MicroTower DC5750 AMD ATHLON 64x gives 2 beeps and 9 beeps.

my computer turns off directly while running after 10 minutes giving 2 beeps with red led flashing with beeps once in a second with a gap of two second.and beeps stops after 5th time but led flashing goes on
if I try to restart it by switching off it and switching it back:
after 30 sec:  it gives 9 beeps with led flashes the same way
after 5 min  : it turns on and works fine. but doesnot work more than 10 to 15 min. 
i got over heating problem this is solved now
This question was solved.

  • MSI A75MA-P35 (MS 7697) With AMD ATHLON II QUADCORE - Several Beeps

    Hi,
    I´ve just monted an MSI A75MA-P35 (MS 7697) with a AMD ATHLON II QUADCORE (2.6), and at this time i´ve several beep codes (1 long + 2 shorts).
    I´m using AMD Memory (1 slot, 4 Gb, pc3 - 12800 1600mhz, CL9 - 1.5V), that´s all i´ve connected/mounted.
    ps - i´m using an Advance Power Supply with 480W.
    Any ideas about this?

  • AMD Athlon 64 3000 Idle temp and Fan Speed needed.

    Does anybody out there know what the CPU idle temp and fan speed should be? My Core Center shows 28C and 3308 rpm. Not sure if this is correct.

    I'd be dancing on top of whatever if I got a 28C idle....

  • PowerBook G4 Processor upgrade to AMD Athlon QL62?

    Hello all, I am in the market for lower priced laptops but I want something durable, ie Apple computers. I saw an apple Powerbook on Craigs for about 280 working with 2gb ram. However it only has a single core 1.5ghz PowerPC G4 processor. My current laptop has an AMD Athlon QL62 dual core processor and I was wondering if the PowerBook would take it (also if it would take my ATA toshiba drive)
    PS I mostly just watch youtube and netflix, do some audio/visual work. The most gaming I do is Minecraft. I don't like laptops that get really hot or have fan problems.

    Not possible.  They are completely different architectures. 
    If you want something that plays Netflix with Apple's design and operating system, get a MacBook or MacBook Pro with at least a Core2Duo.  Used and refurbished Mac buyers should beware of pitfalls of buying used and refurbished*:

    The plus side of getting one of those machines, you can also install Windows natively on them.

  • K7t Turbo2 and an AMD Athlon XP 2600+

    I recently flashed the BIOS on my K7t Turbo2 board to the 3.6 version which supports AMD Athlon XP processors up to 2600+.  However, after I installed the new cpu, set the core voltage to 1.65, the multiplier to 11.5 and the DCM value to 166 the computer would not boot.  Instead I received a simple "Beep" then two to three seconds later, another "Beep."  This continues to no avail and it takes almost ten "hard reboots" which is killing my hard disks to even get back into the BIOS configuration, wherein I modified the DCM settings to 133 instead of 166.  Now the computer boots but continues to tell me:
    Unknown Processor at 1533mhz
    When I did get it to run at 1910mhz (notice 1910, not 1917 as it should be), it also said Unknown Processor.  Then, on one of the three ocassions I was actually able to boot the computer at the higher clock speed, none of my drives appeared.  On the second ocassion, the Linux boot process froze and on the third, Windows XP wouldn't boot.  Now, if anyone has any suggestions as to what BIOS settings I can try, or even resetting my BIOS to a previous version, then trying to reflash it, that would be great....  If, however, this is more of an issue with an MSI BIOS patch, please release another version that works.   Thanks much!

    Go with the Tbred 2400+ bud, Thats what i have at the mo in my KT3 Ultra 2C, and with my old MSI ti4200 with 128mb, it kept up with a K7N2 Delta ILSR which is running a Barton 2600+ and an MSI FX5600XT with 256mb (that rig only beats me on the extra test in 2001se and 2003 that the FX card covers).
    Cant wait for my K7N2 Delta ILSR to arrive to go with my Ti4600.
    Should happily blow the Barton rig away  

  • K9N Diamond / AMD Athlon 64x2 5200+ won't boot

    Hi,
    I've just bouaght a new system and spent today putting it together. After everything seemed to be in place i plugged it all in and turned it on only to find it refuses to do anything boot-like. Black screen with spinning fans but no beeps etc...
    Specs -
    MSI K9N Diamond M-Board
    AMD Athlon 64X2 5200+ CPU

    IDE DVD-RW Drive

    I've checked around on other forums for similar issues with/without this board and tried a few obvious checks such as removing unnecessary cards, devices, RAM, HDD ad nothing produces any results or hints. The speaker is definately connected to the board and the power lights are lighting up.
    Any suggestion appreciated, Thanks

    Cheers, doesn't matter, took it to the local PC shop and after a bit of fiddling they noticed that there was a power point on the K9N m/board that needed connecting but which my power supply didn't have a connector for (a 4 pin, same type as the main m/board power connector). They cut a spare 8pin in half and bingo, works fine!

