Net Issues with P6N SLI Platinum

Hello all. I am having issues getting the internet to work on my new system with the following specs:
Mother Board = MSI NVidia nForce 650i SLI Chipset Based P6N SLI Platinum
CPU ............ = Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, LGA775 Pkg 2.40 GHz, 8MB L2 Cache Total, 1066 MHz FSB
Memory ...... = Geil 2GB PC2-6400 DDR2 800 CL=5-4-4-12 1.9-2.5v (x4)
PSU ............ = Zerodba 620W
Video .......... = EVGA e-GeForce 8800 GTS
Hard Drives . = Seagate Barracuda 320 GB SATA 3/GB Transfer
OS .............. = Vista Ultimate OEM 64-Bit
I can't get the system to recognize the router or network or even access the internet when plugged directly into the cable modem. I've power cycled plenty of times, and the other systems in my network work without fail. I've disabled UAC, windows firewall, and anything else that might be interfering on the software end. I have installed the latest drivers from the msi site, and have even installed the latest nforce drivers from NVidia's site as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

1. make sure you enable LAN in the BIOS
2. make sure the LAN driver is properly installed in the BIOS
3. make sure your cable modem can detect your LAN - did you implement MAC address filtering? set the LAN speed to be detectable by the cable modem, ie 10Mbps?
1. The onboard LAN controller is enabled in BIOS
2. Not sure how to go about doing this exactly.
3. MAC address filtering is only enabled for wireless connections and it seems that the router is "seeing" the system. I have connected directly to the modem as well to no avail. I'm not sure how to set the LAN speed to be detectable to the cable modem.
"Check your network speed and try not to use Auto negotiation. Try setting it to 100Mbps full duplex, or 10Mbps full and see how it goes."
Where would I be able to adjust these settings exactly? Thanks for the help so far!

Video messed up with P6N SLI Platinum and ASUS EAX1950PRO

Specs:
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4G
4 GB Patriot Ram
P6N SLI Platinum
ASUS EAX1950PRO
RocketFish 700w psu
Problem: I don't get the grpahics card post screen just the MOBO's and the video is all messed up. There are multicolored vertical blinking lines running up and down the screen. I can see through the clutter that it is posting fine (it looks for a boot device) but I figure I need to fix the graphics issue before going any further.
I am working on a new system, so at this point everything is unplugged except the RAM CPU and video card. I have tested it out switching the ram sticks out so unless they are both bad it is not the ram. What is my problem? ANy help would be rad.
Thanks
Ryan

Test your video card in a different system or try a different video card in the P6N SLI Platinum.

Issue with K9N2 SLI Platinum LED Status Indicators?

I don't know if there is a problem or not with my K9N2 mb. When I turn my computer on the LED Status Indicators (LED 4-11) immediately show red, red, green green. It doesn't run through the usual initialization/tests that it would normally go through. However, my computer boots up just fine (using it right now). This combination of LED's says that there is a problem with initializing the IDE controller, but I don't have any IDE devices. So, I don't know if there is a problem or not, but I just don't want to ignore it either. It used to not do this, it would run through the initialization/tests normally. The only thing that I have done was upgrade the PSU from a Silverstone Zeus ST65ZF 650watt to a Ultra X4 1200watt. Any help or information would be appreciated, thanks.

Well, I guess that's nice to know. As long as everything is working, I'll just ignore it. I was just wanting to be safe than sorry. Thanks.

Sound issue with p6n sli fi

My recent system build seems to be working OK except I cannot get any sound from the rear connector. I am using spkrs attached to my monitor (simple stereo). I finally tried connecting to the front panel socket and this works fine. Is there something I have missed during installation or maybe I just have a defective component on my board. Any suggestions will be gratefully received......

Phew I found it, it was a setting error
Always is. Congratulations! Is the build going smooth now? Or still problems?

