I´m quite confused by the fact that when i rolled back to the original BIOS that came qith the mobo, the problems were not solved.

Use 2 memory sticks in 1st two DIMM's near to CPU socket.
Also apply memory voltage to 2.0-2.1V in BIOS cell menu.
Re-test.
And also stop with BIOS flashing

Another thing why is updateing your Bios your own risk? When it was MSI that messed it up in the first place and the board needs to be updated?

MOVED: K9A2 Platinum ACPI errors after resume

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114100.0

You're welcome!
I had same problem with my old build; same RX1950 card but with K8NGM2-FID board. I think I may have updated the Catalyst drivers after I gave up trying to get standby to work, but it works flawlessly now in this new K9A2 Platinum system I have. Just to note, I rebuilt my brother's K7N2 Delta2 system with the old K8NGM2-FID board, and resume from standby works fine there too. So it could well have just been a driver issue.

K9A2 Platinum PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well, im on BOARD #2, and #3 is on it's way....
ok, I purchased the first board on NewEGG thogether with a Phenom 9950BE, 4GB OCZ 2x2 DDR2 1066 5-5-5-15 @2.1v and Saphire ATI HD4850. well the first try was bad, the board would not recognize my 4 WD RAPTORS, the promise controller would not detect them, and the SB600 could only read 2 out of 4 and only if 2 where connnected and not the 4....
well, I send that board back, in the mean time I visited Fry's Electronics and purchased the board again, now this time is working so, so... I managed to install VISTA64 SP1 with all the patches, etc, and play few games, except i still have problems: I disabled the promise controller as i need to run 2 ARRAY's of RAID 0 (2 Raptors 740 each, one array for OS and one for GAMES) the problem is that I get random lockups, Blue Screens, etc. also when I choose to restart the computer or send it to SLEEP, as it is shutting down the HD make a weird sound that they never made before and if I restarted the SB600 raid bios would not detect the arrays, i physically have to power down, wait and restart, so the arrays are detected.
also I try to overclock the PC, the Phenom is able to run at 3ghz but it freezes some times immediately but others it would last few hours with gaming in between, i tried several voltages from 1.33v to 1.41v and some times get a BlueScreen that reads a processors error, one core did't respond on expected time... or something like that.
[bashing removed]
my spec's are:
AMD Phenom 9950 Black Edition B3
MSI K9A2 platinum 1.5 bios
Saphire HD4850
4GB OCZ DDR2 1066 5-5-5-15 @2.1v Dual CH.(2x2GB)
4x WD RAPTORS WD740 on RAID 0 (two ARRAYS)
PIONEER DVD-RW DL IDE
CoolerMaster STACKER case w/2 120mm fans and 1 80mm
Dual PS: CoolerMaster Real 450w PS & Ultra 400w PS

well, the design of the CoolerMaster STACKER case is for two Power supply's working in tandem, it has a connector that turns on both supply's at the same time, so I split the load as follows: all Motherboard plugs, 3 120mm fans, 1 80mm fan & Pioneer DVD drive; powered by thr CoolerMaster REAL 450w, it list power as follows: PEAK (60S) +3.3v@30A, +5v@35A, +12v1@18A, +12v2@16A, -12v@blank?, [email protected].
CONTINUOS: +3.3v@20A, +5v@25A, +12v1@12A, +12v2@10A, [email protected], [email protected]
as for the other power supply it powers the following: HD's (as of now 2; 1 WD Raptor and 1 Seagate 7200.9), 1 120mm fan and the ATI HD4850
I don't think Im starving the system of power...
im installing windows vista 64 (yeah, yeah, XP is more stable, but I had an ABIT A8N nforce4SLI, Athlon X2 3800 OC's, 2GB Patriot DDR, 2x Geforce 7800GT OC's on SLI and 4 HD's, and I never had any problems, and I had the CPU running on stock cooler and stock voltage. and I had VISTA 32, and 64 and never since I bought it ever give me problems, i could OC everything from CPU, memory, HT, PCI-e, etc.
why this board is so bad?
this is the current ERROR i have just now:
"A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval..."
technical info. ***STOP: 0X00000101 (0X0000000000000031, 0X0000000000000000, 0XFFFFF980012C6180, 0X0000000000000001)
I did enable promise controller and used the 2 HD on the ports controlled by it as JOBD each, the RAM is @ 1066mhz, voltage as recomended 2.1v and I did try to OC the processor just to try, since that is the purpose of buying the Black edition 9950 to 15x200 @ 3000mhz 1.41v, everything else is on Auto.
before I get SCHOOLED by other users, yes I do want to OC the proc. I have installed vista 64 w/o OC the proc and it runs ok, but i still had random BSOD here and there... but since this is proclaimed the best board for OC the Phenom and AMD even pushes the SPIDER plataform and makes it easy to OC. I also just installed an after market heatsink (CoolerMaster Gemin II w/2 120mm 1200rpm) and the bios reports the CPU @ 29* C

No, that is not what I said. VistaX64 supports a lot of memory. Remember you have also a lot of memory on the video card. Your configuration might not, if the combination of the four sticks - of two different models - makes the system freeze.
Mixing memory is never good because it makes things harder for the processor (and it's memory controller).
You could still try reducing the speed of the memory, and/or increase the memory voltage a little bit.
I have 4 same memory moduls. I didn't mix modules. I just say, that same happens with my OLD 4 memory moduls(worked fine in my old motherboard Asus m2n-e sli), and with my new 4(exact same) modules.
Memory is on default speed....btw. These memory modules are DDR2-1066, but running on 800. Where should I lower speed more?

