MSI AMD Boards/K9N6PGM2-V AMD co-processor driver

Acknowledging that this is an older board, K9N6PGM2-V (MS-7309-090), I hope there is some hope of help available.
I built this PC a number of years ago with an AMD Athlon II X2 240 CPU (2.8) and it has been as solid as a rock, running Win XP-Pro, since I first hit the switch. I was so impressed with how stable the M.S.I. A.M.D. system was, I built another, more powerful, system based on the same platform. The machine also has an MSI N430GT MD2GD3 video card. I recently upgraded the OS to Win 7 32 bit HP. I have downloaded and run the following files from the MSI site:
M7309 v1.2.zip
mcp_732_mb.zip
nvidia_30697_8732_vga.zip
The B.I.O.S. are the original, as shipped. I would, if necessary, flash the B.I.O.S. with the latest version.
There are 2 issues:
1. Device Manager shows an alert with the co-processor (no driver installed). An alert I have never seen before. I assume that all I need is the correct .inf file, but I can't seem to find it.
2. There are 4 Gb of R.A.M. installed (2x2 Gb D.D.R.2 PC2-6400 Un-Buffered NON-E.C.C. Crucial), which Win 7 recognizes, but the system only shows 3.25 Gb usable. It was my intention to use 8 Gb. of R.A.M. (4 Gbx2), since the both the Mainboard and the OS will support it. I'm just not sure about the memory controller. I checked the A.M.D site, but couldn't find the specifications on this older C.P.U. There would be no point to installing 8 Gb if I can't use more than 3.25 Gb. I don't know if this is a problem with the co-processor not having a driver, or if some, but not all of the chip-set drivers installed properly.
I hope I have provided enough information, but, if not, please advise.
Any help anyone out there can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply. It's encouraging to know that there are people here who care about others who are having problems.
The MB was purchased new, not 'refurbished' or used.
I checked the MB, as per the photo shown. It is without question K9N6PGM2-V. The label on the B.I.O.S. chip is pale green, as in the photo. With a magnifying glass, I can clearly see 'A7309' on the top row and either 'NMS940' or 'NMS94()' (can't be sure which, it's really small).
The file 'M7309v1.2.zip' is the MB manual.
As I suggested to 'badboy2k' in a previous post, I decided to re-run the 'mcp_732_mb.zip' file (System & Chipset Drivers). This time I saw dialog boxes I didn't see the first time. Surprise, surprise, there is no longer a 'co-processor' error in Device Manager. I guess something didn't run the first time. It also offered to install the nvidia ForceWare Ethernet configurator, which I didn't get the first time. So it looks like my lesson is, if it doesn't do it right the first time, run the setup again.
The PC is now running fine, with no warnings in Device Manager.
Thanks again to all who helped.
T.

AMD Processor Driver

I have seen comments about installing AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver. I looked on the AMD site and downloaded The XP version 1.1.0.1 and I am just wondering if I really need to install this.
Everything is running fine except Cool n Quiet, the comments I have seen are talking about Cool n Quiet. MY system does not go down to 800mhz when inactive, it always stays at 2000mhz or 2200mhz if I OC

Hi Bilbo
Although I do not have the MSI Board (RMA-ed it for the ASUS k8V Deluxe)
I have been using Cool n' Quiet as well as turned on QFan in the BIOS and have no problems at all . Have you enabled Cool n' Quiet in the BIOS Advanced>CPU Configuration>AMD CPU Cool & Quiet Configuration to ON? as well as in the Power menu in the BIOS enabled ACPI 2.0 Support and after booting into windows under Power Schemes selected Minimal Power Management ?
Since QFan is a separate process that takes control I have noticed when first loading windows or rebooting and during the running of applications like checkdisk that operate outside of windows. When QFan runs it is indeed full speed on the CPU fan.
However after windows loads and depending on the CPU tasking the CPU Fan now controlled by the Cool n' Quiet will actually slow the fan rpm's and if there is not much demand on the CPU and the temp is not high (at the threshold) the fan will even go OFF for periods of time. Right now I have been running my machine for about 4 hours and the CPU fan is OFF and my temps are: CPU temp 55C and the Mobo temp is at 33C.
My case is an Artec 868 and I have 2 rear outtake fans that run continuously as well as a side panel intake fan that runs continuously , the power supply fan, and just recently added a Zerus PCI slot fan (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=133211&Sku=Z19-1028&CatId=804) ---that helps suck out warm air from inside the case at the bottom (placed it below my Aver TV capture card and NVidia 5200 AGP card-had to move a few cards around ) that really lowered my overall case temp by 10C.
Hope this info helps
Cheers!

