Msi p6n Platinum - not going into bios

Hi all,
Ive just put together my new pc. Its the first build ive done.
Trouble is i go to boot it up and its not going into the bios from the splash screen.
On the D bracket lights 1 and 3 are constantly lit: Testing base & Extended memory.
No matter how many times i reboot, it just doesnt work.
All it does is go to a black screen when i press delete from the splash screen.
Spec:
Intel E6600
Msi p6n Platinum
2 gig Xms2 6400C4 (using 512mb stick for booting purposes)
XFX 8800 gts 320mb XXX
2 x 36gb (these were raid - 0 on my old rig)
Hiper 480W
I havent a clue where to go with this, any help greatly appreciated - Thanks

I think the board is having a hard time detecting the HDD from the BIOS.
Try using another HDD in a standard non-raid setup and see if the problem occurs.
Anyway, you can't simply just pull a set of RAID drives from another working system and expect it to work in a new system as the RAID controller are of different makes.

MSI P6N Diamond and very slow BIOS menus

I'm having problems with my new setup. My setup is as follows:
MSI P6N Diamond with 1.1 bios update
2 x OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2P800R22GK
XION Supernova XON 600W Power Supply
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (not overclocked yet, having problems whenever I change settings)
EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 640MB Video Card
I'm running Vista 32bit fine as far as I can tell, everything is pretty snappy and other programs are running fine, but the machine is very slow to post and running the bios menus is a painful process as it takes about 2-4 seconds to switch selections. I tried running the board with 1 stick of ram in slot 1, with slots 1 & 3 and all 4 and it made no difference. I had a USB card reader plugged in and then removing it seemed to make a difference for a while, the BIOS menus ran as I expected, very snappy. Also anytime I switch the CPU clock from automatic to manual the computer won't post and i have to reset the bios
Anyone have a clue what could be causing this slowness and my inability to overclock the cpu?

I will be getting the Q6600 in 1 week, :D. The new G0 stepping as well :D. I'm excited.
Are you using XP or Vista? I have had no distortion or pops with my sound. Although, from what I hear the drivers for XP or much more polished than those for Vista. This is a Creative issue, and not an MSI issue. Lots of people are having problems with Vista with the standalone Creative cards as well.
I overclocked my E6700 to about 3.5Ghz, and hit a temp wall based on my ambient temps. I probably could have gone higher if it was cooler in the room that houses the computer. Although, the temps have dropped dramatically after the AS5 has cured, probably could get it pushed up a bit higher. Hopefully I don't have problems with it when the Q6600 comes in.
If you got the older B3 stepping version, it will run a bit hotter and will be much harder to OC to higher speeds because of this. I've found the P6N Diamond to be very OC friendly and like all the options it gives. The only thing I don't like is the adjustment of the Vcore lists the # above stock, instead of the absolute #. Sometimes the Vcore it auto assigns isn't 100% correct I've heard so it'd be nice to know what that auto value is. The Vcore reading you can read in the monitor section fluctuates a hair in each direction of 1.3 for me when at stock, so I assume it was 1.3 stock.

Invalid record not going into E$ table

Hi,
I am using Oracle as source and target but source and target table is on different database.lets say
base table EMP_SRC table --> ABC database
fact table EMP_TRG table --> XYZ database
and some dimension table are also in XYZ Database. and all FK constraint are there in fact table.
I created one interface in which on source dataset i drag base table and dimension table for lookup and join the code columns with base table code and on target side i am populating keys and measures value correspondence the base table data which matched with dim table.
I am using KM
LKM SQL to SQL
IKM SQL incremental update
Option:
Flow control : true
CKM SQL
when i run the Interface it is getting successful with valid records but in base table there is some invalid record also which is not going into E$ table
why it is happening ? did I miss something ? Please help me
Thanks.

