MSI K9N SLI SATA problem

i have just board the MSI K9N SLI and a AMD X2 6000+ processor.
i have a ATA harddisk with my system on and a SATA harddisk, BUT i can't see my SATA.
i can see it i the Bios and at the "remove safely icon" BUT nowhere else!!
enyone now WHY, i have a lot of programes on that HD that i need.
Hope you can help, fast.

read Moan Guide
ensure that RAID is disabled for SATA channels from BIOS.
from Windows, type in "run": diskmgmt.msc and check the drive status.

MSI K9N SLI V2 nForce 570LT 64 Bit Driver Problems

System Specs
X2 4400+ 2.3ghz
8800GT 512mb GPU
250gb HD
4x 1gb G-skill pc6400 DDR2 800
MSI K9N SLI V2 nForce 570LT Socket AM2
vx450w PSU
Lite-on DVDRW LH-20A1S
So I recently jumped ship from XP Home to Vista x64 to XP pro x64 and I am having issues updating my drivers I downloaded the MCP55_64_9.17_MW31006 at this site http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1415
NVIDIA nForce 550/570/570/590 SLI System Drivers
When I run the install though nothing happens Nvidia splash then nothing and the files are not recognized by the device manager.
Any idea what the issue could be? sadly need the ethernet update so I can connect to the internet lol also the 2 discs have no effect neither work vista or the xp (tried vista since the x64 drives actually worked on it)

Vista x64 ultimate. I wanted to try X64 XP but I ran into problems thus the original post ^-^
Vista is nice I could live with it for Dx10 but man UAC sucks every attempt to disable = vista freak out and repair the file ^-^
ATM I use XP Home with the DX10 crack (I own vista so I don't see a issue) but yet to install any games on it. I will load up and check it out Still the fact I get medium with x8 aa is good imo. Game looks fantastic and with luck the FC2 engine won't be such a resource whore like crysis. I recall the Sandune (think thats the name) for FC1 even on low settings things still looked fantastic.

MSI K9N SLI V2 MS-7390 onboard sound problem

Hi,
My PC has stopped outputing sound. It was working fine yesterday morning, but when I got home from work 8 hours later it no longer seemed to want to play any sound. I know my taste in music is a bit naff but it not playing anything is a bit extreme!
I've checked the volume, reinstalled the sound drivers, checked the speakers and the cable by hooking them up to an iPod and I'm still not getting any sound. The onboard sound is enabled on the BIOS. Device Manager is showing no conflicts or problems, as far as it's concerend it's working. I've had a look at the motherboard and there's nothing I can see looks like it's shorted. I've even emptied my HDD and done a clean install of Windows XP again.
I'm really at a loss to see why this has happened and what to do to fix it. I guess buying a sound card would be one way of getting round it but I'm still puzzled about why it's doing this in the first place.
My motherboard is an MSI K9N SLI V2 MS-7390 and the on board audio is Realtek.

No, your bad choice of music shouldn't be the problem. That is if not a neighbour broke in to your house to stop the darn noise. Do you know if someone has changed anything?
Does the rest of the system work fine? I'm thinking there was a problem with return from hibernation or something.
What source do you have? CD for example.

MSI K9N SLI-2F+4GB DDR2 big problem....

I got this PC:
MSI K9N SLI-2F
AMD Athlon64 x2 4200+
2x1 GB DDR2 Vitesta Extrema 800+
WD 500 GB AAKS
LEADTEK 8800 GTS 640 MB
450 W PSU
Recently i got another 2x1 GB DDR2 Vitesta Extrema 800+.My OS was Windows XP SP2.Of course i knew about de 32bit SO limitation and didn't expect my Windows to take advantage of all 4Gigs.My PC started to freeze on random ocassions.so i decided to install Windows Vista x64.It didn't start to install it just freezes after unpacking (gray bar with black background screen).I take out 2 Gigs.Works like a charm,so it isn't a dvd read problem. I inserted the 2GIGS back PC doesn't even get to boot screen(with 2GB works).I installed SP1 too,to get all hotfixes up to date.same thing.Memory hole is enabled in bios.Tested the sticks 1 by 1 no problem with eighter of them.Just as i write i am running the recently bought sticks,for 2 days,no problem.My bios is 3.8 now,but i downgraded from 3.9 thinking it may solve the problem.I also don't think that the PSU is the problem,because before i had 4x512 DDR2 800 GEIL Ultra (2.1V) wich practicly need same power to run.Hope somebody can help me :(

