Mobo and NO CPU

all,
3 questions?  (1) what happens when you have a healthy KN8 plat system without a CPU when you attach power to the PSU? (2) same as 1, but assume PSU has been plugged in and you then  hit the power switch (again no CPU) ? (3) if the system turns over (from no 2) does the bios post with a CPU error ?
Thanks in advance,
ventura

tire,
this was a hypothetical question to see what a healthy system does...that being said...I have another thread about my current problem that is call "is this a bad board"
MY (2nd RMA, that fails differently then the original) system has 4 red LED's....as soon as you plug in power to the PSU the whole case powers on without hitting the power switch (drives, LED's ect)
but the bios does not post, and the vdo card and CPU do not get warm. I have pulled the CPU and the same behavior happens.
the long and short of it is this: I am trying to determine if my mobo or CPU is the issue. I think mobo (based on the fact the the power/reset buttons are not working and none of my componets are heating up) but knowing the answer to the oringinal questions (specifically 1 and 2) will assist greatly in knowing if I should send my processor out to AMD for replacement also
Thanks
Ventura

  • Old mobo and cpu compatibility

    Hi everyone,
    I have an old pc with a msi ms-7301 and an Intel core 2 duo e6300.
    I want to buy on ebay an Intel core 2 extreme x6800 to upgrade this old and slow computer...
    Will the mobo support this cpu?
    They are both lga 775, 1066mhz FSB, 65nm... 
    p.s.
    I know that this mobo is OEM, but please help me, don't close this topic! Packardbell has a very bad support and my computer is very old... I contacted them but they didn't reply me 
    Thanks.

  • MSI 745 Ultra mobo and XP 2400+ cpu problem

    Well I just bought an Athlon XP 2400+ cpu as an upgrade for this computer. I am having a hard time getting it to work properly. My setup is as follows:
    MSI 745 Ultra mobo (BIOS 1.6 and tried 1.5)
    AMD Athlon XP 2400+
    Samsung pc2700 memory (2x256meg sticks)
    Asylum Geforce 4 Ti4600 video card
    Unknown 10/100 nic
    Maxtor 30gig HD
    The first problem was, the XP 2400+ cpu was auto detected as an 1800+ running at 1.5ghz. I looked on the MSI cpu support page and it said to set the BIOS settings to 133 for the CPU FSB and 15 for the CPU Ratio. I did this (using 1.6 bios version) and the system would not boot. After some struggling I was able to get into the BIOS again. I messed with different Ratio's to lower the operating speed of the cpu. It turned out that anything I tried with the 133 FSB setting would hang the system. I looked in MSI knowledge base, it has my exact same problems listed and the recommended fix is to "upgrade" to BIOS 1.5. So, for kicks I downgraded my 1.6 BIOS to the 1.5 version. I still had the same exact problems, however, one different. When the FSB was set at 133 and Ratio at 15, for some reason the system booted but set the FSB back to 100 and the Ratio to 20 (which is not even an option in the bios). I found this information using Wincpuid once the system was booted. I really would like to get this cpu working as it should and be found as an Athlon 2400+ running at 2.0ghz. Anyone have any ideas?
    Could the power supply be at fault at all? It's just a generic PS that came with the case. Maybe the 2400+ needs more power to run at the higher clock speed and FSB? My other thought is the memory. Something related to the ram maybe? TIA.
    Justin

    Ok the trick is to do *not* as the MSI cpu support webpage says. The support webpage says to set the CPU FSB to 133 and the CPU Ratio (multiplier) to 15. My system would not boot this way. I set the FSB to 133 and the ratio to "H/W" and it works perfectly fine.

  • Kentucky Fried Mobo - Odds of CPU Survival?

    Today I have been mostly killing my Neo 2 Platinum.
    I borrowed the vid card for another machine and after replacement the thing wouldn't boot. Power to fans - Dbracket stuck at early chipset - no beeps - powers on and off with case switch. Faint burning smell from NorthBridge AGP slot area. The same faint burning smell that comes from the beyond economical repair bin at work. Smashing. Tried part swapping for a couple of hours, stripping to basics, clearing cmos etc.
    I won't be sorry to bin the board after all the gart driver fun, odd temps, your drive didn't really need a master boot record and Corecentre doesn't support your motherboard aggro over the last year or so. All the other components are now living with an AthlonXP or P3 for a bit.
    Thing is, I don't have another board to test the Athlon 64 on. Have you killed your board? Did the cpu survive the process? It looks ok, doesn't smell or rattle or anything...
    TIA

    I was in a similar situation a while back with a Socket A mobo and cpu. To test the cpu I bought a PC Chips mobo for under £7 to save frying another mobo. Can you buy something similar but S939, do PC Chips make S939 boards?
    That's what PC Chips is good for...
    No doubt...
    My 1st ever build was a Socket A ECS board about 5 years ago... I wouldn't inflict one of those upon my worst enemy.

