Msi dka platinum problems with hdd discs

Hello.I got the board for a year now and lately im facing problems with the hdd`s.I have 3 new discs installed on but quite often they disappear completely causing windows(vista 64)to freeze.I asume that the sata controller is faulty.The problem seems to get fixed whenever i change the positions of the sata cables but after a while comes back.Does anyone else facing a similar problem?I ll install the latest bios version to see if things gets better.
Thanks

Sava?
did you solve this problem?
Im really sorry for making over a year to answer :bonk:but the problem is still there.I have now two hdds(the third one is not functioning with the other two ones on:worship:.I have checked my hdds one hunded times without finding a single error.I changed the PSU with a 750watt corsair but still no light .Ive learn to live with it.Whenever my pc refuses to boot(the bios doesnt recognize the discs)i open the case and disconnect the hd im using for storage,boot into windows,shut down the pc,reconnect the other one,boot again and voila!!!! Everything works fine for 3 to 5 days in a row until the nightmare returns.I sent the board back to the store for rma but they didnt find anythin wrong.
The only possitive is that i havent had any "freezing" experience inside the windows for a long time now.My pc works flawlessly with one hd so im willing to keep it till summer.

MSI NEO2 Platinum, problem with mouse Genius PS2 optical

Hello,
I have a MSI NEO2 Platinum motherboard with a mouse Genius optical PS2. When the S.O. init the mouse is not detected, I unplug and plug again the PS2 port and the mouse work perfectly ! ... The mouse is working perfectly, I test it in another PC, the problem is the motherboard !
The same situation is on Windows XP Professional and Linux Ubuntu 5.10.
Please help me, thanks for your attention !
Raúl.

Raúl,
The PS2 slot is NOT a hot plug! If you remove and reinstall it while there is power to the mobo you stand a very good chance of destroying the PS2 Slot.
Take Care,
Richard

[Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

First post, whoo hooo
So what version of BIOS are u running? I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems. With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you. Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems. Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

Apple new macbook pro dosent have a disk drive. Does the older model have a problem with the disc drive and so is removed in the new model?

No. Apple replaced the disk drive with a solid state drive (SSD) instead. The SSD is faster the old disk drive.

Satellite A500-1C0 - Windows has detected a problem with HDD

Good day,
Notebook shows me that Windows has detected a problem with HDD. The notebook is slow and the chops. And when you turn it shows me Smart Failure predicted on hard disk 1. Toshiba MK 5055GSX - (S2). Can you help me? (Im CZ)

Hi Konyga,
If you already get a warning about internal HDD before Windows starts I would recommend exchanging it and backup all data as fast as possible.
Is your notebook still under warranty?
If yes you can get a new HDD from an authorized service provider. This would be for free because its covered by warranty. Everything what you have to do is contacting an ASP.

X38 Platinum: Problem with CPU detection

Hi everybody,
I've got a little problem with my newly acquired x38/platinum...
I'm currently assembling a new PC on my own... So far all the component have been plugged-in EXCEPT the memory modules (I haven't purchased them yet).
Despite this complete lack of memory, I try to test the correct boot-up of the system.
And then the following problem occurs: the "lcd post" display hang on "CPU" (before rebooting indefinitely)... Not "DRAM" as expected...
The CPU is a Core 2 Quad, and is correctly powered with a 8-pin/12v connector. The CPU-Fan is powered from the correct on-board pins (cpufan). The speakers are plugged, but no specific "beep" are emitted.
One possible mistake I've made: the CPU-Fan is not fully plugged with the 4 "screws": i only (and hardly) manage to clip 2 of them, I'm afraid of breaking the board if y try too hard with the two others.
Could this problem be caused by the absence of DRAM? Or more likely by the the fact that the Fan is not fully clipped? By the way, is that normal that the CPU Fan is so Hard to plug correctly?
Any comments or idea would be greatly appreciated
Thanks (and sorry for the approximate english)
MH.

mhz42, please provide full system specs. Otherwise it is very hard to help you with your problem. What brand and type of memory are you using? What other components are part of your system configuration?
The mb is a x38 platinum 1333. The proc is a quad core qx8650, 1333fsb. The hd (western digital caviar) and optical drive (lg h66n) are both on sata and plugged. The memory used is 2go Kingston ddr3 1375mhz... (plugged in DIMM 1/2).
Anyway, I frankly doubt that the problem could come from anywhere else than the cpu (considering the post message)...

What PSU are you using?
A seasonic M12-500w... brand new...
Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 23-January-08, 22:03:59
Did you properly plug in ALL power connectors?
The powering should be ok... (the MB, the proc, the cpufan and the graphic card are plugged) The processor seems to be correctly powered, if it was not the case, the post process wouldn't even start (tested)...
Quote from: Aaron Yuri
You could just buy a cheap Pentium 4 and flash it with that.
That's an idea. Or i could directly ship the mb back to msi and thell them to do it themself... After all the spec says cleary "quad core compatible"...
So?
Just to be sure: the "since 1.1" from the compatibility table from MSI, refeers to the bios version right? Not a sort of MB revision or something?

