searching on the internet and noticed other people have had this problem in the past with older model Nvidia cards like the 6800.  They appeared to have solved the problem by updating the Nvidia Bios with an ASUS version bios (even though their card was a different manufacturer).  I don't want to attempt this, but the moral of the story is it means the problem most likely is bios related, not driver.  Also the fact that Windows doesn't even boot yet, meaning the driver isn't even loaded yet, confirms that assumption.  What is probably happening is Windows is not detecting any displays so it doesn't boot.  I tried to update the MSI bios but apparently it's at the most current version, and there are no older versions listed for download I could try.
    Can someone from MSI please help us out here with this problem?  Most of the people who buy this HDMI card want to plug it into their HDTV as the only display.  If you can't do that with the HDMI it's worthless for that use!
    Quote from: jzizzi on 11-December-07, 05:44:02
    I have the same problem as the original poster with still no solution.
    Maybe I can clear it up a little as far as the specific problem.
    Hardware:
    MSI 8600GTS Diamond Plus (just one, no sli)
    MSI K9N SLI MB
    Corsair XMS2 Ram
    Sony Bravia 60" Projection TV
    If I plug the video card into a regular monitor via DVI, video card works great. Boots into Windows XP, everything is good.
    As soon as I disconnect the card from the monitor and move it to the tv and connect the tv via HDMI, system can boot into BIOS but after the summary screen, goes blank and Windows won't load. No HDD active LED, nothing.
    As soon as I plug in a monitor via DVI, boot into Windows, plug in HDMI, switch to Multiple monitors, I can then use the TV as a monitor.
    This wont due since I don't want to have a monitor sitting next to my TV all the time.
    I don't want to use another output method for my TV as, the way my sound system is connected, I don't want to have to select different sound sources everytime I switch input's on my tv (if that makes sense to anyone).
    I have done a MSILive BIOS update for the card but I'm not sure what it did since I didn't read the release notes.
    Drivers have no affect in this problem since it doesn't physically boot into Windows anyway.
    ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME!!!

  • 2 'problems' with the K8N Diamond Plus

    Hi there.
    I just bought a K8N Diamond Plus and I'm having some troubles installing my system in conjunction to my Decklink Extreme PCI-E ( http://www.decklink.com/products/sd/ ).
    Here's my configuration:
    MSI K8N Diamond Plus
    AMD64 X2 4400+
    ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA
    Decklink Extreme PCI-E
    2GB  RAM ( 2 x 1gb) Kingston
    OCZ-520 12U Modstream Power Supply
    plus 6 HD's (7200rpm) and 1 DVD-+RW
    The problem is, when I try to initialize the system with the Decklink, which it's a PCI-E 1x, it just don't boot. Neither putting the Decklink on the 1x, nor in the 4x slot and nor in the 16x.
    The Decklink is working just fine in another system and doesn't seem to be a problem with this card.
    I wondered if there's any limitation in the K8N Diamond Plus with working with the ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA plus the Decklink.
    =======================
    The other thig is that when I take off the Decklink, the system boots normaly but a message appears while booting: "Not enough space to copy PCI option ROM 00:13:00".
    And I don't have a clue about what's going on.
    =======================
    Please enlighten me with this questions if possible.
    Thank you very much.
    Greets.
    Igor Bineli

    Remove the battery away for 10 minutes, clear CMOS, start the system to load setup/optimized defauts in bios setup. After that, disable all onboard items in bios setup that you won't to use.  Save and exit.
    Plug ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA card,  and start your system to check if there is the error message. If there is, borrow another brand VGA card to do a test.
    Besides, update your MB bios and driver version to the latest one.

  • K8N Diamond Plus boot problems

    I just built a new computer and it was working fine for about a month.  Then one morning when I started it up it wouldn't turn on.  The front LED's turn on, and the fans all start, but nothing ever shows up on the screen.  The set of four lights on the back show  R R
                                                                                                    G G
    Nothing has changed since the pc was working fine.  I haven't changed any bios settings or added any hardware or software.  I did try resetting the bios using the CMOS jumper, but this didn't change anything.  The lights on the back show that it is initializing ide drivers, but in the manual it also shows that it is one of the last steps in the start-up process, so i would think that the memory check, processor count, msi logo ect. should appear on the screen like it normally does.  However, the LED that blinks when the hard drive is active never lights up, but when i open the case and feel the hard drive i can feel it vibrating like it is functioning properly.  And if it is a hardrive failure, then shouldn't the bios still start up and show up on the monitor?  I have heard that many weird problems can be attributed to the psu, but I have a 500w Antec Smartpower 2.0, which is a pretty reliable psu from what i've heard.  Any help or suggestions would be welcome.  Also, how would i test individual components to find out what is causing the problem?  I think since everything is within a couple of months old i should be able to get replacements.   Thanks in advance for any help.