I am doing little modification here
BASE_DATA:
RSN_CODE
QUANTITY
DATA_DIM:
ID_RSN (PK)
RSN_CODE
your join need to be BASE_DATA.RSN_CODE = DATA_DIM.RSN_CODE(+)
your target table will have as mapping
TGT_DIM:
ID_RSN (PK): DATA_DIM.ID_RSN
QUANTITY: BASE_DATA.QUANTITY
Now
Base_Data
RSN_CODE       Quantity
1A                    120
1B                    260

PXI-8431 not going into receive mode with VB6

I am using a PXI-1045 chassis with a PXI-8431 RS422/485 card and communicating via a VB6 program
The output of the PXI-8431 RS485 module works OK when it is in send mode, the signal levels are approx 1v and 3v for high and low, but when it is in receive mode the outputs remain at 1v and 3v instead of going into passive mode and both lines floating at approx 2v with approx 300mV differential as they should. This means when the remote devices send, the amplitude of the signal is approx half as they are competing with the PXI module, and that the centre point of the two signals are at 1v and 3v respectively. Our software does not receive the signals from the PXI module which is consistent with my theory that it is still in send mode and taking control of the lines, or maybe it has changed it to 4 wire mode.
I have swapped over the PXI card and the remote cards with our good system and the problem does not move.
I have eliminated ALL the hardware on the new ring by replacing it with a 67 Ohm resistor on the pins of a 9 way D connector plugged onto the PXI card directly. With a scope I can see that the new system is not going into passive mode, but with the same connector the old system works OK.
The only difference I can see between the 6 old rigs we have that do work and the 2 new ones that do not work is the new ones use the the NI-XNET-PXI-8513 and the old ones use the PXI_8464 CAN card. Could this software be conflicting? Is there any other updates to the NI software that could be causing it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I've had a check to see if we have any known software conflict issues with those cards but it all seems fine, it could be that the Windows Driver layer is causing some issues. If you nip into Device Manager and go to the properties of the 8431 you should be able to change it to 2-wire mode from those settings then re-run the program.
Also does the program throw any errors at all in terms of device resources when trying to move from send to receive mode?
What versions of NI-VISA and NI-Serial do you currently have installed?
Kind Regards,
Applications Engineer

MSI P6N Platinum OEM, BIOS update needed

Hi, I got an p6n platinum oem board, which looks different to the original board by msi. There are no heatpipes inside and the e-sata is missing and it looks like the p6n sli (without platinum). The BIOS ID: MSI P6N SLI Platinum A7350NM7 V1.08 110107.
Where can I get the BIOS update/is it possible to flash with original msi BIOS update?

We can not offer support for OEM products. Support is only available for MSI Retail products.
Remember, there may be slight design differences between the OEM version and the retail version. The retail bios may brick or distabilize the OEM version.

MSI DKA790GX Platinum and AM3 CPU - BIOS Update

Hi,
I am going to upgrade my current computer from an older AMD socket 939 setup to an AMD Phenom II based system
I am thinking of the MSI DKA790GX Platinum motherboard and AMD Phenom II X3 720 (Black edition) CPU (AM2+ Motherboard and AM3 CPU), but I need to clear up the BIOS update for AM3 issue before buying the components.
The motherboard advertisement states that the BIOS has to be upgraded to support AM3 CPU
My issue is this: I do not have an AM2/AM2+ CPU, and I am looking to jump right into buying an AM3 CPU - so will the unit power-up/POST with the combination of the newer AM3 CPU and older BIOS to allow me to update the BIOS using either FDD or Bootable USB Pen in a DOS environment?
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of this? Any help on this would be appreciated
Thanks