  • KT4AV-L paired with a Amd Athlon XP2600 333mhz 512 L2 Cache Barton Bios setup question

    Hi Guys
    I have just recently bought a KT4AV-L paired with a Amd Athlon XP2600 333mhz 512 L2 Cache Barton. Having browsed over to the cpu support after not being able to get my machine to register a 2600+ from the bios i looked up the support to see that is doesn't support that processor in the list can someone tell me if it does and how i need to setup my bios to register is a 2600+ or near,  as i can only get about 1.5 ghz out of it at the moment. I adjusted the fsb to 140 and the system hangs on powerup and i get nothing but it gives a memory error from the d-panle. Any ideas? should i just be running the fsb at 133 or 166?
    Setup includes motherboard + processor listed
    512 crucial ddr 333 pc 2700
    radeon 9600 256 agp 8
    soundblaster live (value) 4:1
    Tom
    Never really worked with AMD before first time, not really understanding if i have made simple mistakes.

    Right bit of an update
    I have the machine ticking over quite nicely @ FSB 133. This i can increase to about 155 and then it dies. So again i have tried to run it at 166 and i get the blank screen the the d-plate registers a Memory Detection Test and stops there.
    I have tried to run the system from start at the FSB 155 and i get the same problem with the system hanging.
    I have been reading a bit on the forums and found that it might be my power supply. I am using
    A-CASE INDUSTRIAL INC (Says AMD recommended, a bit old though)
    model : LC-A300ATX
    3.3v - 20A
    5v - 30A
    12 - 10A
    5 and 3v combined = 160w
    300 watt max.
    Also i have the crutial memory mod in there which i also realise could be the problem.
    I was hoping if someone could maybe help me identify the most likley course from how the system is acting to what the problem might be, also could it be to do with the CPU temp.
    cheers

    - Supports Sempron L2 512K 3000+ CPU.)
    However, v. 1.c did not work and would not post at all with the newly installed Barton AMD-XP 2800. [frankly this attempt was months ago and I do not remember whether it would post at the slower 100 and 133 FSB speeds, and also to muddle my memory further I was upgrading an A7N8X-D with a Barton XP 3000 and having similar problems on the ASUS,,, which is now running fine at full potential. ; - p
    •   Then I selected and flashed A6712 V 1.7 122602, boots and runs Win.XP-sp2 at FSB 100MHz & 133MHZ.  (MSI:” Supports AMD Barton XP2800+ (FSB333) CPU
    -Fixes system sometimes will have IDE CRC error   -Fixes D-bracket2+USB keyboard, cannot use keyboard on DOS mode.)”    which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz.
    I checked with the Tech. at the local shop where I purchased the KT4V MoBo. He suggested I try a different BIOS but he didn’t specify which one. He is a personal friend and admits to some bad luck and dead boards due to flashing bios so reluctant to mess with it.
    •   Now running:  A6712vms.1B0 – MSI hid this BIOS V. found here:
    •   http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=362&kind=1
    •    On a different page than the 2 versions mentioned above. http://www.msicomputer.com/support/bios_result.asp
    •    No wonder people are frustrated and confused about different MoBo versions there ID #’s and the BIOS versions them selves as seen on this news board. MSI’s fault, no fault of anyone here trying to help.
    A6712vms.1B0
    Runs fine at FSB 100 (shows as XP 1250+) and FSB 133 (shows as XP 2200+) Booting to Win. XP-sp2 on CMOS, default setup other than minor tweaks to accommodate MSI Ti 4200 AGP 8X 125mb graphics card or Gilmond PCI card. But which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz .
    No post at FSB 166 mhz (once, it did flash a post screen stating AMD Athlon XP 2800 for about 2 sec. before going blank) Manual power down. Just now I rebooted with FSB 166, and again saw the AMD Athlon XP 2800 at top of the post screen as I hit pause break,,,, then the machine power crashed to Off. Once it even loaded Win.XP-sp2 but crashed to power off with in 2 min.
    I must have booted this beast a dozen times or more after Clear CMOS jumper each time it went to blank screen with mach. still running. Start over; set Default settings and work up with FSB 100, 133, each time to read what POST says and see if it will boot to O/S.
    Btw: I have looked for clear evidence through the not so specific descriptions MSI uses to separate these board model #s and may be part of my current problem with correct board ID = correct BIOS ID.