  • Does RS480M2 mobo come with CPU backplate?

    Hi
    I am just waiting for delivery of a new RS480M2 motherboard which I am planning to use with an Athlon 64 3200, OEM version.  I've bought a separate CPU cooler which does not include a backplate.  Does the motherboard come with its own CPU backplate for this purpose?  I've tried looking through some previous forum topics but can't find a specific answer.
    Thanks
    Steven Thompson

    yes! i believe so! this mobo comes with a CPU backplate that must be installed. mine came pre-installed by the computer shop. it is basically the heatsink retention base that you need to install your CPU heatsink fan. all you have to do is to install it by locking its clips to the retention base!
    good luck with your new mobo! hope you will not have as many problems as i did. i also have AMD64 3200+ (Venice) processor together with this RS480M2 mobo. it's been running rock solid!!! so far.... i just have c few BIOS issues and a CPU temperature problem. everything else is superb!! with this mobo. (no overclockability though).  i prefer ATI rather than nvidia chipset.   

  • MOVED: BIOS 3.4 - destroyed overclock and wierd CPU prob

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    BIOS 3.4 - destroyed overclock and wierd CPU prob

    Happy to see you have problem cause only few mention this.
    I have it too with Venice 3500+. Forced multiplier 5, forced min. voltage and I get a cool 5x200. To fix it I must use HTT of 5, then rest acts normal. Anything but 5 and it defaults to this minimum setup. Yes, C&Q is turned off. May be if we set up C&Q in OS that would help but not going to happen.
    Solution for me is to use bios 3.2 which dont have either RAID bug or 219 bug - which actually is a 22x bug for me. Ive done all P95 tests at 11x246 for min. 12 hours. Im not happy with solution or 3.2 though and hope new beta also fix this problem not so many talk about. Think Ive seen 5-6 crying about it in public. With HTT 5 you wouldnt notice, guess most use that.
    If you test new beta bios and it does fix this please post so I know 3.5 is worth waiting for. Beta is not 100% compatible with our mobo I think - not sure you should flash unless you got bios savior, some have done it but Im not going to.
    Link to beta https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=82493.0 but be careful...

  • NF750 mobo and AMDPH II X4 940 3.0G

    Simple question,
    will this CPU work on this Mobo ?
    It's not actually listed in the CPU Supported list, but then again, can everyone be listed?
    It falls between better and lesser models, in TDP.
    Just an oversight and it's not on the list?

    Quote from: symp on 23-November-10, 03:18:44
    Hmm.
    I justed noticed it doesnt say anywhere that it accepts AM2+ chips,
    so I guess that's the real question, does it or not?
     No, AM2 and AM2+ CPU's can not be used on AM3 MB's.

  • New mobo(z87) new cpu, no video output n560GTx ti hawk

    Hello everyone
    I installed a new mobo and cpu yesterday, now my GPU suddenly doesn't work anymore.
    The installed mobo is an Asus z87-DELUXE, the CPU is an Intel i7 4770k.
    The GPU is a MSI N560GTX-TI Hawk, the board goes in 00AE (Legacy boot mode) mode, after a minute of being in 00AE the board goes to 00A0 which is the normal state. The screen stays black and nothing happens I cannot go to bios. The VGA_LED turns on red and stays red, this means that there is a problem there (according by the book).
    All LEDS are running on my GPU and the fans are running aswel, when I put in my older MSI n9500GT it does work (this one only uses one lane + no external psu connection). The onboard graphics work aswel.
    I tried putting my graphics priority to PCIE, then it worked once but after that not anymore again.
    The drivers have been updated, my HDD has been wiped and a fresh copy of windows 7 x64 is installed, the bios has been updated aswel to the newest version.
    When I try to use my N560GTX to test my changes and put in my N9500GT again after noticing nothing changed, I get a system repair request of windows, I tried this repair twice but now it says it can't change anything on it's own.
    Have I missed anything or is my GPU dead?
    My setup:
    Corsair Obsidian 650d
    Coolermaster GX 650W Bronze+
    Asus Z87-DELUXE
    Intel i7 4770k @Std clock speed - Cooled by Mugen4 PCGH Edition
    Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz LP
    MSI N560GTX-Ti HAWK
    Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200RPM
    1 Optical drive, no other drives
    Thx in regards
    Jonas

    Well, you'd need to test the vga in another system to be sure. Could very well be a compatibility issue with your new board. Make sure it is running at the latest bios version.

