Have you done a new fresh installation?
Latest DX installed?(https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114542.0), January 2008
Sound HW acceleration at full?
Does the sound shuttering happend with specified game or?
Can you try those drivers ==>  X-Fi series XP Beta Driver(9 Jan 08) http://files2.europe.creative.com/manualdn/Drivers/AVP/10469/0xE545059D/SBXF_PCDVRBETA_LB_2_14_0001.exe
Those drivers say that there isn't a supported device installed in the system, I've installed that DirectX pack you linked me to but no change unfortunatley - I kind of doubted it would change anything anyways since this XP has every update upto February 2008 installed from the CD already. Hardware acceleration is on full right now yes. I am going to try uninstalling everything and moving it to a PCI-e x16 slot and reinstalling to see if that makes a difference now.

    Bomberh,
      My bad...was thinking of the P6N Diamond..the P7N Diamond does NOT have the VTT option in Cell Menu.  Just for info, I had .500 volts on my e6750 on stock air cooling and it posted 3600mhz and the CPU temp in bios never exceeded 32 deg C.  So, what you have to do is raise the voltage to the CPU to give it a little "oomphh" to get into post and the OS.  Your Arctic cooler should be able to handle it..try 1333, increase voltage in cell menu to .375 and see what happens?  Up to .500 volts with a good air cooler w/adequate heat paste should be quite safe.  You should always stop in bios to check the Hardware Monitor and record what the CPU and System temps are when O/Cing...if you see a steadily increasing temperature you will have plenty of time to pull the plug..lol.  Keep us posted.  Like Aaron said..it's all about trial and error.

    Absolutely nothing helps. NOTHING. I have tried every possible thing you could expect normal user to try. This mainboard is crap. I got this to almost work with some (very expensive) Kingston memory sticks which were mentioned somewhere with this board, it only crashes few times a day now! Every component is tested at reseller AND replaced with some other brand. No help.

  • P7N Diamond won't boot with new Intel Q9400

    Hi
    I recently bought a new Intel Q9400 CPU to replace my old Q9450 that was broken and causing the computer to freeze. I tried to install the new Q9400 CPU and the computer would not boot. The red LED on the mobo was on. When I pressed the on button the fans span for about half a second but then stopped and the machine shut down. I have replaced it with a firend's E8400 and it boots fine again.
    Before I installed the Q9400 I flashed the BIOS to v1.4 so I was confident that it would work but it didn't. After it didn't work I cleared the CMOS and it still didn't work.
    Is there a compatibility issue with P7N Diamond and this CPU? My mobo is revision 1.0, does this make a difference? If not then I suppose the CPU must have been DOA and I'll need to RMA it.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Very unusual for a CPU to become "broken"--more likely the PC developed another problem? I'd test the 9450 on another system too if I were you.

    I'm on the original bios, 1.10. I would have tried updating to the 1.90 Linux bios version, but have been frightened off by the need, reported here, to put in the original OS recovery DVD and revert to that.
    When I'm confident that I can make a copy of the existing 9.04 Ubuntu installation and recover back to that afterwards, I might look at updating the bios.
    Does the later bios actually make much difference? A quick browse of what info is available doesn't reveal much. Of course, often if there is a huge mistake in early versions "they" prefer not to highlight it.
    I'm limited by not having easy access to a USB DVD drive, so I'm trying to work with thumb drives or across the network.

    I've never seen it, but I did read this on extremesystems
    "Current performance BIOS is P07, based off of 1.1B6. This BIOS is known to solve multiplier issues with Yorkfield / Wolfdale chips. P09, which should carry over 1.1B8's new voltage settings, should be out shortly. "

    First off:
    Learn how Intel's Core 2 architecture works.  Basically: how the FSB calls the shots, how Vdrop needs to be compensated for, etc..
    >>Core 2 Duo/Quad OC Guide<<
    If you wish to go more advanced (after doing the above, obviously), you can start tweaking with GTLREF and FSB VTT voltages:  >>GTLREF and FSB VTT Voltage Tweaking<<
    VGA card overclocking is another story...  NVIDIA and ATI differ in both ways.  With NVIDIA, getting the GPU and/or shader clock speed higher help most.
    It would be better to overclock one card at a time, then go with the lowest overall clock speeds for both - upon completion - test them together (the thermals will play MUCH more a case here, so watch those temps while running SLI and the overclock).