[Solved] MSI GT60, Major Problem With Updating

Hi everyone, I've owned a GT60 since about January and I've had a few more minor problems so far, but now a rather annoying one.
I cannot update anything it seems, I've got numerous messages to install 8.1 for free, despite having downloaded and installed it a few times. When I download and install it no changes are made but it says the install happened and was successful. I now have this problem with a new version of Java, it asks me if the program can make changes to my computer once every session, even though I've downloaded it and clicked yes a few times.
On a side note, just today my audio stopped working. When I plug in headphones the audio comes in but all crackly. I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them, still wont work.
Thanks for any help

Quote from: Niloc;104288
Can you be more specific with which upgrades I've installed, do you mean windows updates or every single update for anything ever installed? What do you mean by run the windows 8.1 upgrade from market? If you mean did I download from there and then hit run when the little pop up comes on screen, then I did that. If I restore the system, will i lose anything? I'll give those instructions a try then. I should also have mentioned that everything was installing properly, until the update was released and I tried to install it. It never worked and then Java was giving me problems, and I had the audio problem, so I finally decided it was time to ask for some help lol.
About the audio, I only get the crackling from my headphones, the speaker is dead silent. Its also not just pure crackling, like songs sound mostly normal and understandable but with some crackling. I found that if I turn my volume just a few clicks up from being mute, there's no crackling. Its almost as if my volume is too loud at a normal volume and its blowing the speakers.
Thanks for the info
If you do a system restore, the system will be back to the factory settings which mean yes, you're personal data and self-install programs will be deleted.
*Make sure you backup all your personal data!
You can use F3 function to do the system restore and do the update after.
(Power on the notebook and press F3 after MSI logo shows up, and follow the instruction for the system recovery)
1.Execute MSI BurnRecovery Tool to create Windows 8 recovery discs.
2.Back up all personal files
3.Uninstall both NVIDIA and Intel VGA driver.
4.Uninstall touchpad driver.
5.Run Microsoft Windows Update. (Press WIN>search windows update>check for updates) *Make sure you install all important and optional updates.
6.Restart you notebook.
7.Check again if there is any available updates in Windows Update and do restart after the installation. (Repeat the updates till you don't see any updates available.)
8.Press WIN key and choose Market.(You should see the big "Update to Windows 8.1 for free" button and click it to start the update.)
9. System reboot after finishing the update
10. Go to MSI website and download+install the latest drivers.(including vga drivers and touchpad driver..etc)
For the audio: Try to uninstall the audio driver and reboot the system and see if the speakers work without Realtek audio driver.

MSI A55M-E33 problems with USB Hub

When I boot with my USB Hub plugged in the screen will stay black and I get a 9C, 99, 92 or A2 error. Often after a few seconds this will disappear but sometimes it will just hang on 9C forever. Without the USB Hub plugged in it will boot straight into windows with no errors, but the internal buzzer will give one long beep and two short beeps.
I used MSI live update 6 to upgrade my BIOS from W10 to W50. Inside the BIOS screen it is given as E7721AMS v32.5.
The boot mode is Legacy + UEFI, and the boot order is:
Boot 1: SSD (win 8.1 64 bit on here)
2: DVD
3: UEFI Hard Disk
4: UEFI USB CD
5: UEFI USB key
etc
My 2nd hard drive isn't listed as an option, though in another section of the BIOS (can't recall which) it is listed as being in a SATA port.
USB devices are a wifi dongle, wireless keyboard & mouse receiver, and a D-Link DUB-H7 7 port usb hub (with 2 external hard drives attached).
Any ideas what I can do? Would a different usb hub solve the problem?

So I phoned a local computer repair shop, and he said it sounded like a faulty USB hub. He advised me to buy a PCI-E usb card and plug the devices directly into that. I was confident he wasn't trying to just sell me anything, as he didn't have these cards in stock and suggested buying one online.
So I bought one of those cards and plugged the external HDD's directly into that. It has solved the problem with hanging on 9C (the beeping problem seems to have just disappeared by itself). Now I just momentarily get a 99 and A2 error then it boots directly into windows 8. Unfortunately the external drives won't appear for about 30 seconds, and also I can't use my wireless keyboard or mouse for the same amount of time.
I'm fairly sure its not the fault of the drives. Today I've plugged them into two windows 7 laptops and booted those and the drives show up immediately. Same with the USB hub.
Does it sound like a faulty motherboard? Or something not set correctly in the BIOS?