You have tested with all sorts of el-cheapo PSU's.
Do you really believe any of those will run a power eating videocard like a 8800GTS?
I believe it's the videocard and/or the powersupply.
As you managed to install XP without a problem it seems, well then the memory and CPU are fine, as they use a whole lot of memory and CPU power during install.
It would have stalled during installation as well if it was the board/CPU/memory.
However, during that stage the videocard isn't initialized to full potential, but just acting like a 100 year old VGA card and thus not using any power or GPU calculations at all.
Please test your system on a >30A @ 12V powersupply SINGLE rail, to exclude the PSU.
Also, take your friends videocard and put it in your system, but with a heavy 12V amp psu.
Wouldn't be the first time it was both.
Bad memory/CPU/board usually results into BSOD, but underpowered PSU can also cause freezing and those nVidia videocards do react on unstable power by reducing stuff....so yes it can run underpowered...but how long and how good?
BAS, thanks but no thanks.Already solved,and it wasn't the PSU, you PSU FANATIK ).I already said i finished Crysis with this stinky PSU ,no problems.Go buy a PSU that costs twice your PC if that makes you happy,untill proven otherwise i stick to my cheap'o PSU

Bug USB on MSI K9N SLI Platinium & Athlon X2 3800+

Hello!
first,i'm french, so excuse my bad english(i try to do my best!)
so, the problem is that i don't have any USB working on my K9N SLI Platinium with my Athlon X2 3800+!(anywhere,all other devices works => lan, sound, storage..)
the "controlleur de bus USB" (sorry, it's french!) doesn't appear in the "Administrator of ring roads(peripherals) " (thanks reverso^^)!!!!
i've read somewhere that K8N have had a similar problem,(now there is a patch) is this the same problem???
i've mounted exactly the same configuration (except the Processor which is an AMD Athlon 3200+ (simple core))to a friend 2weeks ago,and all works!!!
my configuration :
AMD Athlon X2 3800+ (socket AM2)

MSI K9N SLI: acpi, shutdown, ethernet "not enough resources"

I recently got the MSI K9N SLI, new ram, gpu to upgrade my computer. I did a fresh install of windows xp pro but the computer kept going into some hibernating/power saving mode suddenly during install of windows. (The power led blinks slowly) After this I can not restart until I switch the I/O button at the back of the psu to off.
-I remembered seeing some options in the bios so I switched off the ability of pci/pcie devices to recover from hibernation/sleep mode.
-The install of windows then got a little further, until it says installing/configuring network devices. A new shutdown (this time a complete shutdown, where I can simply start the pc again at the front). This happens every time.
-I now turned off acpi (advanced power saving... etc) in bios, and the installation of windows went fine. However...
-Now the integrated ethernet lan devices says they cant find enough resources for it to work. So I cannot access the internet. Otherwise the system performs and runs smoothly. Have played games/music..etc.
-Then to solve the ethernet problem I looked here in these forums where I found this post:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=98742.0
This seemed to be a solution...however, it sets the acpi function to enabled, which causes the shutdown/hibernation/sleep mode during install.
When I disable this bios function, everything except the lan problem, works fine. However this seems to make windows install the wrong HAL or device driver for the ethernet/communication part of windows.
It also seem that others are having trouble with their integrated lan. One person's solutin was to install a separate ethernet card, which I am going to try. But I would like to have the benefit of having acpi enabled as it seem to be an important function safetywise.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=99445.msg722820#quickreply
I can recreate the shutdown during windows install every time by enabling the acpi function in bios. Although turning it on after installing windows doesnt seem to do anything, as windows seem to already have installed the wrong driver components. It also doesnt solve the ethernet problem as this requires at least a repair-install of windows.
I apologize for the long post but more information is generally better, right?!
Any ideas of how to solve this?
Thank you to everyone who replies anything helpful!