Screen Freez (memory expert needed) P6N SLI platinum

on my pc when i install the first two ddr2 800 and one ddr21066 everything is fine but when i install the fourth ddr21066 the system either freezes at boot up or while doing something. can any expert in memory tell me which setting in bios i have to adjust so i do not get this freeze up (mouse andkeyboard) , your comment will be much appreciated.(this is definitely a memory related issue)
MSI P6N SLI Platinum
Q6600
MSI 256 graphic card ATI HD 2400
2 GB crucial DDr2800 CL6 and two DDR2 1066 CL5
mastercoll 500Watts
window xpsp2

im with Jack and MSI doesnt support 1066MHz on the P6N SLi Plat.
Read here:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=1140#menu
Fifth line from top, 800MHz is max.
And yes i know it says so on the box, that 1066 is supported, but it isnt.
But if you think you'll have a faster computer, well it isnt noticeable, that is if you have any gain, cause usually those high MHz DIMM's are on higher latencies then lower MHz DIMM's. If you gain anything its a few nanoseconds we are talking about here.
For instance 1066MHz 5-5-5-18, is as fast as 800MHz 4-4-4-15
Also DDR2 1066MHz is usually overvolted 800MHz memory and thus will have a shorter and sometimes more unstable lifespan.
Furthermore if you use 4 sticks-o-ram on this board, your limited to 667MHz, otherwise your memorycontroller would be overflooded with too much data.

P6N Sli Platinum front audio panel and CPU temp voltage issues

Hi All,
I got my P6N Sli Platinum yesterday, build up my computer without any major issues. However I have noticed that my audio front panel does not work. It could not detect my microphone when i plug it into front auido panel, it works fine for the rear auido panel though.
Another issues is I highly doubt the accuracy of CPU temp sensor. Msi 's software monitor reports my CPU temp is around 19-20 degree, I know that's too good to be true even I am using a water cooling system. Btw my cpu is E6600. Anyone else has the similar issues?
The third, I notice my CPU voltage is bouncing between 1.1 to 1.24 in CPU-z. And the multiplier is changing from 6 to 9, frequency is changing from 1.6g to 2.4g. I only see this in CPU-z. Msi 's own software reports CPU running at 2.4g though. Is this cpuz issue or something else?
Finally, any tips to max the overclock potential of this board? I have overclocked to 3.1g but there are some crashes. Going higher the board just won't boot up. I read a review on anandtech.com says 1.22 bios is good for oc. Where can i download that? I only found 1.1 bios on official site.
Any reply will be appreciated.
Cheers

C2D-CPUs have a digital internal sensor to monitor CPU Core temperatures. Have a look at those with Core Temp ( http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/ ). This Tool reads the temperature data directly from the register of your CPU. There is nothing wrong with the sensor. It is rather the MSI tool that does not read the data it provides correctly.

There is no issue. What CPU-Z allows you to see there is the C1E-feature of your CPU at work. When there is nothing to do your processor will automatically reduce Core Voltages and frequency to save power and keep temperatures down. As soon as the work load increases the multiplier is set back to x9 and core voltages increase dynamically. It is meant to be a good thing.
I have overclocked my system a little and I like that the C1E feature is still working at this speed setting CPU frequency to 2GHz and core voltage to 1.144v when my system is idle.
If you have problems with this feature you can turn it off in BIOS. The option is labeled as "C1E Support" and might be hidden somewhere. You may be able to hit "F4" to unhide it.
The MSI utilities are not the best tools to monitor your system. CPU-Z, Core Temp, Everest, Speedfan, Memset, Rightmark Memory Analyzer for example do a far better job.

P6N SLI Platinum BIOS issue...

So I purchased an e8400 processor after the 1.6 BIOS update came out for my P6N SLI Platinum, got it yesterday. I put the processor in and it didn't work . I turned to Google to have the internet fix the issue, and it seems if I adjust some options in my BIOS, it may make the e8400 work. Two of the things it said to change were EIST and C1E. I went into my BIOS, and tried hitting F4 in the CPU menu to get C1E to show up, but it won't. The EIST option is no where to be found either...
Anyone else running into the same issue, or got a e8400 to work after changing stuff in the BIOS?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: Forgot to post my system specs
Mobo: P6N SLI Platinum
CPU: Intel Pentium D 930
RAM 2GB (1GB x2) Patriot DDR 667 (PC 5300)
GPU: eVGA nVidia GeForce 8800GT
PSU: Thermaltake 500W

I used that bios, but on my regular p6n sli and got it to work. here is my topic on it
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=115998.0
Dont clear the bios after you take out the old cpu or it wont work
I have been tinkering with it all day just to see what the actual problem is and it doesnt seem that it is the EIST OR C1E. from what I have done it seems that it is a problem with the voltages that keeps it from booting. If you change those with the other cpu in and then save and exit. Dont let it reboot, shut it off before it starts to boot up again and put the e8400 in