  • Power Mac G4 MDD MOBO and Processor Compatibility

    I have two G4 MDD Motherboards. One MOBO is a 820-1474A (FW800) and the other is a 820-1476A (with just 2 FW 400 ports). I was told the 1476A is a 167Mhz buss and the 1474A is a 133Mhz buss board. I've tried installing a Dual Processor module PN 820-1472A onto the 1476A board but it doesn't work. It powers on, all the fans turn on, the processor gets warm and I see a RED light come on near the RAM slots but I don't hear that normal Apple 'GONG' sound during turn on. I know Apple built numerous CPU's (single and dual)for the MDD and some of these CPU's are not cross compatible. I'm really confused now with all these PN's and what CPU's can work on what MOBO. Where can I go to find out what PN's are compatible?? I tried two other single processor CPU's 1.25Mhz with the 1474A MOBO and I get the same results as I do with the 1474A MOBO. So now I have all these parts and no confidence on what is good and what is bad??
    More Background -- I've got 2 brand new 512MB PC 2700 chips purchased from '4 All Memory' specifically for a G4 MDD, an Radeon ATI video card that works fine in one of my other G4's and my boot drive is an IDE 320G with OS 10.4.11 installed and the power supply is a API1PC36 (360W).

  • High CPU & Memory issues - Excessive and unnecessary CPU usage in Firefox for Windows (see also questions1003966 & 998289)

    I am using the latest version of Firefox, 32.0.1, on an HP Pavilion dv7-4141sa laptop computer, running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit. There should be more than enough power here to run a browser without any problem, yet the computer is regularly being overloaded by the browser's resource usage.
    I am currently measuring typical average CPU usage of 45% - with the browser minimised. That is to say, Firefox is not doing any browser jobs - it is not drawing on the screen - but it is using the most CPU of any process currently running. Why?
    I am an ex-software engineer, and my understanding of current application development technology is limited, but I think I can say with some confidence that many techniques and software architectures exist that enable the suspension of program activity, or at least its reduction to a very low bare minimum, when the program is not actually carrying out its design function, which is in this case to draw pictures of website data on a screen.
    There is a very serious problem here, one which means that I cannot run Firefox all the time, but have to kill it when I am not actively browsing, otherwise other applications cannot run to their full capacity. This is a great pity, because I have committed a lot of effort to making Firefox my primary web tool. It manages all my many bookmarks, contains my secure password manager (LastPass), manages my web security (via NoScript, AdBlock, and FlashBlock), just for a start.
    Before any well-meaning moderators or other commenters start down the usual trail of "have you done this, tried that, disabled the other", I should point out that I have followed all the advice I can find, with no positive outcome. This computer is running a fresh installation of Windows, and a fresh installation of Firefox. At the moment I am running a new test Firefox profile.
    The latest version of Adobe Flash, 14.0.0.179, is installed but disabled. When it is enabled and in use, Firefox's CPU usage seems high over longer periods, but overall there is little difference. It doesn't look as though the problem can be laid at Flash's door. A few other add-ins are installed, mainly those mentioned above, and Firefox is skinned with LavaFox v2-Green, but I have previously started from a clean installation, which has made little difference after an initial period during which things seemed to be better. Turning off or disabling various add-ons has made no discernible difference.
    Just now I turned Flash on, and after a long period with Firefox minimised, Resource Monitor reported Firefox at 8% average CPU and FlashPlayerPlugin at 0.32%. While running a small video, RM reports FlashPlayerPlugin at about 45% and Firefox at 8%. After the video, Flash went back down to around 0.4%, and after a bit more browsing Firefox went to around 17% minimised. There seems little rhyme or reason here, except that Flash does not seem to be the culprit, although Firefox does seem to consume less when fewer tabs are actually active, as you might expect. I just refreshed more than a dozen tabs, and now Firefox is at 30%, but still not back up to the higher figures. Weird.
    The CPU usage does vary a lot around the average, but 30% is still a lot for a program that shouldn't be doing anything above the minimum status maintenance, and still puts it at the top of my Top Process Monitor list. (Right now it's gone back up to 45%, without my using it in any way).
    I have Telemetry turned on, so presumably Mozilla is recording some of the relevant data.
    This is a very serious fault, which is more or less reproducible and which a lot of people seem to be experiencing. Probably more people have it than realise, because most users will not know anything other than that their computer slows down for some non-obvious reason; they may just think it's something to do with the computer itself, not knowing how to use the Resource Monitor and interpret the results.
    Oddly, the problem does not seem to occur when running Firefox under Linux Mint 17, where the response is snappy and the CPU usage ostensibly low; I am going to look at this in more detail shortly.
    I am not posting here for advice, but for information and as a form of bug report which hopefully other users will see. It will hopefully spare them a lot of effort and time in trying a lot of recommended "solutions" which will not work. The problem is inherent in the software, and can be solved only by Mozilla.
    I am willing to supply any diagnostic data requested; as I said above, I have also turned on "Telemetry". However, I will not be trying out any more reinstallation/new-profile/add-on disable-enable-delete cycles unless I am asked to for very specific reasons. Please do not suggest courses of action which have already been mentioned elsewhere on this forum. I have tried them all.
    The situation is very disappointing, but I have confidence that the Firefox developers will pin down the fault eventually and engineer a satisfactory solution that makes it viable to leave Firefox open all the time. Even with that restriction, it's still far better than the alternatives.