K9A2 Platinum/ problems adding 15k SAS to existing 15k SAS with Vista64 OS

This is my first build. I am trying to add a Fujitsu 15k SAS max3147rc to the existing max3147rc which has the Vista64 on it. Both disk are currently setup in the array under LD1 and LD2. This is the only way I was able to see the 2nd HD without formatting the existing HD which has the Vista 64 on it. Both show up in the arrray as Promise 1+0 Stripe/RAID0. The mode is 1+0 and raid is 0 for both drives.
Only the HD with Vista 64 shows up under my computer. Both drives show up under Disk Management. The one with OS is listed as NTFS and the other is listed as unallocatedand only has the option to make it a New Simply Volume.
Shouldn't both of these drives be on LD1 in raid0 for the fastest speed? How can it be done without formatting the drive with Vista 64 on it
Also, here is a link to a diagram of the SAS cable pinout.

Bandwidth is useless when latency kicks in.
As IDE drives have a typical latency of 8~10 ms where SAS has 3~4 ms, there is no way IDE will pass SCSI bandwidth or not.
Except when you use 1 task, but a modern PC doesn't do that.
As for money on a decent RAID-controller, IDE (SATA) will not beat SCSI (SAS), no way on earth.
For click-open only access-time matters, bandwidth is second.
For AVI decoding/encoding bandwidth matters, as you have large continues files.
In my test you need to do more then 1 thing, as is common practice today, I used large files (you could use small) as they show you the difference enormously.
Try it and find out, most people that are not used to SCSI drives believe IDE can beat it.....sorry but it's not the case.
Raptors are old poor performing drives when it comes to SCSI, and the controller won't help you....try a real SCSI (SAS) Raid, it will blow you from your feet
Test under linux, gimme the results of your drives in seconds:
Code: [Select]
dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/out.dat bs=1M count=1024
Afer every test, delete the out.dat, show the result screen, then I will show the one for the forum, that has 2 SCSI drives in software-raid1

MOVED: K9A2 Platinum - HT and PCI-E speeds in bios???

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.

Quote from: Bleek on 30-November-07, 20:35:07
Firstly thanks for the quick reply!
In my experience PCI-E speeds effect stability, sometimes raising just past 100MHz actually increases stability.
AMD OverDrive seems to have a few limits (unless its user error) whereby it limits the voltage I can use, max of 1.35 which isn't enough. I take it the OverDrive does allow me to alter HT speeds however?
Is that bios tested? If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D
Thanks in advance.
" I take it the OverDrive does allow me to alter HT speeds however?"
simply install it and go and see
"Is that bios tested? If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D"
"Is that bios tested?"
some users is using it, without problems if you asking that.
"If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D"
maybe yes, maybe no.. BIOS flashing is always risky, if you decide to use it do it at own risk.
else just be patient and wait for official version.

I would probably consider not being able to turn the TLB errata fix off a problem. Going from the original BIOS (v1.0 I think) to 1.3 lowered my computers performance by about 10%ish. This includes FPS in games and all 3DMark scores.
Now it could be something totally different causing the lowered performance as I do not know when MSI added the "fix". I never run virtualization programs so the fix does only harm in terms of performance.
I did ask MSI about the posibility to disable TLB fix in BIOS and this what they answered:

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for contacting MSI Technical Support.
We will make a specifal Customer BIOS version for you.In this BIOS you can Enable and Disable the TLB errata fix(Add this Option for you).Please wait some days.If we complete it and we will contact you ASAP.
Best wishes
MSI Technical Support Team
And today they sent:

Please download the Customer BIOS version(A7376ACI.101 which add the item of TLB) from MSI User FTP.

I was just wondering if anyone has any info if MSI will make a more robust bios after 1.5 that will support overclocking of CPU voltages. As it is I can only get 2.8 GHZ on my phenom 9850 because of the inability to up CPU voltages.My friend has the newest ASUS board which has a much better bios and he's been able to overclock his 9850 to 3.36 stable with almost identical hardware to mine.
If you are refering to the newest 790GX boards: they will simply overclock the CPU higher than a 790FX board will, because of the ACC (Advanced Clock Calibration) function of the new SB750 southbridge. Not really a matter of BIOS options, but a matter of a newer chipset...
You would probably match the results of the new ASUS board using the new MSI board, the DKA790GX Platinum for example...

