MSI P6N SLi-FI - Nothing happens!

I recently just purchased a whole new system from newegg. I purchased the following components:
Motherboard: MSI P6N SLI-FI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130082
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6300 - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115005
Power supply: FSP Group (Fortron Source) AX450-PN, 12cm FAN, version 2.2, 2 SATA, PCI Express, 450W Power Supply - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104954
RAM: CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400 - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145590
Video card: MSI RX1950PRO-TD256E Radeon X1950PRO 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127271
Hard drive: Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144701
And lastly, I threw it all in a case: COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel, SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119068
Now, I hooked everything up, turned the power supply power on, and a beautiful LED light on the motherboard started to shine proudly. Basking in the glow of my orange LED, I confidently pushed the power button on the case, to find... nothing. No fans started, no whirring of the HD, just silence. I double and triple checked the cord going from the motherboard to the power switch, turned it around, begged it, but can't get any response from the motherboard. I was looking into if my power supply was compatable with my motherboard, and it seems like it should be. Does anyone have any ideas of what else I can check?

Two different specs. The motherboard is designed to handle either the 8 pin or 4 pin cpu connector. Did you hook up the 4 pin? Did you use the 20+4 for the main ATX? Is the power supply set to 115v? (may say 110v or 120v)
Also are you certain you have connected the power switch correctly to the motherboard. (You can try jumping the pins with a screwdriver). Recheck the manual and make sure you are using the correct pins. Also disconnect the reset switch just to make sure it is not stuck in a reset state.
Try with motherboard out of the case. (It may be grounded)
Try with minimal components.
Reseat the CPU.
Well, I tried all of these. I re-seated the processor, which looked fine originally, stripped out everything except the processor, RAM, and video card, re-connected all of the power cords, took the motherboard out of the case, and jumped the pins with a trusty pair of scissors.
Success! It booted right up, the fans started, and there was a large sigh of relief.
I have no idea what it was wrong, but it seems ok now. Of course, I haven't even connected a monitor or anything, so there's a long way to go, but this was a rather important first step, don't you think?
Thanks guys

Maximum temperature at the junction point (where the die is glued to the chip carrier inside). Max temp is 100°C for Allendale and 85°C for conroe. The internal sensor coretemp uses does not return a absolute temperature but rather how many C° is left until Tjunction is reached. So to calculate the temperature they use Tjunction - Sensor Reading = Temperature. You can see here how speedfan's wrong assumption of 85°C for allendale creates a 15°C offset.
3x for the info, but what is the thermal specs of E4300, which is 61 sth

Im not sure if Bios update or modification will fix this, and im beginner with fixing or updating Bios.. can someone help me please !!!

thanks for advice Mike...^^
Well, i succesfully flash my bios to version 1.4 with no problem at all...
upon first boot before entering bios, the first line
A7346 V1.4 071808
I even try to run MSIHQ USB Bootable tool to detect what bios version im using and it says
MS-7346
PCB Ver 1.0
Bios ver 1.4
bios date 7/18/2008
and my pc runs perfectly...^^
but i have some little problem with my system, when i replace my old intel celeron 420 with my new C2D E8400 (SLB9J) then turn the power on, nothing happen, the indicator LED at the front pannel of my chassis remains on intead of blinking (sorry for some of my bad english speeking) ^^.. But when i swap it with my old intel_Celeron420 processor, its works perfectly with Ver 1.4 bios... im sure i follow instructions according to guide. I also try Clearing CMOS but, no luck..T_T
1) Is there any bios modification or adjustment that i still need to do with my old processor before replacing
it with my E8400??
2) Or does my components were unstable to sustain my E8400 (E0)??

Bios problem on MSI p6n sli-fi

Hi, on december i've the bios beta 2.13 on the msi p6n sli-fi and an e4300.
I changed to an e2140, and started the problems:
If i plug a ps2 mouse, then starts the beeps, here a record of then, i look for beep code, and dont find this combination on beeps:
If i dont use the ps2 mouse, the board start fine and goes ok.
Another problem was that the back USB, dont work, they detect perfect on the Admin Device, but if i plug something nothing happens :(, sometimes take the usb keyboard when boot, so i flashed the bios thinking could be any proccesor bios incompatibily, but after that, windows or while booting, dont detect the usb keyboard, or wharever i plug.
Yesterday, i've a surprise i attach an old USB gamepad, after a while, i taked good the gamepad (propably usb 1.1 gamepad, its a cheapper one). So after this which is the problem? Because of another gamepads, keyboard, usb flash drives and another things i plugged on the back, nothing work except for that old gamepad.
THE front usb works perfectly fine, without problems.
So what could be the problem? I think to go back to bios 2.13 beta bios, but i dont have back up :(
Please some help, i'm lost with this problem

No video card?
Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU and load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS after that. See if that changes anything.
If it doesn't, unplug the USB Front Panel Connector from the board's USB Pin Header. After disconnecting, check your back panel ports again.