    I share jmward's frustration. This is not a bug report so much as a request for a badly needed feature, ie the ability to have Firefox be able to tell us which tabs on which windows are eating time so we can target them. There are some very poorly written web pages out there which just plain loop while making no updates or inconsequential updates on the page.
    This is not a OS problem; jmward runs Windows and I run Linux but we have the same issue. It is not a question of Firefox plugins or extensions, or even viruses; I have a new, clean Linux install but have the same problem on both my regular Firefox AND on a FRESH install of the latest Firefox (35.0.1) which has *NO* non-default plugins or extensions.
    Here is an example of a web page which will eat 100% of one CPU's time:
    http://patch.com/massachusetts/arlington/arlington-woman-allegedly-attacks-neighbor-snow-blower-0
    I will attach 3 images to back up my claim. All of the images show my dark blue system monitor (gkrellm) superimposed on the web page. The top graph shows CPU time. I have 4 CPUs in my machine, so 25% means the web page is eating 100% of one CPU equivalent.
    The first image shows the load of the offending page with elevated CPU usage along with the download net activity on eth0, but the CPU activity does not stop when the download activity is over.
    The second images show the steady state 100% CPU equivalent of this page just sitting there apparently doing nothing. It IS, however, doing at least two different things. I know from my regular Firefox where I have "Remove It Permanently" installed that if I remove the the little weather indicator in the upper right of the offending page that CPU utilization drops to about 40% of one CPU equivalent. If I use RIP to remove everything else right down to a bare screen that 40% utilization stays until I delete the tab.
    The third image shows the CPU utilization drop to zero when I delete the tab holding the offending page.
    Now I will add a note here: If the offending page is NOT the top tab in a window then it stops eating time. The offender will also stop eating time if I minimize the window. However if I have another window up but leave the offender up on top in its window it continues to eat time even tho I am looking at another window. The offender will continue to eat time even if its window is completely covered by another window, and it will also eat time if I switch to another desktop.
    I will often have half a dozen windows open, and there are many pages out there which will suck endless CPU time. Unless I want to open up a new tab on each window before I leave it there is likely to be some tab on top eating time uselessly. Get a couple of those going and Firefox becomes sluggish and can even stop responding for many seconds.
    I guess I not only want to have Firefox tell us which tabs are eating time, but I would also like it if Firefox would stop giving CPU time to any tab which is not visible because it is covered by some other window and/or it is on a desktop which is currently not showing. If you can stop a tab's CPU usage by reason of tab-not-showing then you should also be able to stop its CPU usage when the window is covered or on the not-top desktop. Indeed is there any reason to not schedule absolute CPU utilization priority to the visible tab on the window with focus and give time to the other tabs only when the visible tab isn't using time?
    My final thought on this is that I have had Firefox SO tied up sometimes that I swear their are web pages which are eating time even tho they are not the top tab. I regret that I do not have an example to show you. But Firefox grinds to a complete halt on a regular basis, and that is not acceptable. I am a programmer with long experience in multi-threaded programs so I *know* there is no reason you cannot do better. If there were another browser around which had the commitment to privacy which Firefox has I would probably switch out of shear annoyance. :-(

