New nVidia 15.17 Drivers and K8N SLI-FI Problems

I am having problems with the ethernet 67.80 drivers in this package. They hang up trying to acquire DHCP address. I had to uninstall them and reinstall the original nVidia CK08-04 ethernet driver from the MSI CD.
Wonder if anyone else has had problems with this 67.60 ethernet driver?
Also the installer/uninstaller with this 15.17 package is buggy.
I am running WIN XP Pro SP3.

Well, it might be academic now since nVidia has pulled these 15.17 drivers off of their web site. Talk about a MCF. First, they post the wrong links so people who wanted to download Vista drivers were getting WIN XP drivers and vice versa. They no sooner fix there web links and they pull the drivers.
People with RAID were having major problems with these drivers. I do know I am getting fantastic performance with my Seagate 250GB SATA-II drives with the included Vista drivers but I am running in a non-RAID mode.
To bad that the ethernet driver didn't work with this 15.17 pack since it did recognize my NIC at 1000bps. I did reinstall the old NIC drivers which corrected the DHCP connect issues.
I am going to make it a point not to get a nVidia chipset board on my next upgrade. They are going downhill like everything else PC wise. Maybe I will throw in the towel and either go Linux or get a Mac.

Zallman CNPS9500 and K8N sli Platinum MB

Hello all i am thinking of buying the Zallman CNPS9500 LED can you tell me of any installation probs i may encounter and if this interferes with the AMD cool n' quiet operation and fan speeds.Cheers for any help you can give.
Q-TEC 650W PSU
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ CPU

The Zalman 9500 is not that heavy and it is GOOD, i recommend it. As far as the PSU is concerned ... QTec is not even close to being a major brand, but if it works, it works. The only PSU blowing on me, sofar, was an Enermax - and it did take the mobo with it
This is the new "beast" from Zalman right? I would like to know some things if you can tell me:
1. Is it quietier than the basic heatsink and fan?
2. Does it increase or decrease temps on the cpu over the basic heatsink and fan?
3. Does it cover over the memory slots (I have crucial ballistix tracer memory that lights up)?
4. Does it still cost $75?

Difference between K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI and K8N-SLI Platinum

Hey guys.... I have one question and i hope you can help me.
I'm about to get an MSI SLI Platinum motherboard, but it seems that there are two versions, the K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI and the K8N-SLI Platinum.
What is the real difference between them? As i can see in the manual, the Neo4 version has the additional SATA2 and Gbit LAN controller.
Anyone: Does your K8N-SLI board have 4 or 6 SATA2 ports? and 1 or 2 LANs?
At this picture http://www.midtdata.dk/asp/index.asp?varernr=K8N-SLI-PLAT&goto=productinfo&mainfunc=link I can see that there are 6 blue SATA connectors (lower right corner), and 2 LAN ports left to the LPT port... But the description says 4 SATA and 1 LAN, and so says the manual.
To all owners of this mobo: Does this picture look like your K8N-SLI Platinum or does it look like your K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI ?

See if this works:
Press F8 repeatedly as your machine boots up, until it comes to a selection screen.
Choose "Start my computer with last known good configuration" (or something to that effect).
This should roll back the nForce drivers, and windows should boot normally. One other thing, I'll assume you installed the SW IDE driver? (it asks you during the nForce setup, and you have to choose yes or no).
If you did install the SW IDE driver, when you get back into windows, reinstall the nForce drivers, but this time choose NO! when it asks to install the SW IDE driver.
Hope that helps, let me know!

Great Job Roger, that did the trick!
Thanks so much

K8n sli platinum problems

I have a small problem. That plastic thing that was keeping the sli/non sli board at it's place broke and now the stupid sli/non sli board just keep getting out. I've removed it from the pc and the pc is working. My question is... does this affect my Video card in any way? Or the mainboard? Can i keep my motherboard without that sli/non sli board? I have no intentions in using 2 video cards so i am only troubled if the motherboard can work fine without that board.
P.S Sorry for my bad english...i hope u understood what i wanted to say.

Quote from: s.w.a.t on 16-August-06, 13:20:07
Well, after i removed the sli/non sli board i had some problems with my LAN.
Syar thnx for the tip. I didn't know it uses only 8x.
try to get one from Flamingo. afaik they are the authorized MSI distributors in Romania. btw, you can get one from a K8N SLi Diamond, it is the same.