    Eg: - KT4 Ultra (MS-6590), 6-channel hardware audio codec
       • KT4 Ultra (Pure Version)
       • KT4 Ultra-B (Bluetooth ready)
       • KT4 Ultra-BSR (Bluetooth ready + Serial ATA RAID)
       • KT4 Ultra-FISR (Bluetooth ready, Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394)
    - KT4V (MS-6712), 6-channel software audio codec
       • KT4V-L, with onboard 10/100 LAN
    - KT4M (MS-6596) micro-ATX board
       • KT4M-L, with onboard 10/100 LAN
    - KT4A Ultra, (MS-6590) NEW!! based on KT400A chipset
       • KT4A Ultra (Standard Version)
       • KT4A Ultra-SR (Serial ATA RAID)
       • KT4A Ultra-FISR (Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394)
    And a very similar version of this on Official MSI site. Both seem to try and make a difference between modles with on board Lan, and Blue Tooth ready.
    Take a look at my original box sticker:
    *As seen on face of MoBo: KT4V MS-6712   Ver:10A
    *The Original Box bar code label: KT4V-L (601-6712-050)
    K7, KT400. 5.1 chnl. S/W Audio, LAN, D-Bracket 2.
    Yup, it says all this on the sticker and the in the manual and verified on the MoBo. So I can only guess at all parts of the puzzle as they gave them to me which lead me to the afore mention BIOS versions I ran, or am running. The sticker points to nearly half of the boards above except for the MS-6712 and the Ver:10a which is what I based my BIOS choices on. If someone knows differently and can lead me to official Nfo with a better answer I’m all ears.
    Just saw this: Latest Official BIOS : KT4 MS-6590 (1.4), KT4V  MS-6712 (1.8 ) , KT4M MS-6596 (1.1)>>Here: [VIA] unofficial FAQ for KT4 series motherboards

      Cut to sound track: Down on the BIOS again,,, wasn’t that Creedance Clear Water Revival?
    Any suggestions or insights are much appreciated. 

    Welcome, and thank you for a thorough input! Hope I don't miss something you already said!
    Quick version: Try setting processor voltage to 1,5 volt.
    Long version:
    Posting at wrong FSB can be put down to two things:
    1 The processor isn't what you thought it is, but I think you eliminated that.
    2 The system cannot run the processor at the correct speed. Mainly this has to with overheating, and/or that memory and processor cannot cooperate. This must be it, as you noticed the processor is correctly recognised.
    You have little connected right? Then the best thing would be to pull power cable out. Take the motherboard and redo the seating of the processor, this is much better done with motherboard taken out.
    At the same time, I suggest you clear CMOS. Should always be done when changing processor, and I've noticed on the Internet there are a few 1,5V XP2800 around.

  • Overclock AMD Athlon II X2 250 on MSI 760GM-P21 (FX)

    I want to overclock AMD Athlon II X2 250 on motherboard MSI 760GM-P21 (FX), integrated video card from motherboard and MS-TECH VERTIGO 520W 80+ power supply.
    But before buy this power supply I had a NoName 400w.
    And when I oc on NoName PSU after 3,3 ghz I receive BSOD.
    How to oc more than 3,3 ?
    Ty.

     The CPU itself would work just fine up till the current draw exceeds the limit of CPU VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) and fry it. Even tho it's listed as supported don't use CPU over 95W and even then under heavy loads for longer periods of time a 95W CPU could possibly cause damage also. If using a 95W don't OC it any. The VRM on the 760GM was never intended for 125W CPU.
     The only reason the 125W CPU is listed is because competing brands show support for them and MSI made the wrong decision to list them also just for competitive marketing purposes.