MSI P6N SLI Platinum + E6850 + 533Mhz (PC-4200) RAM?

Hi,
I got hold of an E6850 (1333 MHz FSB) CPU for upgrade and I would like to know if it can run with 2Gb hynix RAM (533MHz PC-4200) on my MSI P6N SLI platinum (Rev 1.0). If it will run, how much performance loss would there be compared to using 667MHz or 800MHz RAM?
Thanks.

I am not sure if the Nforce Chipset/Memory Controller is able to support a memory bus speed that is lower than FSB Clock Speed. Intel Chipset usually can't do that (1:1 usually being the minimum ratio supported). However, on your board, the memory speed is not directly tied to the FSB Clock Speed and can be adjusted independently, so the situation may be different. The bottom line is: I can't tell you for sure if it will work or not and therefore suggest to simply test it and see what happens.

If it will run, how much performance loss would there be compared to buying PC-6400 800MHz RAM?
With the memory bus running slower than the Front Side Bus, there will be definately be a performance difference that is not insignificant.

Who has this setup - MSI P6N SLI Platinum & E8400

This message is intended for anyone who has the MSI P6N SLI Platinum & E8400 in a working state.
I've had the pleasure of perusing these forums for a while in hopes of finding an answer as to why my E8400 isn't working with my P6N SLI Platinum. I've updated my BIOS, I've RMA'd my chip, I've even contacted MSI support (with no reply I might add). I have been so careful when handling these components and thoroughly reading the instructions, to no avail. I've got the board and all components working with a different processor. I've tried the voltage modifications that many have said work, I've tried different memory, I even tried a different video card. So I'm stuck in the same boat as many it seems, however there are one or two posts on this forum and others where people have said they actually got it to work!
So now I really hope I can get this question answered - What is a working config? One of the things I haven't tried yet is a new power supply. My current PS is 650w, but has the 4 pin CPU power connector. From the posts I've read, it shouldn't matter if I have the 4 or the 8. But in reality, does this CPU work on the P6N Plat with an 8 pin connector? I'd be willing to go buy a new PS if thats the case! What else could possibly be the issue? Any and all feedback is appreciated. i really didn't want to start up another thread for this proc/board issue, but perhaps someone else has joined this board by now that may provide the little piece of info that I've been missing.
Cheers,
Aaron

according to the website, the 1.6 BIOS had cpu updates in march so I's assume it would have support for the E8400.
What exactly happens when you turn on the system with the E8400?

MSI P6N SLI Platinum + 3TB HDD

Hello, I want to buy a 3TB SATA DRIVE for my old MSI P6N SLI Platinum and i want to know if i will have any problem!
SPECS:

3TB TOSHIBA DT01ACA300
thanks!

As I already said:
Quote from: flobelix on 29-January-13, 23:58:02
No, that won't work as that requires a UEFI bios and GPT format which is both not possible with your old board just supporting classic bios. You won't be able to access the entire drive space which makes a (costly) 3TB HDD quite useless.
Better just get nothing above a 2TB HDD.
Connection won't change that.

MSI P6N SLI Plat - Harddrive not appearing in my computer

Hi guys,
Ive just bought an additional sata2 drive for my pc. I already have a raid - 0 setup.
It shows in bios and i managed to find it using the 'manage' option through XP. Its been formatted to NTFS, and despite being able to copy files over to it,
it doesnt appear in the My computer window?? this is really beginning to bug me, the only advice online has been to format the drive which ive already done twice!!
I am no expert, so iam out of ideas. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Update on Pentium D 930 + MSI P6N SLi Mobo