The 1.74 Bios is one I got from MSI tech support. We're trying to work through a problem with my new board. nothing major, but we're not quite there yet.
I know that Nvidia was The chipset to have for several years, but I think AMD has upset that applecart a bit with the 780 & now 790 chipsets, and with Intel
getting into the chipset game as well, Nvidia could see some rough times ahead. They may even end up dropping out of the chipset game, since Intel's new CPUs have the memory controller built on die. Hence, Intel has no real need for NVidia any more, Nvidia may end up just focusing on the video card market, unless?
My board defaults to 800mhz as well and I'm running a 720. You have to keep in mind that they have to make the boards default to the lowest common denominator as not everyone runs 1066 capable memory on their board (even though Manufacturers may spec the memory so). I also have to manually bump up the voltage, as well as timings and ratio for 1066. But, my Mushkin ram plugged in and booted with no problems, but I did have to bump up the voltage and tighten up the timings even at 800.
Interesting (Abut BIOS version 1.74). I guess it is not yet available for downloads.
So now Intel CPU's have the memory controller on the die (just like AMD). So does this prove as an advantageous concept? I expect Intel to implement better memory management than AMD. AMD drops speed when all 4 memory banks are occupied... what is the use of utilizing max RAM capability if memory controller cannot sustain the max RAM speed?
I may agree with you on the concept that motherboard should support the lowest (RAM) denominator...
However if someone uses lower than 1066 MHz sticks, system should detect accordingly, and when 1066 sticks are used, auto-detect as 1066... I still do not see the issue here. On former nVidia based boards like my MSI K9A Platinum SLI (with an AMD X2 CPU), 800 MHz modules are detected as 800 on auto, no need to manually tweak anything in BIOS. I still have to see an nVidia EPP profile enabled board which is claimed to auto detect 1066 MHz capable memory sticks by default.
On my system it is also the same... I have to up the RAM voltage to 2.2V (otherwise system is not stable), as well as setting up the timings and of course the RAM/FSB speed ratio to 1:2.66.
I am running currently 4 chips of OCZ platinum 2 GHZ (for a total of 8 GB RAM, for 64 bit Vista and Linux). Also with mine (as we know Phenom II does not support 4 sticks of 1066 MHz) it drops to 800 MHz. As well as, I needed to bump the voltage to 2.2 V... otherwise in the middle of operation, system reboots. We know what this is about, dont we ?

P6N Platinum - Unable to enter BIOS. HELP!

I have built many systems (mostly with ASUS boards), and have NEVER had an issue like the one I'm having now.
I just recently purchased an MSI P6N SLI Platinum. After installing the hardware, including two sticks of Mushkin 2GB (996561) with 2.2-2.25 voltage, I have been unable to enter the bios.
If I push the "delete" key several times, I can get to a screen that shows the board info and bios version (1.0), CPU info (dual core 2, 2.4ghz), and then the memory total (shows the 4 gb and "ok").
But that's IT. The system just stays there - it won't go into bios. The four led lights on the D-Bracket 2 Connector indicate the system is "Testing Base and Extended Memory"). I have tried some Corsair XMS2 memory with 2.1 voltage, but same problem.
Is this issue due to the fact that the memory modules are not 1.8 volts, as specified in the manual? I thought the bios would allow the higher-voltage sticks to work and then make modifications in bios.
If anyone can suggest a fix, please let me know. I've tried resetting the CMOS, placing sticks in different slots, in different quantities.
Thank you!

Try with only one memory module in Slot 1.

Was your PSU unplugged, when you did that?
If not:
Turn off computer, unplug main power cable from PSU, hit the power-on button a few times to drain capacitors and CLEAR CMOS again.
Turn computer back on and see if that helps.

MSI P6N Platinum CPU Upgrade?

I currently have this board setup with the E6700 CPU. Not quite ready to upgrade the mainboard just yet but would like to squeeze the most performance out the P6N Platinum.
My consideration is the Q6700 OEM (getting hard to find), E8500 or E8600. I have the latest BIOS installed that supports these CPU's so would I should that much much of an increase going with either one of these? Are the 8500 and 8600 stable with this board? Sometimes tells me to go with the Quad Core ...
The most gaming I do currently is with Call of Duty World at War, which the E6700 and 8800 GTS handle just fine but my most important application is Adobe Photoshop CS4.
I also plan on upgrading my operating system from WinXP x32 to Vista HP x64.
Thanks for any input

Quote from: kourosh on 13-December-08, 03:12:06
E8000 series are far superior than E6000 series they do 40 more instruction than E6 , much cooler.
E6700 is more expensive than q6600 with your mobo it is waste of money as you can easily overclock it i will go for q6600
He already got a E6700 and wants to upgrade, he's not buying one
But yes a Q6600, with a small oc will do some nice work with photoshop.
If not mistaken its a multicore program, so it will use all 4 cores.
Its cheaper as the Q6700 and with it and your 800MHz ram, you can get along way, just be sure to buy a decent cooler if you decide to buy and oc a Q6600.
The speed difference you gain with 1066MHz RAM is minimal btw, you'll only notice it a bit in benchmarks, imo not worth the expense.

MSI P6N Platinum and e4300

I just received my new MSI P6N SLi platinum along with a brand spanking new 8800GTS.
I am currently running an e4300 in a cheapo ECS board I got as a package from Fry's 8 months back. I am running the processor with the infamous BSEL mod to unlock the FSB.
Does it matter with the new board if I keep the BSEL mod? Will it hurt my ability to OC? I am shooting for somewhere in the 3.0 to 3.2 Ghz mark as I am an avid gamer.
Haven't found a lot of information on using the mod outside of the ECS boards, so really in the dark here.

Hmm so I spent a good chunk of time messing with it, and I am a bit disappointed. My problem seems to be heat, but I am hitting that wall much quicker than I expected.
Remember I am using a antec 180 case with a zalman 7000 alu/cu HS with arctic silver 5 thermal grease. Also my memory is DDR2800 Ballistix which seem fine with a linked 1:1 ratio.
I am using coretemp to read the temps and both prime95 and orthos to test for stability/heat.
I am running everything at a 9x multi on my e4300
I tested up to 2.86 ghz with a vcore increase of about .085(which seemed like a lot for that much of an OC for an e4300)
That gave me temps of about 74 on load with two copies of orthos, and about 65 with prime95, and it seemed stable after a couple of hours.
That seemed way too hot from what I have read, so I tried decreasing both the vcore and the FSB.
I played with multiple settings around 2.7ghz and a vcore increase of only about 0.0125. I turned down other voltages I had bumped a bit like my memory. I retested, and the temps haven't gone down at all. Maybe 1 degree at best with both Orthos and Prime95.
So now I am confused... I thought vcore was the greatest contributor to heat, and the difference between 0.0125 and 0.085 is pretty big right?
It also doesn't seem to matter if I run the fan on my Zalman cooler at the highest, or near lowest (once again like a 1 degree difference), or my case fans at lowest or highest.
Would buying a new cooler like the Thermalright ultra 120 make a huge difference here, or is it just my chip?
Maybe reapply the thermal paste and reseat the cooler? Its kind of hard to get in there without twisting it a bit. Arctic Silver's website suggests a thin line down the middle of IHS, but it hard not to spread it when seating the HS.
In addition, what about the NB fan included in the package? Right now I am running without it, but would that make a solid difference, by reducing the vcore needed?
Thoughts would be appreciated.... Its a bit frustrating because I read on other sites of a number of people hitting 3.1-3.2ghz with this chip on this board on air cooling with much lower temps.

Eclipse Sli - Not going to BIOS

Hi there
I was hoping that someone out there could help me! I have just finished building a new machine and decided to go the MSI route as opposed to the ASUS route (regretting that already!) Anyway, having finally managing to get past the machine not booting at all I have got to a stage where I cannot get into the BIOS and get no further than the memory check. The spec is the following:
Eclipse Sli
Intel Core i7 920
3GB OCZ Gold Series Triple Channel
Leadtek 7800 GT TDH PCi Express
Soundblaster Fatal1ty PCI
Hiper Type R II PSU
I have disconnected the Soundblaster and all the memory seems to be recognised because thats as far as I get - confirmation that there is 3GB on board. Is there anything else that I am missing or should be doing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Thanks to all who have posted on this thread with help and advice.
New motherboard came on Monday evening. Built on Tuesday evening, switched on with eyes closed and.................EUREKA!!! We have lift off!! Manged to get into BIOS and select the DVD drive etc. I went for XP Pro x64 for the moment and it has installed flawlessly. Only problem I am getting at the moment is trying to find the drivers for the SM Bus as I am getting the yellow triangle on device manager. Don't suppose anybody has any ideas, there doesn't seem to be anything on the driver disk.
Should I upgrade the BIOS? Are there any marked improvements over the pre installed (can't tell you version at moment as I at work!) If I do whats the best way of doing it. Is the Live Update thing still a recipe for disaster??
How's yours getting on bdhuf?