MSI AMD FM1 A55-P33 - won't install windows 7 32bit

Hi there,
we have board the MSI AMD FM1 A55-P33 motherboard but for some reason we cannot install windows 7 32bit on it.
What does install flawlessly is:
All Windows7 64bit
Windows 7 Starter 32bit
We ( and also the local supplier here in South Africa ) have test the following components:
Power Supply
Ram
Ram Ports
Alternate Ram Manufacturer
DVD Writer
Hard Drives
Graphics Card
Onboard Graphics Alone
Board is running latest bios update.
and it still does not install.
They supplier has ordered in and tested the same model motherboard and it still does not install.
For me that means it could be the motherboard model or the cpu ( which is still being ordered in so an alternate can be tested )
When i say doesn't install, it installs until the very end where the installation restarts and goes into the installation one last time to finalize things
and then it throws a error and you can't complete the installation.
The local supplier has had the computer for 2weeks now with no success,
I was hoping someone here could assist us with a few suggestions.
Thanks to any advice given .

what is the exact error received?

2 unrelated questions. Prob w/ Adjust CPU VID in BIOS - AMD Processor Driver

First up, I just checked the BIOS section "Adjust CPU VID" for the first time and the default setting is at 1.500v. I never touched it. I have a Venice core (Revision E) and the stock voltage as far as I know is supposed to be 1.35v. And despite all that Everest is telling me the cpu core is at 1.39v right now. Is the BIOS not setting my voltage correctly?
Second, are you supposed to have the AMD Processor Driver installed? I didnt even know about it until I stumbled across it on AMD's site. I assume I've been running on some kind of Windows default processor driver all this time. Would the direct from AMD version increase performance, stability etc?

Hi Liver Kick,
yep your right on 1.35v though AMD post it as "variable" in the Thermal and Electrical Specification of 8th generation AMD Processors Page 6
The reason it's there as variable is probably found from Syar's post Re: Power of the Press - Neo4 Bios Issue - MSI Acknowledged Issue!
so Quote
Is the BIOS not setting my voltage correctly?
- No, Guess it will be fixed when the bios updates are sorted. The winnie was the same for a while, b4 the bios was changed.
There are 2 AMD drivers if you mean AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Driver for Windows XP x64 Edition and Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions Version (exe) 1.2.2.1 This is for cool'n'quiet & isn't needed. Windows XP takes care of the 2nd see the processor tab in windows device manager.

AMD Phenom Processor not supported by 2.0 beta

After trying out the slow and very bug ridden 2.0 beta on my old windows XP 32 bit version computer, we decided to try the 64 bit version on my new 64/128 bit computer under XP pro SP2. After a few seconds it decides the "processor is not supported".
This is a AMD Phenom processor with an AMD video card running parallel with the onboard video processor. It is reccommended by AMD for compatability on their website. I have 8 Gigs of ram installed. It should just fly, but won't even finish loading.
Has anyone else gotten this message? Will Adobe support the new AMD graphics processors and CPUs? I really do like some of the things lightroom can do but we need it to run fast and not crash, choke, ect.

Your processor is 64 bit but your OS, if it's XP Pro SP2, is not. You need the 32 bit version.

I am lookinat buying an Aspire Netbook with 4 gig ram, dual core amd c70 processor and windows 8, wi

am looking at buying an Aspire Netbook with 4 gig ram, dual core amd c70 processor and windows 8, will it run my cs5 suite

Mark,
Adobe generally requires a minimum CPU clock speed of 2.0 GHz or higher in order to run CS5 or higher. Unfortunately, the AMD C70 CPU in that netbook operates at only 1.0 GHz, which is far below Adobe's minimum requirement. In addition, even if it did run Premiere Pro CS5, performance will be excruciatingly slow, not only due to the extremely weak CPU, but also due to the complete lack of a discrete GPU with CUDA capability. As such, that system, if it even runs Premiere Pro CS5 at all, would be at least 80 to 100 times slower (in terms of the Relative Performance Index (RPI) in Bill Gehrke's and Hard Millaard's PPBM5 tests) than even a mediocre quad-core desktop PC, let alone a fast overclocked i7 monster PC.