Enter SafeMode and DeviceManager. What relevant mouse(s) and possibly HID-devices do you find?
The skipping mouse can come from an auto-starting program or virus. That is something that would not be seen in SafeMode, too.

Yes of course you can if your board supports 8GB. 32bit OS is restricted to just under 4GB.
But that should not stop you from being able to run multiple 32bit applications simultaneously. Each app just cannot address more than 4GB.
and as far as that memory goes, in a 2 X 2GB set up you should be able to run it at 1066 if you want.
In a 8GB setup, 800 would be the more stable option.

What works good on one board doesn't always work on another.
Take a look at the other user signatures on this and other forums and look for users with the same motherboard, see what memory they're using.
Don't mix and match memory, pick a brand and part number and stick with it. If you change brands, or part numbers within a brand, change ALL
of your memory to that brand/ part number.
If your running dual channel, buy matched pairs, They're matched at the factory to work together, and will have closer to identical specs than two sticks
you buy separately.
Check your memory manufacturer's website for compatibility with your motherboard (OCZ doesn't list your motherboard on their site, but it's a new board , so it might be worth a call).
Search for reviews of your motherboard or the memory your thinking about purchasing and see if any of the sites have used your motherboard and/or memory for a review.
If it's a popular motherboard, odds are somebody will be using it as a test bed, If your lucky, they used or reviewed the memory your interested in, on your board.
Hang out here for a bit and see if anyone is using or tried your motherboard/memory combination.

Houston, we have a problem.. My new K9A2 Platinum will not install an OS

I purchased a K9A2 Platinum (Version 1) and everything went fine with the hookup and install until I went to install the OS.
Here's the set up:
1) 9600 Phenom
2) 4 GB A-Data DDR2 800 RAM (2 2GB Sticks)
3) Diamond HD3870 Video Card.
4) 260 GB WD Caviar Sata Drive
5) LG 18x DVD
note I also Have a 160 GB PATA WD Caviar as well.. more about the in a minute.
I hooked everything up Sata drive as Sata 1 and DVD as Sata 2,
Checked BIOS to be sure everyone was recognized.
Tried to install Vista 64 bit.
Entered Location, activations etc..
and Install began
1) Copied files
2) Expanded files
3) Updated system
(no errors occured during these steps)
System rebooted and got the message Windows is booting for the first time etc...
Then to the finalizing Installation line, which... well.. never gets final (I've left it on that screen for 3+ hours).. Sometimes it locks up.
I tried installing Windows XP and I get through all of the installation, but when it reboots to WIndows from the DVD.. It can't find the OS..
I installed the PATA drive and tried installing Vista to it with no difference in the results. I suspect I am doing something stupid here (I have done this before.. it's my fifth build and never a problem before). A note that on the PATA if I use the Chip Select jumper (Out of the box settings) Everything's recognized but it sets it up as a slave. IF I set it as a lone master the BIOS recoginizes it, but windows doesn't. If I set it up as a master.. the system doesn't post. I am going to try to install XP on the PATA and see if that works, However I want to run Vista on this beast, so even if it does, well I still need help..
Yes I promise, this is all a cry for help... If anyone has any ideas I'd surely be apreciative.. In fact I'd be so appreciative I'd help you remove an garbage (viruses, spyware etc..) for free (ok I do that for free anyway.. I'm cajuntek everywhere I go on the net.. You can find me in the Security Cleanup forum at dslreports most often.. Thanks again for any help you guys can provide on this.

I don't trust [Auto] Vmem in the BIOS.
First, Cajuntek, I would try beta BIOS 1.33.
You can download it from http://www.magnaroute.com/deliver/
This BIOS has been very stable for me, MSI Tech Support gave it to me to attempt to solve memory stability I have had with 4x dual rank memory modules. It doesn't fix that problem but it does make the system more stable and compatible over the publicly released BIOSes as far as I can tell.
I would also suggest you put in a fixed voltage value in the BIOS for your memory. I use 2.3V because I am overclocking. You can probably use 2.0V or 2.1V. It is possible that the [Auto] setting may be giving your system too little voltage on the memory and that may be causing your lockup.

K9A2 Platinum Boot Problems

Dose any one know why I cant' boot from the DVD drives that I have connected to The SATA ports 5&6, I can see the drive in the CMOS boot order and I chose the first DVD Drive (Port 5) as the first boot disk. Is it even Possible to boot from the Promise T3 Controller on the MB (K9A2 Platinum V1). I am using the other controller (sb600) for a RAID 0=1 Array. I ma trying to install windows 7 rc.
In order to install XP Pro I had to temp in an IDE CD/DVD drive on the MB IDE Connector

Maybe the DVD-device has a problem, as in not working all that well.
One troubleshooting step would be to try a different port, 5-6 is aimed at RAID it says on the home page:
