System has been pretty much solid since i built it back in Dec 2005, The Power supply i've had for 1-2 years, last few months i would start up my pc and then at random between 15 secs or 30 mins the pc would just shut off, and sometimes it wouldn't do it at all. I didn't really think nothing of it. About a month ago i was about to play WoW (world of warcraft) and my pc glitched out and the sound screeched and then i shut it down, i reset the comp and no post, i then reset the cmos the pc then posted and i changed my bios settings back and i was up and running again. I could run any games, half life 2, quake 4, WoW and they all ran great i still got the random shut downs if it did shut down when i restarted it , it would shut down again. (odd) Tonight i was on chatting with some friends and was about to play some counter strike then changed my mind and i started up WoW everything loaded up great, got into the game and played for about 2 mins then my screen went black and the sound screeched, the monitor had no signal and my pc was still running, so i turn the thing off and reboot, no post and no beep code. I proceeded to reset cmos and reboot still nothing i checked the D-bug thing and i was getting a processor intialize error, so i thought i fried my cpu, i took off the waterblock and pulled out the cpu cleaned it up reapplied AS5 and then re-seated the cpu, tried to boot and nothing, i then started to pull ram out and swap slots and single the sticks out and that did nothing. I then stripped my pc down to barebones reset cmos and used beap codes, with just cpu seated i got a ram error code, put in a stick of ram then i got a video card error code put in the vid card then i was back where i started, no beep code and the d-bug thing was hanging on processor initialization. It could be my cpu although in my other comp i swapped cpu, i put the enermax 431w into the other comp nf2 w/ amd 2500 barton and it posted and ran fine, although when i used the ps from the other system in the one thats not posting it would post either but it was only a 300w ps. I don't believe its the cpu, the 20pin connector on the power supply has about 4 pins where the pastic shell has browned from heat or something, so i should replace the ps regardless but i'm not positive thats whats causing my issue. Anyone with any suggestions i'll pretty much try anything at this point.
Thanks for taking the time to read through my problem.

This is not a good sign, this could be an indication of to much amp being drawed.
This could be due to a poor connection on the P/S connector or the connector of the MB or it could be due to a device like your CPU, ram, graphic card or so on drawing to much amps.
Check the MB for any signs of swelled, leaking or bursted caps, also look around the MB P/S connector for any resistors that have changed colors or are burnt.

    Hi guys
    Well finally after a few months of waiting ive got rid of my stock A64 cooler and had chance to fiidle with some overclocking i really would like some advise on my recent overclcock perhaps some of you guys know where i might be able to tweak my system alittle bit here's the details

    temps are around 39
    3DMark 2001 = 23766
    3DMark 2003 = Havent try'd yet :p
    So are my mem timings good ive try'd higher FSB but couldn't seem to get it without upping my volts,  im thinking that it might be my memory settings holding me back but not really sure

    Second double sided dimm in the 7030's seem to really give it headaches.  WILL NOT run @ 1:1 no matter what I do.  Automatically defaults it to 166 divider no matter what slots or bios settings I try.  I managed to get them to run @ 200 by OC'ing to 240fsb but even then I had to use way worse timings than they would do by themselves.  OCZ is the only manufacturer I have found that makes a 1 Gig stick that runs at the same timings as their 512 Mb sticks.  When I get one of those babies I'll really be able to see what this thing will do @ 1:1.  Probaly only get to 220 or so with pc3200 but doing it @ 1:1 with good timings will be sweet!

  • Just bought SATA2 250GB WD HD for MSI Neo Plat ver 1 (7030).

    I just bought a SATA2 250GB Western Digital HD for my MSI Neo Plat ver 1 (7030).
    I'm currenlty using the 1.7 BIOS.
    I've always used IDE up to this point.
    I haven't yet installed my new drive but I'm a little nervous.
    Are there any gotchas waiting for me?
    What I want to do is copy my partitions from my old IDE HD to my new SATA2 HD.
    Something tells me that this is not going to go so smoothly - don't ask me why, it's gut feeling 
    I predict BSOD when I try to boot from my new HD.
    Any advice from people who have done this using the MSI Neo Platinum 1 ?
    Can you have both IDE and SATA drives connected at the same time so that I can do a partition copy?
    I think that MSI Neo Plat 1 is only rated do SATA1 so I'm not sure how it'll behave with my SATA2 drive 
    I'm a pessimist by nature, however, my "gut" instints are normally correct 

    I don´t have the same MoBo as you, so there might be some differences which I´m not aware of, but basically you could install the Sata drive as new bootdrive with OS and keep the old Pata HDD as backup drive.
    The Sata installation (not raid) is just like a Pata installation except for other cables and MoBo connectors/IF.
    To avoid confusion, disconnect the power from the old HDD and just keep the new Sata drive as the only drive while formatting / installation OS.
    You will only benefit native Sata1 performance, but that almost the same as Sata2 so no big deal ( only the theoretically performance is twice as good ).
    I don´t think there´s no need to change any backward Sata1-2 jumpers on the WD drive, but if I´m wrong there should be such a jumper that limits the performance to Sata1 - You could check at WD website.
    After you´ve reconnected the old HDD - Go into bios ( probably "Advanced" menu ) and set " HDD Boot drive" order ( or called simular ), check and set WD as bootdrive.( don´t mix up HDD boot order with the general Floppy/CD/HDD bootorder).
    Now you still have all your files intact on the old HDD and if you want to, you could ofcourse transfer them to the new drive as well.
    ( You will need to reinstall some programs on the new HDD, that does not work anylonger on the old HDD, but all files are intact)

  • Xp-120 on msi neo plat (754) with arctic rev3 agp cooler

    I want to put a thermalright xp-120 on my msi neo plat s754 board. looking at some pics, the heatpipes seem very close to the agp slot.
    I have an arctic cooling rev3 cooler on my connect3d 9800pro, and I'm not sure if there is enough clearance between the heatpipe and the bracket on the side of the AGP card.
    anyone else got this setup working ?
    thanks

    Please elaborate a bit more on the results.. what were the actual temperature difference? what was the noise difference? did you o/c? etc etc etc...
    The results you posted there mean totally nothing since you don't state on what grounds you placed them on those places.

    Hi everyone,
    Suddenly for 4 days ago my pc wouldn't boot up when I pressed the on button(infront). So I toggled the on&off button on my psu and after a few tries my pc booted up. So in the next few days I did the same thing. Weird I tought, since I haven't done anything with my PC.
    And when I would turn off my pc it wouldn't shutdown properly, it just stod there after windows was shutdown, still it would just be running.
    So today I had enough and checked inside the pc. I found the Power switch cable was disconnected from JFP1 , no problem, i'll just plugg it back I thought...
    Then again I tried both sides and tried booting with the button & on&off on PSU, didn't help.
    It only started up(with on&off with psu), all fans were running and light from gfx card, but it didn't get any signals from monitor nor would cd-rom eject. So it was on, but not booting up to windows or bios...
    Also looking at my manual I noticed I'm missing the POWER LED cable in JFP1. I've searched high and low, only found 3-pin POWER LED in JFP2.
    Where is this missing Power led with 2 pins ? Is this cable important?
    Is my psu dieing?
    Can anyone help this gal in desperate need of help? 

    MIST PSUs is manufactured specially by a reputated PSU manufacturer to a dedicated entusiast shop in norway aimed to silent computing among other things .
    MIST as a brand is dedicated to silence .
    They have also come out with CPU-coolers , watercooling , case fans , etc in the MIST line .
    Theese PSUs are well known by overclockers and people wanting sileced products and is top of the line .
    The previous MIST psus were based on FSP/CWT PSUs and MIST where modified silenced models and thourougly tested exclusively for microplex.
    With their new one there have been some secrecy from them about who they have been working with to manufature the current sample .
    The shop has now had a deeper role in setting demands of the products and specs and component choice of the psu to be produced together with the manufacurer.
    It's said that the latest one has been under development over almost one year , and microplex has rejected several
    samples before they got it like they intended .
    (i have a hunch that it's the danish chill-innovation they have worked toghether with)
    This new one is a atx 2.01 based one with two indipendent +12v rails each at 18A , -36A of +12v , and it's efficiancy is very high over the whole specter.
    Max. @ +3.3V and +5V together is 275W.
    Max. @ +12V1 and +12V2 together is 380W.
    Max. @ all outputs together is 500W .

  • New BIOS (v2.1) for MSI Neo Plat 7030

    I noticed that there are some fairly new BIOS versions available for the MSI Neo Platinum v1.0 (7030).
    I'm currently on BIOS version v1.7 and that's been stable.
    Has anyone tried version v2.1 ?
    I've heard bad things about v1.8 so  I'm not messing with that.

    it is for me
    i only updated BIOS when i was trying out some overclocking, and it gave me some better results, than when i was with BIOS 1.4, which i had used for a year previously with no issues
    if you don't need to update BIOS, then you don't need to update BIOS; its not like updating a driver
    BIOS flashing stupid or not??

