If system stopped at Windows loading it is most likely your Win XP. Try a fresh install.
nah nah man
there is NOTHING On the screen NOW
THIS HAPPENED before with my previous POWER SUPPLY ;(
but then a friend at a internet cafe discovered there were two plugs that go into the top of the mobo RIGHT Above the CPU
and he switched it around [ ive tried everything ]
LAST TIME We verified whats gone wrong
IT WAS THE CMOS battery *FACEPALM*
....anyway in other NEWS today ..... i finally download A green MSDN DVD with Server 2003 R2 32 bit and 64 bit iso including enterprise and standard.
i choose Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard with Service Pack 2 x64 becoz i tried the enterprise edition and the Drivers for The ATI RadeOn 5770 (1GB) 128 Bit DDR5 weren't installing [this was LONG back before the CMOS battery had to be changed]
i tried using compatibility mode but the device manager still showed an error.
should i just use the Microsoft 41611.iso from the GREEN MSDN DVD i found from The Pirate Bay
Thanks

it should do as it supports upto 200GB IDE hard drives so i wouldn't think a 20GB one would be any problem (just one question here where on earth did you get a 20GB IDE hard drive as i haven't seen one of them since around 1998?)!
i struck a Deal with a Guy on Gumtree {http://www.gumtree.co.za/fp-computers-software-in-capetown-westerncape/c9199l3100001}
he wanted 2 Sticks of DDR2 RAM and he gave me 2 GB RAM DDR3. includin a 20 gig HDD and its a western digital.
Pls add me on Steam. so we can discuss further.

MSI DKA 790 GSX Platinum motherboard ports ?

I have recently purchased this board. It has on it a 15 pin VGA, 15 pin DVI and HDMI connections. What and how do we use these connections, if there is no video chipset on the board? Does the HDMI pull audio and video from the onboard onoard video (doesnt exist) and onboard audio (Disabled) as i have a soublaster PCIe card installed for sound.
Thanks
GigaByte69

Should've gone to bed instead of posting. It was 3AM and got it in my head that we were discussing the NF980. But, there is an integrated GPU. I believe it is the 790. The board can not have hybrid Crossfire without having oboard of some sort--be it integrated in chipset or separate chip on the MOBO. The 790GX has integrated video in the chipset.
MSI, nor any other manufacturer, is going to put display connectors in the I/O ports unless it has onboard. You do need to install the chipset drivers to fully use the capabilities of the ports.

DKA 790 GX - 3 Questions

hello there!
i just recently built up my new pc with the following specs:
CPU: AMD PHENOM X4 9950 - 4 x 2,6 GHz
MAINBOARD: MSI DKA 790 GX MS-7550 v1.0 - AMI BIOS v1.20
RAM: 2 x 2 GB DDR2-1066 5-5-5-18 OCZ Platinum
GPU: XFX GTX 260 BLACK EDITION - 216 STREAM-PROC. - 666 MHz - 896 MB RAM - Forceware 180.84
HD: 2 x SATA II SAMSUNG HD501LJ 500 GB - 1 TB RAID
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit v6.0.6001 - Service Pack 1 (1.0)
PSU: be Quiet Straight Power E5 550W (3.3V:32A - 5V:30A - 12V:41A), 3.3V+5V:170W - 12V:492W
3DMARK 2006: 12850 (Default Settings)
now i have 3 Questions:
1) bios
does the newer bios v1.40 version make my system more stable, give a better perfomance or whatsoever?
right now my system runs just fine and everything works like it should. some bluescreens
while gaming, but only 1 every 5 days when i really played for hours.
I didn't find any information about it on the msi webpages.
would you recommend updating the bios?
2) drivers
i only installed the msi raid driver for vista and the realtek hd audio driver.
do i need to install the catalyst driver if i don't use the internal GPU?
windows hardware info shows no errors or problems.
would the driver make my system more stable or faster or more compatible ?
3) audio
right now i use the internal realtek sound chip as it has 7.1 and hd audio capabilities with high
frequency rates. i also read something about EAX HD support.
i also still have my old creative audigy 2 zs platinum pro PCI Card.
for better perfomance is it recommended to install the old AUDIGY 2 ZS or is the realtek chip
sufficient enough or even better?
besides, are there any more hints how to improve my new system (bios tweaks like aperture size..
or special options that need to be turned on for better performance when the system is stable) ?
thanks!
Ralph

i dont want to install the ati graphics driver, only the necessary system drivers.
i chose custom install and it comes up with:
X ATI Catalyst Install Manager 3.0.694.0 20 MB
X North Bridge Filter Driver 1.02.0 1 MB
X RAIDXpert 2.4.15 100 MB (100 MB for a Raid Driver ??)
X AVIVO64 9.15.0 3 MB
X Microsoft Visual C++ 200... 7.3.0.0 10 MB
Looks like the installer has already determined you don't need to install the ATI display driver.