  • High number of threads and high CPU usage on a single instance

    Without any apparent reason, in some moments of day the website reports an increment of the HTTP Queue Length from an average of 10/20 queued requests to 100/200 and more.
    In that period of time the Average Response Time increases but the number of the requests on the website don't. Even increasing the instances it doesn't help to resolve the problem (maybe it just reduced it).
    It seems that the problem is not related to the traffic on the site. This issue happens either when the traffic is high or low.
    The autoscaling works well, we don't have peak of traffic but always a slow increasing of requests and the CPU is always below the 50% (memory too). The issue is resolved by the swap of the site and sometimes it's resolve by itself after a while.
    What I discovered when the issue happens, is that there's an instance (just an instance only), that has an high number of threads and CPU usage on the W3WP.exe process and these values are above the mean than the other instances. Eg, instances are around
    50/60 threads and 10/20% of CPU, the instance with the problem has 200 threads and 50/60% of CPU. If I kill the W3WP process on that instance the issue is resolved. 
    I monitored the HTTP requests, I tried the website extension "Diagnostics as service" but I can't discover anything that can help me to understand the problem. Of course, there are many requests that go in timeout but it is a consequences of a
    unresponsive instance.
    On the web hosting plan there are only two sites: the production site and its staging which is used for update of the production only and it's always sleeping. Plus, no webjobs are running on this site.
    What can I do to gather useful information that can help me to understand the reason of this problem?
    Thank you!

    "Does the instance with the high counts receive more traffic than the other instances? Is it possible that the load balancer not
    working the way it should be?"
    How can I get that information? I can't see metrics for a specific instance
    "Does it always happen to the first instance?"
    I will check it better, but in the order given by the Processes panel it's the second instance which has the issue. The scaling is at 2 instances for the most part of the time (it's the minimum).
    Maybe one time it was the 3th instance but I'm not sure, I'll give it more attention.
    " How long do these moment last?"
    The time can be 10 to 30 minutes, but I fix it as soon as I see the problem. It's not the down-scaling to resolve it because in these situations the CPU as well is high so the scaling holds or increases the number of instances.
    "- How often do these moments occurs?"
    It occurs quite often, 2/4 times a week.

  • Safari hangs, beach ball and 100% CPU confusion

    I'm struggling!
    Safri 5.1 on Lion 10.7.3 and on both my Mackbook Air and iMac after the recent updates something is stopping Safar from loading. It just hangs, beachball kicks in and the CPU shoots upto around 100% with a "web process".

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are several lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. A text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(x|postfix|ntp|cups)/{print $3}'
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item'
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • How could i get the kernel and user cpu usage for each process

    Hi all,
    In order to monitor the system CPU usage, I would like write a script to gather the kernel and user CPU usage for each process, like the prstat or top does. As always missing the shortlived kernel usage, prstat or top cann't get the precise CPU usage. I checked with the dtrace syscall, proc and fbt provider, but don't get which one is useful.
    Please provide your comments and suggestion.
    Thanks in adv

Because that's just polling at specific intervals and reading some process structures from /proc. You could have dtrace fire a probe every 5 seconds and read the same thing, but it wouldn't really be using any features of dtrace. Trhying to write it "in dtrace" doesn't make much sense.
    What you could do that would be harder via other methods is to fire a probe at process exit that displayed the process information including total CPU time. They could print exactly when processes exited. Doing that without dtrace would be very difficult.

    Hi, this is Eric Maurice, Director Oracle Software Security Assurance. In the past, I have been getting a number of questions about the differences between the Patch Set Updates (PSUs) and traditional Critical Patch Update (CPU) patches.
    On August 11th at 11:00AM Pacific / 2:00PM Eastern, the Independent Oracle User Group (IOUG) will host a webcast on Database Server security patching featuring two speakers from Oracle: Bruce Lowenthal, Director for Security Alerts, and Lois Price, Director for Product Lifecycle Services.
    The purpose of this technical webcast is to discuss the various aspects of the Critical Patch Update (CPU) program, which are specific to Oracle Database Server. The speakers will spend a significant portion of the webcast discussing the differences between the Patch Set Update (PSU) and traditional CPU patches. An overview of the CPU program will also be provided, and ample time will be set aside for a Q&A session at the end of the presentation.