Help needed, possible problem with HDD

In the last few weeks, my iMac has become quite slow and tends to freeze fairly often. The other day I turned it on and was met with a kernel panic screen and could not access my desktop or any of my files. To find the source of the problem I ran an Apple Hardware Test which gave me the following error:
4HDD/11/40000004:SATA (0,0)
After searching on the internet, I decided to boot from my OSX install disc and run Disk Utility. After verifying the disc, and repairing the disc, the scan revealed that there was no problem with the HDD. However, I was still being met with the kernel panic screen whenever I tried to turn on the computer.
After booting from the install disc again, I did an Archive and Install, which finally let me get to my desktop, however the computer was once again running slowly and after another Apple Hardware Test it resulted in the same error as above.
After more searching on the internet, I decided to remove the 3rd party RAM from my iMac and replace it with the original RAM. No success again.
More searching brought Disk Warrior to my attention. After purchasing the program, I ran the included scans and once again was given the result that there was nothing wrong with the HDD.
After this I decided to run Tech Tools Deluxe which came up with a Directory fail, even though the Disk Utility and Disk Warrior scans found no such problem.
So what procedure can I take now, I am hesitant to perform a System Restore as I do not want to lose my files, but this may be my only option.
Please help.

Okay, I ended up installing OSX to my external HD and booted from that. Ran Disk Warrior from the external and used it to rebuild the internal HD. After the rebuild DW gave me the message that it could not replace the new directory with the old directory as there was a disk malfunction. I managed to copy all of my important data to the external.
I'm guessing that the internal needs to be replaced? I'd rather start fresh with a new one than risk this happening again anyways.
In any case thank you very much for your help, it was much appreciated .

Problems with HDD

I have some problems with partitioning my HDD through Boot Camp. I finished the Boot Camp Assistant when it partitioned the Hard Drive. Now, these 120 GB are not accesible! I estimated how much memory take all my files: it's 278 GB, but in the HD properties I see over 400. How can I repair the disk?

That's entirely up to you.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper 1.6
Yank 1.31
SuperPop 1.0b2
Uninstaller 1.99
Spring Cleaning 8.0
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

Problem with Floppy discs

I am running Solaris 10 x86. The machine has also Windows installed. With my Windows I can use floppy discs without any problem. Under Solaris (after giving volcheck command) CDE displays that floppy is unformated.
1. I tried to format it in Windows, but it didn't help.
2. I tried fdformat and received the following:
fdformat: no diskette in drive /vol/dev/rdiskette0/unknown_format
3. The CDE format dialog seems to do not do any progress while formating.
4. Other floppies also give similar result.
I read that this could be a problem with floppy driver for Solaris.
Please help!
Thank you.

While waiting for reply I searched the internet and found something that will help.
echo 'fdcsense_chng+0x45?W0' | adb -kw
WARNING: THIS ONLY WORKS FOR SOLARIS 10 x86. Using this on Solaris 9 and 8 will hang the system.

Permissions problems with multiple discs in Mac Pro

Hi.
I have three discs in my Mac Pro. One is the boot drive, which is an SSD, another is a 2TB Seagate and the other is a smaller spare for setting stuff aside. The SSD and 2TB drives are NOT a fusion drive. They work okay but there are problems with permissions and I am trying to figure out what the permissions on each need to be for them to work in close harmony. The user account is on the boot drive but music and photo libraries, for example, are referenced on the big drive.
Permissions on the boot drive show: system - r&w, wheel - ro, everyone - ro...
On the big drive they are: Drieu(Me) - r&w, staff - r&w and everyone - ro. Ignore ownerships is not ticked and I am undecided about this.
None of these seems to be correct. I know how much chaos can ensue if changes are made rashly, so I am loth to experiment but things are wrong enough to need to do something. Does anyone have any suggestions, given I am not sharing the machine with anyone, other than the default public folder.
The spare drive has Drieu (Me) - r&w, system - ro, admin - r&w and everyone - ro!

The Samsung 840 pro SSD boot disc
10.9.5 and later turn ON kext signing, which turns OFF TRIM Enabler. A non-Apple SSD without TRIM cannot eliminate deleted files, so it will eventually become choked with an accumulation of deleted data. Doing the Install under these conditions could add 20GB or more of deleted data, and it could become super-slow.
The 2TB disk [that was the Boot Disk]
that permissions over the whole disc vary. Some files require that I enter the password to move them.
Permissions for different folders vary widely. For example, System Directories are write-locked to you, and moving files from them would require that you authenticate as Admin.
Files transferred from the desktop to this disc require to have the command key applied to move, rather than copy.
The default in a Drive-to-Drive transfer IS Copy. To change that to Move, you must hold the Command or Option key. This is a Documented Feature, and is working as designed. Default for Folder-to-Folder On the same Drive is Move.
I also find that when modifying blocks of files they can suddenly disappear and I have to come out and run round the block before I can go back in to finish the job. It works okay but it is unnerving, despite having a backup.
One or both of those drives may be having problems. What you describe does not sound normal.

Problems with hdd, new one ?

I seem to be having some problems with my current hdd, and i was wondering if I was better off just buying a new hdd all together. It doesn't want to 'unmount' or format. I called certain Apple service centers and their diagnostics fee is $90 - About how much a new hard drive would be on it's own. Can anyone help or give feedback?

Are you talking about your internal HDD?
If so, how are you trying to unmount or reformat?
It's tough to do it to the startup disk, right?
ETA: You might just need to run Disk Utility on it - what OS are you using?