(anyway wondering why i need an ati driver when the system is msi/amd for system drivers)
ATI are now part of AMD. Catalyst drivers are now unified for ATI/AMD chipsets.

- what the .... is a 100 MB RaidXpert ? My System runs fine with my Raid Array set up in the Bios.
AMD RAIDXpert Easily configure your RAID setup from remote locations to personalize your media for extra performance or enhanced reliability.
If you don't need this feature, don't install it.

Anyone using asus silent knight II on msi DKA 790GX platinum?

hihi..
anyone using asus silent knight II on msi DKA 790GX platinum?
anyway to orient the air flow to horizontal setting. cos right now my cpu cooler was shooting up warm air to my power supply.
thanks

Oh I see.. now then know that it's ATX standard. thanks.
then how about the rear fan, is it functioning the same as PSU fan?
or is the rear fan's function is to suck out the whole system's warm air?
It's to help getting hot air out, but that is added by case builders.
Here you have the original specs: http://www.formfactors.org/developer%5Cspecs%5Catx2_2.pdf
Case builders added extra fans because ATX standards aren't good enough for high-end systems.
However, ATX is designed to let the PSU suck out the hotair...
Anything you add to it makes it all cooler and doesn't hurt.
You should know that AMD CPU's do not get very hot at all, it's the Intels that do, especial the Pentium4, so case builders created all sorts of solutions to cool them down as ATX wasn't sufficient for the P4.
Even Intel made a new spec BTX, but that wasn't accepted by builders.

MSI DKA 790GX Platinum problem

Hi !, its my first time i post a new message !, im a french guys and english its my second language... so i will try to do my best...
I bought last week a MSI DKA 790GX Platinum with Amd Phenom 2 940...
I set up all my new pc with OCZ Fatality 4 x 1g ddr2 1066 and WD 640g SATA and a Ultra 600w
First think i saw when i get out the MoBo of the plastic bag, 3 pins of the Flat circu-pipe are broken, i found the 3 spring in the bag... (i can take picture...) but the flat circu pipe stay in place with 1 pin and maybe thermal compound (no sure)... anyway the pc start #1
at the start of the pc i got the unknown processor msg like everyone cause i have the 1.2 bios version
im using the onboard VGA for bios setting,format and install Vista business 64bit.
Come on the forum and use the USB Flash technic... i do everythink you say... work perfectly, bios update to 1.6...
After a reboot like its say a the end of the bios update... I got cmos error... and cant boot anymore
i tryed to clear my cmos error with the button on the MoBo... nothing, or sometime... when i restart my pc... my screen show horizontal bar changing color to red to blue to yellow....
after 30-45min wasting time for reboot,/clear cmos/ remove battery... nothing...
I put my 8800 gt in the pci-e and magiccc.... pc start #1... work perfectly...
so dont no what happend to my onboard vga with the 1.6 bios update
Next week i will get my sapphire 4870 1g ddr5... so dont no now if i will get problem :(
Dont no if anyone here got this problem and solved,
thank you

Bas, Thats not the answer
His onboard vga is disabled, on the 1.6 bios update MSI have decided to disable the onboard vga by default, meaning someone either has to go and get a pci-e gfx if they haven't got one or if they lucky enough to still have an old pci gfx they can use that, they need to release a fixed 1.7 bios (as there are other areas messed up).
johnmmclaine514,
if you've only just got the board and it was damaged, then i suggest you get it replaced, as you don't know what else could be wrong with it. And it's better to do it now as you can just do a straight swap, as later on you could be waiting for 28+ days to get it replaced.
the HD 4870 1GB should work fine, I'm running a HD 4870x2 2GB without any problems