    I was looking for a 125watt board too and its really hard to find one from MSI that have the things I want, I cant even find a board with Nvidia chipset, amd2+ and support a 125 watt processor (or not tested OK yet) or some boards without a cpu support list yet. So no AM2+ for you if you want a 125watt processor on it and a nvidia chipset. is there any reason why MSI cant fix 125watt support?
    If you dont care about a future quadcores upgrade you can buy a old AM2 board, but dont forgot to look at the cpu support list, because the most AM2 boards doesnt support 125watt either.  ???

    Hello everyone,
    First of all, I have been to cpu-upgrade.com and typed in my current (CPU)--> AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz (motherboard)--> ASUS A8M2N-LA (Naos) GL6. 
    According to the website, my AM2 Socket (940pin) is capable of upgrading to a Dual Core, Anyone know if that site is accurate or not? Any help would be nice. I need to get away from this single core. 
    1) Some CPU models require a BIOS upgrade, which a BIOS upgrade for this board is not available.
    2) A lot of X2 Dual Cores work either using a 4400+, 4600+, and so on....
    I do have a 550watt PSU installed, also I am using MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 PCI-express 16x graphics, not using onboard.
    I have read that some BIOS' upgrades terminate the onboard video, is that true? Basically, whatever I already have installed is current and up to date with all video/sound drivers, etc... If anybody very knowledgable knows for sure if an AMD Athlon 64 X2 will work in my system that would be nice. My specs below......
    OS: Windows Vista Home Basic (32bit)
    CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz
    RAM: 2GB (GDDR2)
    PSU: 550watt (all 20+4 for main cable to motherboard connected using all 24 pins + 4pin connector for CPU? I believe.
    Sound: Realtek HD ALC888 High Definition Audio
    Video: MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 (GDDR3 with 2GB Video Memory).
    Only thing I am bottle necking on is the CPU, and I would love to upgrade to Dual Core, once again, thank you for the help.

  • AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800 and K9N SLI Platinum

    I've been reading conflicting reports concerning RAM speed. One says that X2 AMD's will run at 800mhz, and I've read that only FX will run at 800 and vise versa, with this mobo. Anyone running this cpu with RAM at 800mhz????

    On Socket AM2 Athlon 64 systems, the clock speed of system memory is derived from the CPU's clock frequency.
    The memory clock runs at some fraction of the CPU clock speed, and the ratio of CPU clock to memory clock is determined by a divisor. Yet only whole-number divisors are available on these chips, and that limits the available memory clock speeds.
    In other words, some AM2's will run DDR800 at 800 MHz, some won't.  The 3800+ will.

  • TS1362 I am running windows xp with all the updates. I have an HP Pavilion with an AMD athlon xp-m processor.  I have the most RAM I can install on this PC (1 gig). I also have plenty of disc space(over 60 gig). Why can't I play my .MOV files correctly.

    I cannot get the .mov files I recorded on my I-phone 4 to play correctly( i.e. no audio, video jerky at best), on my HP Pavilion laptop with an AMD athlon xp-m, OS=XP, 1 gig ram, plenty of hard drive space >50 gig. Just not enough RAM or am I missing something? I have updated all I can(Quicktime, I-tunes etal). Any ideas?

    My first thought when reading your post ( video jerky) is that the CPU doesn't have enough horse power? What is the GHz of the AMD athlon? 1.8 GHz would be right on the edge with video. And where the computer will max out at 1 Ghz of RAM indicates the laptop is older and the CPU probably as well. 1 GHz of RAM maybe low on today's computers but would not be an issue if the CPU was perhaps 2.8 GHz. The audio is less demanding by far on CPU's than video, so that could be a codec?

  • Is an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ compatible with windows 8.1 64bit?

    I have an older build with an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor.  I have been reading about Win 8.1 64 bit compatibility issues regarding certain AMD processors.  My question is...
    Looking at my system information under processor, it shows  "cx16 CMPXCHG16b instruction" in the details.  From what I have read, the problem with older AMDs is that they are missing the CMPXCHG16b instruction set.  Given the info
    above would it be safe to say that my processor will be able to run the 64bit version of Windows 8.1?
    Any info on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
    -Nick

    Hi Nick,
    Yes, as you know, to install a 64-bit OS on a 64-bit PC, your processor needs to support CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF.
    There are some other requirements for Windows 8.1, please read this guide:
    System requirements
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/system-requirements
    So please contact AMD support if this model meet the requirement.
    I also would like to suggest you run Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant to check if your computer could running Windows 8.1 before you install it.