Quote from: Ferro on 15-August-06, 09:25:13
Just installed the new harddrive and this time I only disabled the ethernet lan during windows install. Then installing the amd cpu software and the realtek audio drivers.
However I am experiencing some minor unstabilities, one restart while surfing so far. Been reading about similar problems with other k9n sli users and if more restarts happen I am returning this mb and getting an Asus. Had Asus for the three last upgrades and never had any problems. Could be a fluke of course. Heard good things about Msi though.
What PSU are you using including the +12V@ value A? Gd luck.

Trouble with MSI K9N SLI V2

Okay, so I've been building a computer from scratch for a while now. I've been using :
MSI K9N SLI V2 mainboard.
AMD Athlon 64x2 Processor
2x Kingston 1gb RAM DDR2
nVidia e-GeForce 6200
ATX Mid-Tower Case
450 Watt ATX PSU
I'm using my old computer's HD and CD Drive for the HD and CD Drives.
Here's my problem :
I connect everything together, and use the nVidia e-GeForce 6200 graphics card (there is no monitor plug built in.) plug in the monitor and can't get anything on the screen. The HD and CD Drives are running, Mainboard is running, all fans are running. Just no Visuals. I've plugged everything back to my old computer and it works fine. I can't figure out what's wrong. Can anyone help me out please?

Well you've ben asked what cpu you're using. Athlon 64 X2 is not a sufficient answer as there are dozens of models with varying cores. Without proper info we can't help you so please specify the exact model (e.g. Athlon 64 X2 4800+, Brisbane G2). This info is crucial to tell if the cpu used is supported or might require a bios update. That brings us to the next question: Do you know the bios version flashed on the board? Did it ever run?
In addition your psu seems quite old, what model is it? As your list of psu specs is a bit confusing did I get right that psu is at 24A on +12v?
Also try runnig board out of case as Bosskiller suggested with just one mem stick and only necessary components plugged in (no drive connected).

MSI K9N SLI Platinum - SATA not hot-swappable?

can i get a confirmation that K9N SLI Platinum motherboard does NOT support hot-swapping the SATA drives. I switched to this board for the AM2 socket and now i am not seeing the removable drive bays as hot-swappable (ie. no green arrow down by the clock). maybe i am missing a bios setting?

I check two machines today and one is just fine using the removable trays and any drives we put in there show up in the 'safely remove hardware' tool. the other machines does NOT detect any drives inserted while the machine is powered on and something else - under the 'policies' tab the top two choices ('optimize for quick removal' instead of 'optimize for performance') are greyed out but there is an option below them that i can check and uncheck (i cannot remember the exact title of this option).
I assume you are trying the same drives when you swap the removable trays between the two machines. Some drives have a jumper that has to be removed to enable SATA II operation, so if they aren't the same physical drives you might want to check that.
I think the stuff below the greyed out area in your 'Policies' tab is a check box that enables/disables write caching. You might want to try checking/unchecking that.
Also, you should check out the IDE/ATA Controller selection in the Device Manager. Take a look at each instance of controller that shows up there. SATA controllers actually a primary and secondary channel and each channel has a master and a slave drive, just like old IDE controllers. Look at each tab on both machines and make sure all of the drive's features are set identically on these tabs. Sometimes Windows can try to outsmart you. For example, I have an SATA II Maxtor drive that has its transfer mode downgraded to SATA I by Windows (there is a little yellow triangle with a '!' in the middle of the lower part of the panel). The help balloon for this arrtibutes it to 'excessive transfer errors.' I haven't tried to chase that one down yet, however.
As far as setting the machines up the same way, sometimes the sequence of driver installations can have an effect. For example, a RAID driver installed during Windows setup using the 'F6 - install other driver' option can behave differently from one installed with the Device Manager 'Update Driver' function.
Sorry I can't be of more help here.
Maybe someone else in this forum is a bit more knowledgable on the subject.