A short time ago I was searching this forum for information concerning the compatibility of the Pentium D 930 processor with the MSI P6N Sli Mobo. It seems that this processor was not officially supported for this board. A few helpful people offered the opinion that they would likely work just fine together. I just wanted to get back to you guys and say thank you again, that turned out to be exactly the case. :D
After an embarrassing no-post situation caused by the leftover mounting spacers from my old board (which used 12) to my present board (which uses 9), everything went smoothly. Acronis with Universal restore allowed me to regenerate my operating system. After a lengthy update of drivers the computer was up and running smoothly and with a entirely welcome but somewhat puzzling difference. Whereas the old board (D945PVS) consistently provided an environment in which the CPU ran at 50°+ C (?!) and had transient temperatures as high as 58 - 59° C with an ambient 20° C, the new set up consistently ran below 40°. These results were consistent no matter what type of thermal pastes were used, be they my homebrewed colloidal silver in silicone stopco*k grease or Arctic Silver. (that's hilarious... the anti-obscenity software interpreted a fully normal English language word as obscenity)
Well, whatever the reason....sweet.
I have only attempted simpleminded overclocking as the options are somewhat limited by the processor. With the frequency for the GPU locked at 100 MHz, simply adjusting the FSB to 1000 raised the apparent speed of the CPU to 3.75 GHz, up from the stock frequency of 3 GHz. An attempt to set the front side bus at 1060 resulted in a non-bootable system so back to 1000 it went.
I have not adjusted any of the system voltages. So far I have not stress tested this other than to simply use the computer for several hours. No apparent problems yet. The system temperatures have remained between 38 and 40° C in an ambient 20°C environment.
The only thing that nags at me, and I'm fairly sure that this is of no importance is the fact that in device manager the CPUs show yellow exclamation marks and in properties I see a message saying that certain drivers failed to load for the CPU and that other software may be taking their place. Well, whatever this actually means, it has had no detectable impact on system performance or reliability.

Hiya flobelix
If by manually updating the drivers you mean by left clicking on them in device manager and selecting update --> search online, then yes, I did. I do not have the exact verbiage but the resultant error message was something to the effect that the drivers had installed but failed to start and something else may be taking their place.
Driver magician fails to detect that any cpu drivers are missing. Same with online testing services such as PC pitstop. | have done a cursory search using Google to find people with similar problems but I have not as of yet seen this EXACT problem.

MSI P6N SLI board, trouble again

Well bought a new Adaptec 31205 raid card and a few Sas drives.
Strange enough the card is NOT seen by the board. Furthermore i cannot alter the bios of the board, nor the card gets detected.
Drives spindle, card is powered on, cursor stays at the left side of the screen.
Any suggestions for this problem are more then welcome.
Had to reinstall the Dell Scsi card and drives.
thanks,
Swa

ok, i give the info i got:
MSI P6N SLI board:
Intel extreme 6800 3 ghz duo processor
4 gb 800 mhz memory PC6400 Transend
Club 3d Radeon X1600 512 mb video card
Adaptec 31205 Raid controller with 256 mb cache
5 Cheetah T10 15k 300 gb drives
Right now Dell Perc4e controller (Scsi) in a PCI-E port (8 lanes) with 3 15k Scsi drives of 36 gb in Raid 5.
Board works with the Perc4E.
As said, drives spindle, lights on card are ok, no bios, not of the motherboard, not of the Adaptec.
Thanks,
Swa

It seems that your CPU (or PSU) died.
You need to borrow an old s775 processor and to test.

MSI P6N SLI V2 CPU Heatsink Q

Hi,
I have a quick question about compatible heatsinks for this board (MSI P6N SLI V2). I've been looking at a few and have decided to go for the Zalman CNPS9500A-LED (I'm pretty sure it'll fit) does anybody have one of these fitted?? I did read on another forum that there might be a problem with the underside of the board, but it wasn't very clear which board they were refering to....
Any help would be great...... Many Thanks

I suggest you also ask Zalman directly: http://www.zalman.com/ENG/Contact/GetSupport/Write_Form.asp

MSI P6N SLI-F Northbridge Heatsink dimensions?

I'm looking around for a nice quiet CPU heatsink/fan that will fit on the MSI P6N SLI-F motherboard.
there's been a couple that I've had to rule out because the Northbridge heatsink is too close to the CPU socket -- but can anyone tell me how tall the stock heatsink on the northbridge is, on this particular motherboard?
It's kind of hard to tell the scale on most of the motherboard pictures that are floating around. If anyone can tell me how many mm this heatsink rises above the motherboard, I'd much appreciate it!
(Suggestions for a quiet CPU fan to be used with a Core 2 Duo E6600 that will fit this motherboard are also very welcome. I'm not intending to overclock -- low noise is more important to me than arctic temperatures)

Quote from: somebob on 06-March-07, 14:28:59
Hm... Are you sure those actually fit on the (non-platinum) P6N?
Looking at pictures of the motherboard, a 92mm vertical fan looks like it might run into the northbridge heatsink... Can anyone else confirm that the collermaster (RR-PCH-S9U1-GP) fits this motherboard?
Yes, it does... images of it installed in the thread linked above.