Help with msi k8n nforce 4 platinum

recently my mobo msi k8n nforce4 platinum SLI burned. the northbridge chipset caught fire.
i found a used msi k8n nforce 4 platinum but NOT sli.
my processor is a 4400 amd socket 939 dual core.
os: windows vista with sp1.
1) i just installed the mobo and boot my pc. vista booted correctly, installed all the new controllers, restarted BUT from that moment i cant use the cool n quiet mode , vista shows that i have 16gb of ram!!! but i have only 2, and the mobo shows that the model of my 4400 is unknown so it cant show the one processor!! it olny shows one processor...
cool and quiet is enabled from the bios. but everest or amd power monitor shows 1,39 volt instead of 1,10 i used to have when the processor worked idle..
2) how can i change the rate of the ram in bios? in my previous mobo had specific option to choose between 1T or 2T. Now i cant find that option.. can you help me?
Thank you and sorry for my english...
bios version show on first screen 031105

sorry i didnt wrote the solution, i assumed you understood the bios issue.
my mobo had a bios with date 031105 now has the latest bios from the official site of msi
at the beginning a assumed that it had the latest bios because the guy i bought from told me that he had flashed the mobo with the latest bios so i didnt think to look for a bios from the beginning.

How do i set the ram settings to get the rams to run at 1066Mhz?
anyone can teach me? Thanks in Advance!

Quote from: jason1980 on 20-January-09, 09:03:04
the Dram timing mode, there is DCT 0, DCT 1 and both.
Which one should i use?
I need to change the voltage cos cpuz shows my ram running at 1.8V below the 2.1V needed to run at 1066Mhz.
Thanks, i will try.
CPU-Z is reading the SPD tables - it is not reading the actual VDIMM voltage.

Why MSI DKA 790GX platinum BIOS 1.7 dun have EEP mode for DRAM setting

hihi,
may i know why MSI DKA 790GX platinum BIOS 1.7 dun have EEP mode for DRAM setting?
cos i cant see EEP using CPUZ.

Quote from: Fredrik on 22-May-09, 09:15:00
I have no good answer, just a rule of thumb: After a BIOS updae, pull power cable out and clear CMOS.
In this thread it says Kingston may not have EPP settings, but if it worked previously... Perhaps the memory controller didn't understand you had that memory to begin with?
Better ask: Is everything the same, before and after update? Why did you update?
Quote:
1.7 Update Date 2009-03-31
Description - Update CPU module.
- Update memory module.
- Fixed SmartFan function cannot work properly after resume from S3.
i update to v1.7 because when i first plug in the 1066Mhz RAM, it only show 800Mhz in bios, so i update to v1.7 as the update include "update memory module".
anyway my system is fine, as i have run 8 hr of memtest.
just want to know why there's no EPP option in v1.7
p/s. I think i saw EPP option in v1.6 using the same RAM.

Msi S939 nf4 ultra sli pci-e live2 and windows SP2 ??? need help

Ok so i just bought Msi S939 nf4 ultra sli pci-e live2 and after i have installed the motherboard and everything went fine untill i installed Servise Pack 2. Does this motherboard even work with sp2? the problem is that when i boot my Pc it reboots before i can even get to windows, and giving an error that i can't read becose of that reboot, i have allso tryed to log in with safe mode but it does the same thing, what can i do? updating bios helps? i dont know what version i have, its the one that comes with the mb cd... PLEASE HELP ME !!!

First steps:
When opening a mobo from it box and before mounting it in your PC , clear cmos w/jumper (you never know whats stored on it in cmos from testing etc)
Next boot directly to bios when having it powered and load optimized defaults ( this sets ACPI/MPS/DMA etc. in usable values)
(some options are even not shown anymore , so make sure to load "Optimized Defaults" before continuing.
Restart it a few times until update DMI pool is no longer dispalyed in post screen.
Then proceed wit install of xp.
Installing windows xp .
To be "absolutely sure use F5 key when xp setup displays press F6 to load raid drivers .
Then you can select the correct HAL for your system .
With single core cpu select "ACPI Uniprocessor" and
with dual core select "ACPI Multiprocessor" .
This will ensure you have a xp installation and bios match for your system , and a troublefree win install.

Keyboard Not Present with my K8N Neo4 PCI-XPRESS (non SLI)

I need Help with My new MSI K8N Neo4 PCI-XPRESS (non SLI) motherboard. My Keyboard is not showing up during the post screen so I can't get into the BIOS or ANYTHING. Somebody help please.

This is the very same problem that I have with this board, even if you plus a ps2 keyboard and mouse in it does nothing, I had to disconnect the board completely from the power supply, leave it a few minutes and try it again, only then did it work, it only seemed to do this during my OS install, which as you can imagine was loads of fun
Try that out, it should sort your woes out.

