New Build using MSI 6600GT 256 PCI-E no Display

Hi all,
Please offer some advice and help me out please.
Just finished a new build.
Intel l775 p4 3.4 ghz on an Asus P5AD2- E Premium board, using MSI 6600gt 256mb PCI-E video card. 2gig Ram
Done plenty of AMD builds using AGP cards so this is a little different for me!
Have finished putting it all together.
Upon power up for the first time im getting no output to monitor?
card has Svideo out and two DVI conectors, im using an anoloug monitor using the DVI to anoulge converter thingy that is supplied.
Monitor just displays no input detected, monitor is fine as works on old system..
Many thanks
Andy

New build with MSI 970A-G45 won't load OS or live CD

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G45 AM3+ AMD 970
CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 455 Rana 3.3 Ghz Socket AM3
RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series 2x4GB DDR3 1866, Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR
Video Card (original): ASUS ENGTX550 TI DC/DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Video Card (operational): XFX 7600 GT
System HD: Runcore 64GB Sata II SSD
Optical Drive: LITE-ON SATA DVD-RW drive
I just finished building a new upgrade build into an existing case with an existing PSU and hard drives/optical drive. Originally the system wouldn't power on at all, which I traced to the new video card (something to do with grounding or an inadequate power supply maybe?), but in any case I got past that for the moment with my old video card. The system will power on and get to the BIOS screen. I can enter the BIOS and everything looks fine: all my drives are detected, the RAM is present, the CPU looks correct. However, when I go to actually load an operating system, it never loads. After the BIOS screen I just get a blank screen with a white blinking cursor in the upper-left corner, and this never goes away (I've tried leaving it for 10 minutes or more).
Originally I was trying to boot from the mentioned SSD which has both Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7 64-bit partitions installed with GRUB2 to load them. This didn't load, so I tried an Ubuntu 11.04 live CD in my DVD-ROM drive. That didn't work, so I tried the same CD in an external USB CD-ROM drive in case it was a problem with the SATA controller/connectors. Still the same behavior. So I tried a memtest86+ CD in both drives. Still the same behavior. For each of the tests after the first I explicitly opened the boot menu with F11 at the BIOS screen and selected the device I wanted to try.
At this point I've already tried exchanging the memory I had originally bought with the memory I listed above, since the old memory I realized after I bought it was labelled as "Intel i5/i7 compatible" and the new memory is on the MSI support list for this motherboard model. Any thoughts on where to go next? My next thought was to RMA the motherboard but I feel like I'm flying blind here. I've never see a new build get stuck at this point in the boot process.

OK posting from Ubuntu on my now-working build!!
So, after two weeks of messing around with the CPU, RAM, video card, etc., I finally have the thought that the one thing I haven't tried yet is the old SATA expansion PCI card that I put in early on at the bottom of the motherboard underneath the video card (out of direct sight, out of mind apparently), for when I try to connect all 7 of my SATA devices. I tried pulling that out - presto, it boots. Retried a couple of times for proof, keeps booting correctly. It can even load memtest86+ off a CD. Put the PCI card back in - still boots. Reconnected the sata drive - no boot. Remembered that this particular PCI card has two SATA ports and one is for RAID of some kind, tried the other port - now it boots. The drive connected to the card is also detected by the OS.
In conclusion, it was something entirely different from what I was working on, as it usually is.
I'm going to get to work connecting everything back up, getting the new video card working, etc. I suspect I'll be back at least to read when I try to get my memory working at 1866 (different forum I know). Thanks to those who responded for the pointers.

P67A-GD65 (B3) new build

I have a question about a new build using the following hardware:
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Memory: OCZ 3G1333LV8GK DDR3-1333 (2x4GB)
CPU: i7-2600k
GPU: EVGA GTX 580
Hard drives: 2 1TB Western Digital SATA (no RAID)
After Windows 7 is installed...should I install all of the software under the Driver download section on the MSI site? Is all of it needed? Is there an order to the install?
Thanks or any info...

Why not simply install the drivers that are on the disc that came with the MB? Most of do not install the utility software or Live Update, just the drivers after OS is installed. 1st would be chipset/INF drivers and such and then the latest graphics drivers from NVIDIA website.