P6N SLI Platinum mobo with hard drive/sata crashes

i've experienced a (now recurring) problem with my hardware over the past several months. i've come home from work twice now, once about 2 months ago, the other just today to find my computer stuck at the windows xp loading screen. if i tried to reboot the system, it would hang at that point, until i disconnected the offending drive/sata channel (i had 3 hard drives in my system, 1 150gb drive with operating system, ect, and 2 500gb drives for storage (mp3s, video, ect). i've narrowed the problem down to either the motherboard or the sata cables (i don't have spare cables to test with), as the hard drives work perfectly in an external usb enclosure. any ideas of what could be wrong?
basic system stats:
msi P6N SLI platinum motherboard
intel core 2 duo E6600 2.4ghz processor
crucial ballistix DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) 2 gb SDRAM
EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS video card
western digital raptor 150gb 10k rpm SATA hard drive
western digital caviar 500gb 7200 rpm SATA hard drive
PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750w power supply

in brief,
1- if you have one memory it should be in slot 1, closest to cpu, if two X 1Gb then they should be in one and three.
2- do you know what is virtual memory if so have you made adjustment or not.
3- you have freeze due to wrong bios setting till we get a good picture of your bios difficult to pin point the mistake, so use either a digi cam or web cam and take shoots of your bios then we can pin point the mistakes

P6N SLI Platinum (MS-7350) BIOS issue

I RMA'ed my P6N SLI Platinum MS-7350 and got back another identical board. However, this one has BIOS 2.7 in it. Bios 2.7 according to MSI page on this board is actually for the P6N SLI (also a MS-7350). The latest BIOS for the Platinum is 1.7. Im confused. Should I reflash it to 1.7 so that it has the proper BIOS instead of a BIOS from the P6N SLI not platinum? I know I have the platinum because the box says so AND the board has the copper heat piping across it unlike the MSI picture of the SLI (non-plat).

Quote from: TeachDJ on 05-January-10, 01:15:33
I have those: eSata, Firewire, and SPDIF port on this board yet, BIOS is currently flashed at 2.7 as mentioned. Thanks.
Then they clearly did return the Platinum board to you, as the P6N does not have those extras.
And (apparently) the v2.7 BIOS works with the Platinum as well as the plain P6N. Fascinating. Maybe you want to contact Tech Support about it, but if it's working--why are you concerned?
I'm interested because my P7N Platinum has a v1.3 BIOS, and (like your P6N) the lesser-capability board, the P7N, is up to BIOS v2.2. So I have wondered "Why is the simpler board getting more recent updates than the more sophisticated one?" But my system is working perfectly--it ain't broke so I don't need to fix it!

Followup-- MSI P6N SLI Platinum does not work with E8400

I am just following up like I said I would... and the *RMA'ed* E8400 still fails to post with a BIOS updated (v1.6) P6N SLI Platinum. It works fine with an E4500... but not the E8400. MSI really shouldn't say it's compatible when it's not. I am going to send the board back to Directron and replace it with the new Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L. Very unhappy with MSI right now and probably won't buy from them again. I'm going to stick with another gigabyte for now. Anything I can do before sending it back tonight? I am very disappointed, especially because this really is a perfect board for me.

You can drop MSI an email to see if you are able to get an engineering BIOS to try out.

MSI P6N Sli Platinum won't Post with E8500

Ok, I've been pulling my hair out on this one off and on for a couple of weeks, and I figured I'd finally just post here and hope for some advice.
I recently bought a C2D E8500 CPU on newegg to replace the E6420 I currently have running in my system. The motherboard is a P6N SLI Platinum with the v1.7 Bios. The problem is that whenever I swap the E8500 in for the E6420 the computer powers on, fans start spinning, and then it just sits. No beeps, no lights, nothing. When I put the E6420 back in the whole thing boots up just fine. I've cleared the CMOS two different ways (removing the battery and hitting the CMOS reset button), and nothing seems to help. I have tested the CPU in another machine, and it works just fine. The MSI tech support has told me that the problem shouldn't be happening, and has suggested that I RMA the board to them. I'd rather not be without my computer for 3-4 weeks, so I figured I'd post here and see if anyone had any advice before I pull the whole system apart and send the MB in.
PSU is a 700W OCZ
Graphics Card is EVGA 9800GT 512MB
Ram is 4GB AData
Let me know if anyone sees any obvious problems.
Tim

I please have a look here:

Sending the board to MSI to be serviced is probably your only option to solve this.