    You guys are awesome!  Thanks a bunch for the info on ram, I feel like I understand it better and I looked and found all the stuff in the bios that you guys were talking about.  I'm downloading speedfan currently and will go install it on my other computer.  I tried swapping the sticks of memory, but i ran into the same problem i did before.  So i'm assuming that i can safely say one stick is faulty right?  And do any of you guys have any experience trying to get replacement memory from crucial?  I'll have to go poke around their website also.  Well, thank you all so much for all of your help.  This is my first home built pc and i'm trying to learn alot about them.  Once everything is running properly i may try a little overclocking, but i'd like to get everything running smoothly first.  Just out of curiosity, what would make a stick of ram go bad like that?  It was only a month old, and i thought crucial xms was pretty good ram.  Is it not? or did i just get unlucky?
           Thanks a ton for all the answers, this forum is the most helpful one i've ever seen.  thanks!
    Maybe that you're unlucky to get those faulty RAM. Crucial RAM is not bad if you get the better performance if you're ocing your PC if or else get the value RAM if you don't oced.

    Ok. Get it but not sure about MBM as it seems that it don't support it. :p

  • K8N Diamond Plus and IEEE1394 problem

    I connected the supplied IEEE1394 bracket to the correct connectors in the mainboard (as described in pg 2-20 in the manual).
    the "squarish" port worked fine, but the "longer" type just won't work!
    what happened? in the manual, it says one of the connector is optional.  but in my board, there are 2 1394 connectors.
    does it have anything to do with the problem?
    thanks

    In my Diamond Plus board there were two separate brackets that came with it. 
    One - for IEEE 1394 (Firewire) usage has two different shaped connectors on it, two cables coming off of it, and each cable has a GREEN connector with a big nub hanging off the side that only allowed them to be plugged into the IEEE1394 ports on the motherboard.  You could NOT accidentally plug those into USB ports because they would not fit.
    The other, for USB and diagnostic LED, has two same sized USB connectors on it, and four LED's.  The USB ports have two cables that come together at a YELLOW connector.  The LED's have a single cable that comes together at a BLACK connector.  It looks to me like if you inverted these connectors you could get it to fit into the IEEE jack on the motherboard, but they don't belong there.
    Make sure you're using the right brackets.
    Good Luck,
    DJG
    NOTE - Now that I reread this, it sounds like you might be saying that you got the two connectors to fit into the motherboard fine, but that one of the ports on the bracket still doesn't work.  Is that what you mean?  If so, I have nothing to offer except try switching connectors on motherboard and see if problem travels with bracket connector or motherboard port, try new bracket, etc...).

    My speakers is Logitech Z-680.
    My JAUD1 is jumped 5+6 and 9+10.
    Windows settings is 5,1 surround and digital output since i use SPDIF optical!
    My PSU is a seasonic S12 500w so that should give the power the board need!!!

    I know this board can reach 300+ by reviews by Tom's Hardware. But I was wondering how I could get my FSB up there? I can't seem to get past the hurtle at 270. Anything above this will make the system fail to start up and I have to clear the BIOS again.
    I lowered the HT to the equivalent of 3X, and CPU Multiplier to 8X using a venice core 3500+. I even tried adding voltage to the HT. I'm wondering if I'm missing something in this equation that stops me from getting 300+ FSB? The overclockable items are too many and unexplained.
    If someone could spread some light on what else needs to be done, please tell me.
    My system is as follows.
    MSI K8N Diamond Plus
    AMD64 3500+ Venice
    OCZ DDR600 Platinum Elite
    520 OCZ Powerstream
    2x Samsung 200G@Raid 0
    Zalman CNPS 9500 LED
    Sapphire GTO2
    Hi dude,
          I have the similar problem as well.  Sounds like you are in the bad shape, but yeah, try to loose your RAM settings.  First, all settings auto seem to be good, but it's actually not the case.  You have to set TRC and TRFC as higher than 12 and 14.  I am seeting those to be 14, 18, and it seems to be working great.  It will be better to set the burst length as 4 beats.  I don't like this board coz I can't set the drive length to be weak instead of normal detected by the Windows.  My system can post, but I got problems of playing 3D demos and games, which looks like it's the problem of motherboard.  Not mature enough.
    My rig:
    AMD Athlon64 3700+ @ 2.7GHz
    OCZ Platinum Elite DDR600 2.5-4-4-10 Dual Channel
    Leadtek PX6800GT @ 425/1200 at 2nd PCIe slot
    2 x WD 120GB 7200RPM + Samsung 160GB HD

  • K8N Diamond Plus Audio Problem

    New rig - have the K8N Diamond Plus, AMD 64 X2 4400+, Logictechz5300-e speakers.  When testing audio - the front speaker channel does not work - the center and rear are fine - tested to make sure it wasn't the speakers - definitely a mobo problem.  Have tried it set to 5.1, 6 and 8 channels.  Has anyone else experienced this issue??
    Thx

    The audio signal from DVD or CD is passingthrough IDE CABLE digital..(When listen CD audio).Now with X-FI you must buy(of corse if you have the money) 7.1 audio speakers like mine(gigaworks s750) to take full advance of your card.Believe me you won't regret it!.