Msi geforce4 mx 460 locking up pc, help!

here is what i have:
asus cuv4x mb, 667 mhz intel celeron, 256 mb ram
msi geforce4 mx 460
diamond pci sound card
some isa 10/100 card
windows xp pro
this is a fresh install of win xp, i tried the drivers on the msi cd, also the newest reference drivers from nvidia.com, that didn't help. i tried removing the sound card but no luck there. it mainly locks in games like GTA3 or NHRA Dragracing. it runs for about 30 seconds and locks. ctrl alt del doesn't work so i have to power down. it locks in windows also, but not as often. i don't see anything conflicting in my device manager. does anyone have anything i can try? thanks in advance!

oops, i must be a moron. under the 3.3v and 5v it says 120w, then under all the voltages (3.3v, 5v, 12v, -5v, -12, -9) it says 250w. so just to verify, i need one that has 200w with the 3.3v and 5v? or is it ok now? sorry...

HD or Booting problem on MSI K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum

Hi all,
Ive a weird issue which i cant figure out myself. I've 2 HD's..lets call them A and B where A = 60Gb (Master) and B = 80Gb (Slave)
It's is like this:
A and B are connected to the primary IDE-slot. A will boot when set as Master and B wont start booting when set as Slave mode (i mean, it wont show/appear in the first hardware (detection) bootscreen of yer BIOS where it says its present or the so called POST-screen), but if I set B as Master only (A turned off) it will boot.
What also happens is if I disconnect the power of drive B..drive A will boot..and while OS is loaded...I turn on the powercable from drive B and reboot..suddenly out of the blue it detects both HD's and reboots like it should do normally...but when i reboot from than..the same thing happens again..(it wont recognize B anymore)
Sumtime it regonizes both drives and sumtime it just won't and sumtimes just 1 drive..
Another thing, when it won't recognize one or sumtime both drives...the POST-screen gets stuck at the name and version of the BIOS...and where it says: 'detecting IDE drives...' when it is at this stage..and I press on the DEL-key for example..it's loading damn too slow..I've to wait about 10min before it enters the BIOS-setup..
I am 100% sure I set the jumper correctly for Master or Slave mode on my HD..I know there's sumthing wrong..but don't know where...Ive changed the jumper with a new one ..switched IDE-cables...switched HD's (set B as Master and A as Slave and vice versa, knowing there is no active partition on B..but only to check if it recognizes the drive)..in all cases..the BIOS settings are set as default!
any1 can help me out with this?
It worked smoothly on my system till i noticed my second MEM bank of my mobo broke (Asus A7N8X-E)..so i had to change it quickly (and went to the store with my warranty to fix this board..it was only 3 months old) ..since I've seen/had enough Asus mobo's in my life I went this time for an MSI which looks better in my opinion...so now i have an MSI K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum..it works fine...except that HD issue mentioned above
any help would be appreciated..thnx in advance!
cheers!

Hi,
I've done that already several times...it doesnt work..any other suggestions?
Now I can boot normally when I disconnect the power of the 2nd HD (or just any HD)...when the os is loaded...I turn back on the power of the 2nd drive and reboot...than it will run/boot/restart etc..normally...this is the only workaround I have at the moment...this only works when the system is turned a long time...
My power supply is 400W..so I don't think Ive any prob with that
cheers

Motherboard MSI K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum

Hello,
I'm brazilian and live in Rio de Janeiro.
I need urgent of the help of all you. I bought a Motherboard MSI K7N2 DELTA 2 PLATINUM, and I installed a porcessor AMD ATHLON XP 3200+ (BARTON) FSB 400. Please I want to install memoirs KINGSTON. The one that you find of installing two memoirs of 1GB each. I would like to have 2 GB of RAM. I researched in the site of Kingston and I found the reference KVR400X64C3AK2/1GB dual, but it is not in the list of the support of the MOTHERBOARD. I also found the reference KVR400X64C3AK2/512 single that is in the list of support of the MOTHERBOARD. Which would his/her suggestion be as for this subject? Do I buy these memoirs or other? Which is his/her suggestion?
At once I thank his/her attention.
Duarte.

Thank you for his answer.
Actually any memory of 1GB doesn't exist in the list of MSI, but memory of 512 MB, the reference is Kingston KVR400X64C3A. I chose Kingston because here in Brazil it is very well considered, and I thought about 2GB to have a great capacity of memory, but I got afraid of buying without having certainty of the compatibility with the MOTHERBOARD. But would thinking better be interesting to buy two memoirs of 512 MB and to do dual channel, what do you find? I think 2GB of memory are unnecessary, 1GB are already good. Would you recommend another memory? Or with different capacity? I await his answer.
Thanks!
Duarte