AMD Fusion Processor

Is there any way to get an AMD Fusion Processor in the macbook air? Or is Mac looking to put AMD in the macbook air soon? I find Intel's Graphics Very poor, especially in comparison and i don't mind the CPU trade-off

You aren't the only one.
In his biography, Steve Jobs said that Intel's graphics "suck", and Intel doesn't innovate well and "doesn't listen". He also indicated that Intel's processors are power suckers.
Read Steve's bio. I think it is on page 493 or 497 or something like that. Well, if Steve Jobs (and we all know he wasn't shy about making big industry-changing decisions) decided to give Intel the boot for sucking at graphics in the Macbook Air, it certainly would explain why Intel is paying all the PC makers to make underpriced clones of the Macbook Air to cut into Air sales?
Did anyone see that demonstration at CES where Intel faked video game play by "playing" a recorded video of a video game on VLC player? Yes, I guess that's what Steve meant by "suck" graphics.

AMD FX processor incompatible with Steam

A few months ago I purchased a brand new HP desktop with a top of the line AMD FX processor. However, it seems that there are some issues with them and the gaming platform Steam. Several games won't run, such as Total War: Shogun 2, on an AMD FX processor. This is a known issue by AMD, and all major motherboard companies have fixed their BIOS to address the issue. (See: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/STEAMGamesonAMDFXplatforms.aspx ) However, since HP customizes their motherboards, none of these fixes will work. When will HP be addressing this issue? I've sent multiple tickets and emails on this so far.
Thanks
This question was solved.

Ok. It looks like the BIOS for your PC has been updated (I believe this is the BIOS for your PC, but double-check model in the page heading and the OS version just to be sure):

OCI 9.0.1 and AMD Athlon Processor

Hello,
I have a client who is using an Oracle 8.1.7 server and is connecting from workstations running OCI 9.0.1 (the 9i R1 client). This is working fine except for on one workstation. The only known difference with this machine is that it is using an AMD Athlon processor (all the others are Intel processors).
The behavior appears to be that for floating point numbers, Oracle/OCI is telling our product that the numbers are integer numbers (no decimals). Thus, my application is not displaying the decimal places (since it is being told there are none).
All other workstations work fine.
Any ideas? I am wondering if there is a known issue with the AMD Athlon processor and the oracle 9.0.1 client...? I am attempting to convince the user to try the 9.0.2 client, but I don't want to waste his time.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Rob

Thanks Adrian.
I'll try to get him to run a straight select, but I don't even know if they installed SQL-Plus on the machine. He hasn't exactly been cooperative (I've asked him to check other areas of my application and he doesn't) so I don't know what he will do.
As for the sqlnet.ora file, I am not sure what to look for in there...? or do you suggest blowing it away and starting over?
Thanks again,
Rob

For more recent update list, click here:

Thanks for the response, it was the reply I didn't want to hear but was totally expecting.
I have accepted that the only way forward now is a motherboard upgrade.
The downside of this is that I have lost faith in MSI, and while I recognize that the fault here lies with the retailer who sold me this bundle I do not wish to be burned againi.
If anyone can recommend an MSI Motherboard capable of running the FX-6100 for a reasonable price, and can vouch that the throttling does not happen without the need for a third party cooling solution... then I will look into it. If not I have found a Gigabyte branded motherboard capable of 125w CPU's with good reviews for a similar price to the 760GM-P23.

CS5 Compatibility with AMD E350 Processor

I just opened up my new computer and I realized it didnt have a CD Drive. Later looking into the specs I failed to check if the CS5 Design Premium Suite will run on my AMD Fusion E350 Processor ( 1.60GHz 1MB ) APU. Its an 11.6 inch netbook with a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. 3GB of RAM and plenty of Hard Drive Space. But I am mainly asking if the AMD E350 Processor is enough to run the CS5 Suite (Mainly Photoshop) well.
PS. If you know how to install photoshop cs5 without a built-in CD Drive any advice would be helpful.

Yes, it will run. When I travel, I take a HP DM1Z-3000 along that is loaded with PSCS 5, Illustrator CS5, and LR 3.5. That HP line uses the AMD E350 Fusion processor. Is it as fast as my HP DM4 laptop with an I5 processor - no, but it will get the job done. The bottleneck for you will be the RAM, not the processor. It really is quite fast and very energy efficient. My recommendation would be to up the RAM and you will have something that will work quite well. I upgraded the RAM of both machines to 8 GB (quite cheap at this point), and even the little DM1Z can run circles around my 2 year old Core2Duo laptop that now sits on a shelf. For comparison, the old Core2Duo laptop also has 8 GB of RAM and it is simply not as responsive as the DM1Z....