    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=128705.0

    Yep, CPU-Z version 1.51 is what I have installed.  It kind of stinks that 3.7G's is the highest folks can get this board.  I know many folks get the E8500 well past 4+G's, but I'll be happy with a stable 3.7G's.  I really wanted to keep with BIOS overclocking, I just thought maybe I was doing something wrong.  Any suggestions on some sort of performance testing I can do at default settings then at my overclock settings so I can verify I'm getting a performance increase?
    Thanks for the reply!!!!!!!

    P.S. Oh yea, my VID is 1.2250v... I knew I had it written down!

    Bomberth,
    Please see the XS thread on the P7N for lots of OC tips and assistance:
    http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=178286
    Assuming you have a good Q6600 (preferably G0 stepping) and proper cooling, you should have no trouble OCing on this board.

    Malik,
      If you can, dont use Ntune..it causes more problems than it's worth.  Download the new System Tools, and just install the Performance Tools.  It offers better OC options, including shader sliders and is much more reliable than Ntune was.  Ths only glitch in the Performance Toos, is that you must run your shader at least twice your GPU core speed or it will give you an "invalid setting" message.  Nvidia needs to provide an unlink button, or, just link the sliders.
    Oh, and you should set all your FSB sttings in bios, not in Ntune or Performance tools.

  • P7N Diamond - Can't boot with 4GB Ram (no picture)

    I wonder if there's any settings I need to modify in order to make my system to work with 4 gigs of ram (4x1GB) ?
    Is there any known issues I should be aware of?
    I really appreciate any help I can get!

    Sorry about the lack of info, I tend to rush things when I get frustrated.
    I bought two kits at the same time, as far as I know they are identical. I haven't played around with the BIOS apart from adjusting the voltage to 2.1 (which didn't improve the situation)
    It does boot fine with two sticks, as well as three.
    Any BIOS settings that comes to mind?
    Let me know if you need more info!

  • Problems with P7N Diamond

    Very Sorry if i upset you!
    MSI P7N Diamond  Ver: 1.1 with Bios 1.3
    2x1 Gb Corsair xms2 PC2 6400 tested and works on same board but not this one.
    2x500Gb Samsung F1
    Win XP Pro SP3
    cannot update bios to 1.4 from 1.3
    Tried USB method, CD, Floppy even safe mode command prompt.....disabled everything but the drives with bios files( usb,cd,floppy) but it still it finds the disabled Hardisk and boots into windows.
    Memory will not work in Dual channel...sometimes it boots but nothing on screen.
    Single channel boots most times but after trying USB or CD method it sometimes does not boot into windows.
    Tried online too but only comes up with 1.3 bios
    MSI support is none existent or impossible to get any sense out of them...after repeating my name and email address several times over the telephone i am still not sure if they understood.
    I have filled in the online report system 3 times over the last two weeks but no reply and nothing active in box although it says report complete after submitting.
    Have tried all the ways stated on updating bios.
    I have updated many bios's on various boards, ASUS, ASrock, Aopen, Biostar etc no problems! Even modded bios on Asus boards.

    Against my better judgment, I'm going to reply to this.  By your own admission, the motherboard was functioning fine in single channel mode.  Your issue only occurred under attempts to operate in dual channel mode.  Considering the real world benefits of dual channel memory are arguably negligible, one could remark it's such a minor technical detail, that nobody need b infatuated over it.
    Indeed, again by your own admission, the problems were resolved after you disassembled and reassembled the system with different cables.  Since your arrival, you've been quick to hijack other threads, spew frustration and venom over your issue, and vent agitation against the trouble and bother with all this crap you've had to endure.  Yet, all along, it seems there really was no defect at all on MSI's part.
    You've taken the time to customize your profile avatar with a nice Leeds United animation, but can't be trifled to actually learn about how your equipment operates and how to troubleshoot and optimize it.  So it's so long and farewell and thanks for nothing, hmph!  That's quite a remarkable attitude.
    Good luck with your future Asus adventures.  Perhaps you'll be more satisfied with that choice, perhaps not.  My sense is people with unhappy, wretched personalities will have the odds against them. 
    Oh, and please don't fool yourself that you have so much more of a life to live and real work to get done than anyone else here.  You know nothing about the forum members here, but your demeanor reveals the type of life you have.  I, for one, don't envy you one bit.
    Take a look at reviews of this Motherboard you will see that most people come to the same opinion as myself.
    As for poor support it seems it is a bit hit and miss where ever you go. Some get good support some bad all from the same company.
    I have a nice life living in the English countryside with lots of friends, a dog, three cats and nice girlfriend of many years. A massive garden full of fruit trees, fields full of horses both front and back and good neighbours.
    Thanks for your good wishes and have a nice week-end your self.