Proposed new build K7N2-Delta L

Hello,
I am looking at a new build using a K7N2-Delta L MB. The proposed parts are:
PSU: Antec True 550
Video: PNY NVIDIA GeForce FX5700LE (128MB)
CPU: Athlon xp 3000 (333 Mhz FSB)
DVD Writer, Tape Drive(Certance Travan 40, IDE), etc.
OS: Win XP Pro SP2
Memory: Mushkin
On the memory, I am looking at either Mushkin
512 MB PC2700 DDR 222 Level II Black x 2 (1 GB)
or
512 MB PC3200 DDR 222 Black Hi Perf LII V2-New Release x 2 (1 GB)
(for possible upgrade later to XP3000 or XP 3200 400 MHz CPU)
I have several questions concerning memory.
1. Would it be better to go for the PC3200 memory even if the CPU isn't upgraded?
I believe the DDR 400 memory will run at DDR 333 speed. Am I Correct?
2. If I were later to add an additional 512 MB to the system (1.5 GB) would I lose the dual channel mode?
3. Has anyone had any experience with using the PC3200 DDR 222 Level II V2-new release Memory sticks?
I do not intend to overclock the proposed system.
It will be used for general computing use and some light printed circuit board layout work and Ham radio digital transmitting and receiving software.
I have talked with the Mushkin sales people and they are saying either memory listed above will work great at 2-2-2-11 settings.
What do the VERY knowledgeable folks on this forum think? I have read the entire forum and would like some input. Sorry this is such a long post.
Thanks,
Mark5

Hello,

MSI Z77A-G41 New Build LAN Inop (No lights)

As stated in topic. Brand new build. Everything so far works good except the LAN. I am using a wireless USB port at the moment.
Anyways, I do not have any lights on the back of the lan port at all.
There is a RealTek controller showing up in my Network Adapters screen.
I have verified that I do have the latest BIOS version.
Verified cable is good with working computer and LAN card.
Any more ideas? Or should I start a RMA...
Thanks in advance.

Very possible. A lot of work, but if the mainboard has to be RMA'd anyway, maybe pull it out of the case and test it on a plain piece of carboard or untreated wood. That will also give a better chance to carefully inspect the LAN port for any contacts that may be damaged or repairable.
Thanks a ton for the help. Makes sense.
I am the type that since I may have caused the damage myself, I wouldnt feel right RMAing the board because it wasnt MSI fault the port buggered up. Do you think if that is the issue I would have caused any other damage. Or if everything is working good now (other than the LAN port) I may just get a PCI ethernet card and run it that way and leave the mobo alone.

Problem with MSI 975x Platinum based new build

I am having what looks like a familiar issue with setting up a new build PC. Spec is as follows:
MSI 975x Platinum edition MOBO
Intel Core Duo 2 e6600 CPU
Western Digital Raptor 150GB S150 16mb 10000rpm SATA drive
Corsair Memory TWIN2X2048-6400 2x1GB 240-Pin DIMM XMS2-6400 CL5
SONY DVD-RW
The problem comes when trying to install Windows XP on the single SATA drive (I don't want a RAID array - mainly as I only have 1 hard drive!).
I press F6 as instructed to install the SATA drive - I have created a disk with the necessary driver files from the MSI website.
Based on other posts I have seen I have put all the files except "txtsetup.oem" in another folder on the floppy (either "\win_XP" or "\winXP"). However I still get the same error message:
"file \x32\jraid.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2108 in d:\xpspl\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c"
I am beginning to think I can't install XP to a SATA drive. Can anyone help with this? Is there an "official" driver floppy disk I can get from MSI in exactly the right format?
Alternatively is it worthwhile buying a small standard IDE drive and installing XP to that to get me going and then install the SATA drive once XP is going? Would it then be possible to shift XP onto the faster SATA drive?
Thanks

if you using 1 sata drive you dont set it up as a raid , in the sata options set it up as ide enhanced also in this mode no need for pressing f6 just make sure that the sata is set to 1st boot hdd , if you using 1 sata and 1 ide hdd and tring to isntall on the sata disconnect the ide hdd because it will mess with your drive letters in windows ... if you goin raid ( achi mode is only for sata 2 drives with NCQ = native command queing and your drives have to support this mode ) then in the sata drives portion set it to raid ( achi if your drives support it ) in the force part set it to force gen 1 ( for sata 1 drives ) force gen 2 ( for sata 2 drives ) then you will need to set up the raid config in the intel raid config ( its the next post screen telling you press CTRL+I ) set it up reboot reneter bios set hdd priority to intel raid 0 then intsall windows but press f6 ... yes i ran it 2 ways single sata drive and now raided 80's in raid 0 ( i dont have NCQ support yet )

Hello!
Don't think you have to flash the BIOS. Nor do I think there is a problem with the mobo.
Two main reasons for boot problems are:
PSU with not enough grunt - please say something about it.
Memory timings are too tight - don't have any special or ultra settings.
The power cable has not been attached to the graphics card - don't know really if it is needed but I think so.
Please note that a weak PSU might not reveal itself til the power cable is connected.
About flashing BIOS, if you use the LiveUpdate program that came on the MSI install CD, it is no more trouble than upgrading any driver. But please make sure you get the right BIOS, and that it solves the issue you got.