MSI K9N DIAMOND boot problems

Hi.
I have given the main PC sig below to my son. And I now have / building
MSI K9N DIAMOND AM2 nvidia nForce 590 SLI 8channel audio DDR2 ATX
Corsair 1GB DDR2-6400 128Mx64 non-ECC 240 DIMM unbuffered 5-5-5-12
AMD 2x 5600 cpu
I have kept the PSU, wifi card.
(will update when up and running.)
When I put his harddrive (SATA) into his new PC it saw it straight away and booted into xp,without having to reinstall . Great.
I put my drive into the new AM2 board and I get three beeps (I read that's the USBs)
Then it either just hangs on a black screen or if i enable raid it tries then the BSOD code 0x0000007E which i believe is just a standard error message.
The D-bracket has 4 green lights...
does anyone know why I cant just boot up my drive like i could with my sons, is it because i'm switching to AM2 from 939?
When I enter the raid setup (F10) it can see the drive but next to where it says bootable drive which is normally a yes or a no it has N/A and I cannot change it.
I belive it is a raid/ driver problem I'm thinking its the AM2 upgrade.
I did not get any floppy raid drivers with my mo/bo.
If I reinstalled Xp would I need to install raid drivers during setup? (F6)
I have clears cmos
Many thanks for any help.

hello
I plugged my sons drive into my K9N Diamond and it is saying the same thing in the raid setup (F10) .....When you have the option to set as the bootable drive
Quote "set as boot drive N/A"
It can see the drive OK, I can delete array and rebuild it
Is there something in the bios that I need to tick or untick/ enable for it to boot from the drive?
any help would be great.
thanks

K9N SLI - Overheating problems

I occasionally get some problems with components overheating. I have Speedfan 4.37, (from www.almico.com), installed to monitor system temperatures and it gives 7 readings. Can anyone tell me which components these names refer to so that I can narrow down where the problem originates :-
Local; temperature now 46C
Remote; temp 60C
System; temp 49C
CPU, (presumably the Athlon 64X2 4800+ processor); temp 52C
AUX; temp 51C
Core; temp 45C
GPU, (I think this is the graphics card which is an MSI NX7300GT). temp 62C
According to the almico website it is the mainboard manufacturer who decides which names to give to which component and they do not list this MoBo on their website.
The above temperatures are sometimes quite a bit higher.
I am not sure if removing the CPU, cleaning off the paste and adding some new heatsink paste will solve my problems as there seem to be so many components with high temperatures, and they all seem to increase at the same time when the beast decides to get too hot. The overheating problem is intermittent and is partly solved by running my computer with the panels off, which I would prefer not to do.
Any help appreciated,
Viv

I have the same board as my 2nd Rig, I found speedfan to be a bit off on the readings for the K9N SLi though. Using the Chart Feature in Speedfan you can determine what temps are represented after giving the macine a Full Load, especially gaming. The GPU will in most cases be the highest, The CPU will be the one that tapers down the chart rapidly after exiting a game, the Chipset/Mosfet Not sure exactly what it's reading will also drop but not as much & rapidly.
Use coretemp for CPU. I remember being concerned about the readings so I modded the Chipset with a Coolermaster chipset cooler by simply Cable-Tying it to the existing heatpipe cooler + some compound thus not voiding any warranty. Sounds weird but It does work as it gets quite warm which means it's moving the heat off the CHIP itself. I MOD all my boards in this way
Now that I have installed the blower fan below my graphics card all of the temperatures are lower, which I hope will ensure that I get no more unexpected shutdowns. Even if the Speedfan temperatures are not accurate, at least monitoring them will show if any are increasing, which is when problems could occur. The suggestion about adding a Coolermaster is interesting, but I think I would prefer to just replace the CPU cooler as there is no warranty problem because I built the computer myself.