P6N Sli Platinum event viewer error

On my new P6N Sli Platinum mainboard, every time I boot up I get the following error in the event viewer log:
"The ForceWare IP service service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified. "
I think this has to do with Nvidia network drivers. The network seems to work ok, although I have by default two network controlelrs: one labelled "1394 Net Adapter" and another "NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller". Which of these that handles the actual connection seems to change randomly, but it doesn't seem to affect the performance.
I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 with all the updates from winupdate.
Does anyone else have the same issue?

I still get this error in event viewer each time I start up. I went to administrative tools->services and tried to enable the Forceware IP Service manually: system cannot find the path specified. The path box in the service properties is empty.
After googling I found that the service corresponds to the following executable: nsvcip.exe. This file is not found in my system. Is this normal? Does anyone else of you have this file?
Apart from the error message in event viewer my system is functioning perfectly.

P6N SLI Platinum random shutdowns

System:
MSI P6N SLI Platinum MoBo
Intel E6750 CPU
Etasis 850W PSU
Corsair CM2X1024-6400C4 RAM (using only 1 stick while troubleshooting)
MSI NX8600GTS GPU
OK, this is a strange one. I put my new system together and everything seemed to be working fine. POST looked OK, and I was even able to install Windows. Everything seemed stable.
One thing that troubled me was that the lights on the D-Bracket were all red AFTER POST. In other words everything was working, but the LEDs were showing CPU problem. I tried everything I could think of to get the lights to go away, but nothing worked. I disconnected all HDs, DVD, and floppy drives. I reset the BIOS, and reseated the CPU. I tried putting RAM in different slots, tried both sticks solo, but nothing made any difference.
It was getting late, so I decided to go to bed and run memtest86+ over night. When I got up this morning the system had powered itself down. When I turned it on again it powered itself off within a minute of being turned on. This was with all the drives hooked up, so I disconnected everything and now it's been sitting happily in the BIOS for over 30 minutes.
So at this point, it seems like it could be a power supply issue. Unfortunately, I don't have another PSU with an 8-pin CPU connector that I can try in this system. Any thoughts? Next steps to try?
Other possibly useful facts:
When I boot into the BIOS the D-Bracket lights show #3 green, and all others red, indicating "initializing keyboard controller". But when I boot past the BIOS to a CDROM or Windows, they show all red, indicating "CPU problem"
The system makes a brief chirp the POST screen. It doesn't sound like a beep code to me, and I've heard some boards will do an "everything's OK" beep like this. But it could be important so there it is.
Although it seems happier with all the drives disconnected (indicating a PSU problem), it still shows all red LEDs on the D-Bracket (indicating a CPU problem).
This is not the first system I've built, and I was fairly careful about putting everything together the right way. The only goof I know of is that at one point I was unplugging and re-plugging things and I ran the system for a while without connecting PCIE power to the GPU. Could that have broken something?
Any help would be much appreciated.
-Steve

UPDATE: I tried hooking up my old 400W PSU with 20-pin ATX and 4-pin CPU connectors (apparently this is OK to do) but there was no change. Still four red LEDs.
I also tried removing the PCI-E GPU and booted it up with an antique PCI VGA card. Again, no change. Maybe I really did get a bad CPU?
Any other ideas, before I try to return my CPU?

P6N SLI Platinum Won't Load Vista or XP

I trying to load an OS on a new build, but have run into an issue. The build went well, but the OS won't load.
While trying to load Vista (32bit) it says "Loading Operating System" and the progress bar goes all the way to the end but then never gets any further. It just sits there.
So, not being familiar with Vistas load I thought I would tried XP Home SP2. With this I am at least able to partition the drives and choose quick format but once it gets to 20% this too freezes.
So far I have gone into BIOS and chosen to load both safe defaults and optimized defaults, which makes no difference. I have also tried removing one or the other of the memory sticks, again no help.
Here is the system particulars.....

Regarding Dual Channel Mode:
Am I reading the manual wrong? In the illustration it shows 4 DIMMS, the closest to the CPU being DIMM1, followed by DIMM3 (which are yellow), then DIMM2 and lastly DIMM4 (which are orange), and it states that in order to take advantage of dual channel to place the memory in DIMMS 1 & 2 and/or DIMMS 3 & 4
Sorry. I did not realize MSI relabeled the DIMMs. You are right of course.
[CPU] - DIMM1 - DIMM23 - DIMM32 - DIMM4