[FIXED] MSI G33M + Q9400 not working. BIOS update not working either.

Build:
MSI G33M (MS-7357)
2GB Kingston DDR2 RAM (800MHz)
XFX 8600GT 256MB 540Mhz (stock)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 (stock)
RaidMax 420W PSU
160GB Seagate sATA HDD 7,200 RPM with WINDOWS 7 BETA
250GB Seagate sATA HDD 7,200 RPM with WINDOWS XP MCE 32Bit
Here's what I sent to customer service:
I have been running my system with the above configuration but with a Intel Core 2 Duo e4400. I recently bought a new Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 which should be supported by my MSI Mainboard - the G33M which supports LGA775 1333FSB, 45nm, Core 2 Duo and Quad. After installing my new CPU the system would start and the splash screen would appear and I would get the regular 3 system beeps, but then the computer would reboot, and the splash screen would reappear, and it would reboot and this process will continue. I am also unable to get into BIOS. So I put in my old processor for now and it's running fine. The CPU was properly installed and should be running fine but it isn't.
My Friend told me to update the BIOS version but I'm not sure on how to do that or if it will fix it. If you could please tell me what the problem is, and if I need to update the BIOS how to do so. Because when I downloaded the 1.3 BIOS update files off your website they were .exe files and another unfamiliar, unreadable file. The instructions weren't very clear.
Thank-you,
Nick
Today I went through the forums since they haven't responded and I was tired of waiting. I came upon the BIOS Flash Thread https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=116721.0 and I decided to do it. Everything worked fine (by that I mean the preparation process). (I made sure USB Lagacy Support, Boot from other device, USB Controller were enabled and Quick Boot was disabled in BIOS. I even made the boot sequence to boot from the memory stick first.) When I start up I press F11 during POST and select Kingston (memory card) just to be sure. Then I get a screen with a bunch of system information (it seems) and at the bottom it says "Esc to boot... 10 sec" then it counts down to "0" and boots my OS (I have windows XP and W7). It should start up the BIOS update like it says.... But it doesn't... Instead it shows this system info. Does anyone know why?
Please help. Thanks,
Nick P.

I got a new power supply as suggested. The power supply I bought is a 600W OCZ modular, I got a decent price, here's the link http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=33041&vpn=OCZ600MXSP&manufacture=OCZ%20Technology&promoid=1029
I switched to the Q9400 and tried to see if it would load up but no success. So back to the flashing part....
Here's the responce I got from customer service:
This mainboard supports Intel Q9400.Please download the bios files:

How to update BIOS?
1.First of all, please make a booting disk.
2.Next go to our website to download BIOS file, then copy “AFUD4234” and “A7357IMS.130” into the disk.
3.After that, please go to “BIOS setup” and choose booting disk under “boot sequence”.
4.Under DOS mode, please type “AFUD4234 A7357IMS.130” and it will be updated successful!!
Warning:
1. During updating, please stop all working process to avoid update interruption.
2. Please must not cut the power or restart your computer during you flash BIOS!
3. Please also remember to Load Optimized Defaults under bios setup after you finish the BIOS update!
This confuses me: in instructions it says:
"DON'T FLASH FROM A FLOPPY DISK!!!!"
then it talks about making a boot disk and booting from a floppy...?
So do I do this from a floppy (why would I?!?!) or can I just do this from a DVD/CD?
How do I do this on a blank DVD and with what software.
Also, does anyone know what could've happened with the USB drive?
Thanks,
NP

Downloads from iTunes are not going into my library

When I download songs and podcasts from iTunes on my iPhone they seem to download fine but they do not go into my library. Any ideas? All software is up to date.

I am using the same account. It happened once before and all I did was connect it to iTunes and it seemed to sort itself. I tried connecting it again but it doesn't seem to have worked this time. My purchases went into my library before when I purchased from the store on my iphone and I haven't changed any settings that would stop this. When I say my library, I mean the songs and podcasts don't appear on my iPhone when I purchase from it.
Thanks for your help though.