MSI P6N SLI sound problem under windows 7

Hi all!
I have an MSI P6N SLI mainboard and I have installed win7 ultimate x64 to get a look on that OS. Everything works fine expect one thing: I have no sound. I tried to install manually the realtek sound driver but no changes. When I check the Volume Control Options then neither the Speakers nor the Realtek Digital Output checked (but the speaker is plugged in).
However I have sound under Linux.
Could someone help me? (and sorry if I have missed the topic which resolves this problem if there is any)

Hi everyone,
hope it's ok to refresh this thread - I did not want to open up a new one, because this one matches my problem perfectly - but my speakers are plugged-in the right way
I'm running Win7 64 on the MSI P6N SLI (not v2 no Platinum) and am unable to install the sounddriver (well not correct - I did install the driver). The upgrade advisor said all green (under Win XP 32) and the MSI-Driver-Page propagates Win7 32/64 is supported for the SoundCard of my Board.
The driver installs just fine, but the device won't come out of "I have a problem"-state - always telling me "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" (I event tried installing the driver manually with pointing the win-hardware-setup-routine to the driver-directory) - still no use - I removed and rebootet serveral times...
Hope anybody has a solution for this problem (I'm taking the posts above as a "this has to work"-basis so i'm not ready to give up and go out there and buy a new soundcard )
Thanks in advance for any hint.

MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum problems again

Like many of you all who suggested me to RMA my board couple weeks ago. Well, looks like I finally got the board back and I decided to give it a go. Put in my computer parts (CPU, Ram, using on-board vga/dvi) and gave it a go. I turned on and then I see the same red light that occurred to me in the previous problem that I had before sending it in. I am thinking MSI didn't thoroughly test the board enough? I tried sticking the memory stick in different slots to see if that would help, still no go. I switched/changed cpu I contacted MSI and they said to reseat the CPU and check PSU. I told them that my PSU is brand new (Corsair 650TX) and confirmed them that it is indeed working. I took it out of the case to test by putting a cardboard underneath the motherboard using only 1 stick of ram in DIMM1 slot. Reseat/re-inserted the CPU and heatsink fan in. Connect the DVI cable to the on-board dvi connection. Then I took a flat screw driver and turned it on, I saw the CPU fan spin and the PSU fan spinning but the same red light showed up. I am still stuck and wonder what other options I have left.
MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum
AMD64 X2 5400
2x2GB Corsair (I am only using 1 stick to test at the moment)
Using onboard video instead of my 8800GT
Corsair 650TX watts (tested and it is brand new)
I feel like I don't know what else to do except I could take it to a computer technician to have a second look at it. If anyone have suggestion, I'd be happy to try.

I have done all of the following you listed except for testing the CPU in another machine. I will bring the two cpu to a local shop and have them tested. I will report back.
Quote from: Svet on 06-March-09, 04:54:11
Do you have power cable for the CPU connected?
Does the CPU works in another machine?
Have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed?
Have you tested with mainboard out of PC case too? {With one memory stick in 1st DIMM close to CPU socket}
Does the CPU is properly installed?
Checked CPU for bent pins too?

MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM problem with ram 800MHz

Hello.
I have problem with ram frequency.
I have MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM and OCZ 2x2GB 800MHz CL5 but in bios I see that my ram runs in 667 MHz. Because I have 800MHz ram, so it shouldn't be default 800MHz and not 667MHz? What I have to do to show bios that I have 800MHz ram?

Quote from: DaLoona
Oke, but they told me when i bought my new system that XP auto adjusts the speed of the memory.
XP 64 bit can works normally with 4 or more GB they said, just like vista.
Just typing what "the professional's" at the store said.