  • IPhone Will No Longer Sync. HELP

    I connected my iPhone to charge last night and grabbed it this morning to go to work. At work I noticed that there were no songs or podcasts on the phone anymore... hmmm strange.
    When I got home I tried to sync the phone again and got the following message:
    iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone "Steve's Phone"
    Goto the Summary Tab in iPhone preferences and click restore to restore the iPhone to factory settings.
    Ok, so this worried me a bit but i thought... what the heck, I can reimport my contacts, etc.. will suck to lose all of my SMS messages but ok, we'll try it
    Went ti iTunes, Clicked on the iPhone Prefes and clicked Restore. The I get the following message:
    The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-18)
    I tried to reinstall iTunes (no help)
    Changed to a different USB Port
    uninstalled everything and re-installed again in new usb port
    searched and searched google for solutions, all of which involved some combination of the above.. but to no avail..
    Ideas ??

    Good Job restoring on another Computer. Did anything Sync over from this computer?
    If your running Windows XP or Vista and things will not Sync over anymore, You got a couple options. Restoring was a good troubleshooting step.
    Go to Edit-Preferences-iPhone- Reset Sync History, Confirm it, Then try and Resync
    Go to Info- Scroll down to Advanced, Put a check mark in all boxes you want. And attempt to Sync.
    Seems like you already went to the Apple Retail Store. Best of luck on this endeavor.

  • Plan to Travel With an iPhone, I will NOT Use Data, Need HELP

    So in a week I leave for a month long trip to Germany and Holland. I have an iPhone 4, and I only plan on bringing it to use it as a camera. I'm staying at a family members house so wifi is easy to come by. How should I set my phone so that I will not be pushed any data or will not recieve any sort of change in my bill. 
    From my understanding if i put it on airplane mode AND also turn off cellular data in the general>network>cellular data settings that I should be fine and even if someone trys to text or call it will not go through. I just want a confirmation so that nothing makes me want to cry when I come home.

  • Success with K8N Neo Plat + ATI 9800Pro?

    I'm trying to decide on whether to go with the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB or the GeForce 6800nu. But I've read a lot of places where people have had problems combining the MSI K8N Neo Platinum and the Radeon 9800 Pro cards together... lots of blue screening or choppiness when playing games like FarCry or other heavy hitters. So that's why I'm considering the GeForce card instead, but I'd really like to stick with the ATI if possible.
    So, if you have a combination of that mobo and gfx card, please post the results of your success or problems (and why) along with your system specs.
    Thanks in advance!

    Since my power upgrade to a Tagan 480W, I haven't had any problems anymore! With the new ATi catalyst 4.9 drivers I reached 6005 3DMarks (2003 build 340) yesterday. Without any OC-ing, I think that's great! Before the Tagan psu I had some drops to 3700 3dmarks, so make sure you get a psu with at least 24amps or more on the +12V rail for this kind of system!
    No choppiness in games either, in fact they (Farcry, Colin Mcrae, CoD, Doom3 since 4.9 drvs etc etc) all look great!
    I can really recommend the ATi9800Pro 128 MB + MSI Neo plat. + a AMD64 CPU as lons as you buy a decent psu with it! I mean the ATi9800 Pro has a great price / performance these days  

  • MSI Neo Platinum questions

    Hi I am new here
    Here is the stuff i got
    MSI Neo Platinum
    Athlon 64 3200 (clawhammer) CG
    Zalman CNPS7000A  ALCU
    corsair xms 3200 1gb
    maxtor sata diamondmax9
    My zalman came in a retail box but, the backplate was not included, so i went ahead and installed it on the MSIs backplate. It seemed like a good fit and sits well now. When i powered the computer the CPU temp was showing about 64C. I wasnt too worried and went ahead and updated the BIOS to v 1.2. So now the temp is around 45C. Is this a good temp for A64?
    Also another problem that i sometimes having is that when i power down the computer and then power it back on it just hangs in bios (that was happening in both 1.1 and 1.2 bioses) It where it says Identifying devices... or something like that. But this only happenes sometimes, and i can ctrl alt del to restart computer and it boots all fine. What I am going to do is connect those LEDs and see what they show when that happens. But for now anyone heard or had something like this happen ?
    But other than these 2 things right now everything runs smothly, all benchmarks work well and system is stable.

    ok man this whole thing really got me interested how come i fitted that thing on....
    so i looked through zalman instructions i got, the backplate is not even part of the contents. And then it hit me, I got the Zalman CNPS7000 ALCU not Zalman CNPS7000A ALCU "A" after 7000 is the difference. Quick visit to http://www.zalmanusa.com resulted in .... the A version supports more sockets, but overall they are the same thing, thats why mine didnt come with a backplate. http://www.zalmanusa.com/usa/product/view.asp?idx=41&code=005009
    now how come it fit and 7000A needs its own backplate to fit is interesting as they look identical.
    to answer ur question SAB i just used the 2 nipples that came with my zalman. Stays on pretty solid.