How to copy and use the RAID files for ATI SB600 for a new build

WinXP Home
MSI K9A Platinum
AMD Athlon X2-3600+
2 x Seagate 250GB SATA2 3GB/s HHD
2 x HIS X1950Pro in Crossfire
2 x OCZ2A8002GK Crossfire certified modules
Enermax Galaxy 850
Hello, I plan on setting this new build up with SATA RAID 0. I tried to follow the ReadMe file in the RAID drivers download but think I am not fully understanding. The ReadMe says to copy all files to the media...it said floppy but I am going to use a flash drive. I did so but there were two folders, X64 and X86. Do I open those two folders and copy all the contents or do I just copy the two folders directly to the drive?
Thank you

Quote from: lewislink on 05-July-07, 02:13:43
Open the sub-folders and copy their contents, or copy the sub-folders, themselves?
What about BIOS update? Will it be necessary to use a floppy or can a flash drive function?
"What about BIOS update? Will it be necessary to use a floppy or can a flash drive function?"
don't update the BIOS when everythink is working...
"Open the sub-folders and copy their contents, or copy the sub-folders, themselves?"
copy them as is.. directly with sub-folders included.

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum or MSI 6600GT PCI-E ?

Dear Sirs,
I've just bought a MSI NX6600 TD GT 128MB PCI-E and
Motherboard MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum.
I Think that one of these is defective bacause WinXP
can't work with MSI original drivers, MSI old
drivers or Nvidia drivers. The system reboots.
I think that i've tried almost everything and this
card only works badly with VesaSave driver (Generic
Windows driver).
Could a defective video card works ?
Is it possible that the problem is the Motherboard ?
Any idea ?
Help me please,
Thank you very much,
ISW

Duplicate Post.
Look for all replies here:

Adding new column in an existing report which was build using Union

While working in OBIEE 11g I encounter an issue.
My existing report was build using UNION at Criteria Tab in Analysis. Now I have a requirement to add a new column into the same report. For each criteria I have added the new column but when I go back to the "Result Columns". I see a new field added but it is not allowing me to open or edit column properties for that new column & at the same time it is not allowing me to navigate to other tabs like Results, Promts, and Advanced.
I don’t want to build this report from scratch. Is there any workaround to get it resolved?

Hi,
Just check it once the new added column data types are mismatched or not?
and the new added column should be navigated into excluded section, so u should edit the report and dragged into the table column section.
Thanks..

Anyone using HDTV Component Video on an MSI 6600GT?

I am building a system for somone and want to use a 6600GT because of the component video output. I have a 6600GT already but I have no HDTV to test the component output. Has anyone used the component output on a HDTV, and how well did it work?
Thanks

Basically the product and its drivers are junk.
I tried it in another computer and the picture was clean , until the whole thing locks up after 3 seconds.
Did the fixes they said might work, ng.
Good luck to anyone using this crap.

No video on new build K9N NEO V3

Hello all,
New build turns on, no beeps and of course no video. Stays running when is turned on just no video. All fans working (CPU, case, power, and video fans). Have tried detaching the mother board and tested with two video cards (one video card per test) and one stick of memory. Used a CRT monitor and a LCD monitor.
Here are the numbers:
msi k9n neo v3
amd athlon 64 x2 5000+ black edition
chaintech geforce 7300gt (tried other pci video card, pulled from working system)
crucial 2-1GB 6400
power supply:
dc output: 3.3v / 5v 12v--12v 5v / -12v / 5vsb
max output current: 12a / 46a 26a--26a .5a / .8a / 3.0a
32a
max combined: 230w 384w 25w
Let me know if more info is needed. Thanks for any help.

Don't know if it is that, but BIOS supports the 5000 BE from v. 2.3. Perhaps you can get help in making sure what BIOS version you got.
It does sound like Bas says processor related. Cause all required power cables are in place, right?
Why the rush in RMA-ing? You must be pretty good at computers to be able to say definitely when it is RMA time, and what to RMA... Or think you are pretty good.
I do computer support for a living but I will be the first to tell you that I don't know everything. I just don't know what else it could be and I guess I'm anxious to get my new rig up and running!! BF2 awaits me . . . It's comforting to hear someone with the same issue so that I don't feel like I'm going crazy here.