New nVidia 6.70 drivers

Recently i got nVidia nForce 6.53 drivers on my computer installed, they are working well. I would like to install the latest nForce 6.70 from nVidia and i am not sure how to do it. Do i have to uninstall the old ones first ?
Thanks in advance.

1. Yul is not using RAID;
2. Of course Windows will not see the RAID arrays after uninstalling the drivers ... installing the new drivers will make the array come back again, though - so I do not think that you actually killed your system (the arrays were just temporarily out-of-sight ). I have done this numerous times before I switched to a Promise card;
3. If the OS is on the array, then of course the situation is a bit more complex, but even then you will not kill your system right away;
4. it is good advice and generally accepted to remove remainders of old (Nvidia-) drivers, before installing new ones

Opteron and K8N SLI Platinum

does anyone have a decent overclock with this combination?? im thinking of getting an opteron 146/170 and was wondering if this board is good with overclocking

Yeah, the 939 Opterons are pretty cool...
The new Dual Core 156 is supposed to be especially sweet for just $40 more than a 3800X2
Get any of them while you can though... I hear that they aren't going to be around all that long.

New eMachine w/Windows 7 and HP f1703 monitor problem

Truly fed up at this moment, and not really tech savvy, but will try to be brief with problem:
Had an HP Pavilion a767c which came with f1703 monitor - purchased around 2005 or so ... ran great, no problems, monitor functioned beautifully. Had some storms come through area about 2 weeks ago, lost power several times, a767c started acting up (shutting itself off at night, but would come back on ... finally died, went through all the diagnostics, yesterday decided to purchase new controller, got an emachine at Best Buy, want to use HP monitor).
About a minute into boot, f1703 changes from a "starting Windows" message to a "PC video resolution setting out of range" moving message ... never comes up to Windows desktop screen. If I plug in an older CRT type monitor, everything comes up fine. Have checked Control Panel, shows emachine hooked up to generic monitor ... found resolution settings, they are set for the 1280 x 1024 and made sure was at 60 Hz. Just went through the diagnostic procedure here on HP for message during boot ... do not get any OSD when Menu button on monitor pressed ... I don't believe we've EVER pushed/accessed this feature in all the years we've had the monitor ... so I'm stuck at this point in going through diagnostics.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Dave, so sorry, but telling me my monitor is "VGA only" really isn't helping my confusion (original post did state I'm not too tech savvy). I had my stepson (who is more tech savvy) work with the link you provided previously to download updated driver info from Intel. Here is a rundown of everything we worked on yesterday with this beast:
As a recap - if I hook up the f1703 directly to the emachine (video port states HDMI on back panel) and boot the machine, get the normal starting boot display and also a "Windows starting" display ... before the desktop screen comes up, the monitor goes into an error message stating resolution not set correctly at 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz. From that point, I never get to the desktop, the monitor is basically frozen. emachine is running Windows 7 64bit.
Pressing F8 during boot will allow me to get into Safe Mode, but in Safe Mode I can't download anything, and I'm very limited in what I can/cannot change.
If I hook up an old CRT style monitor FIRST and boot the emachine, everything comes up normally ... I was able to find the HP f17093 driver in Windows 7 and get that driver set up with the 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz resolution. AT THAT POINT, if I unplug the CRT and plug in the f1703, I can use the computer normally and the display is excellent ... so to my way of thinking, there has to be an issue with some video command during boot that is sending a false signal to the monitor. Make sense???
I hooked the f1703 up to a different emachine (also running Windows 7) and I have the exact same problem ... locks up during boot before desktop screen. For the heck of it, I'm going to try hooking the monitor up to a Sony Vaio laptop running Vista later tonight to see what, if anything, I get with that.
Downloading the updated driver info from Intel really didn't accomplish anything positive ... although the Intel site stated there was updated drivers available, after downloading the emachine had picked up some kind of generic flatscreen driver to use and same issue existed, so that's not what's doing it.
Oh, one other thing: after getting the complete boot on the CRT, then switching plugs to hook up the f1703 I was able to access the monitor's OSD menus ... went through and reset to factory settings ... no difference ... monitor still hangs during boot when hooked up first directly.
Dave, when you said VGA only, are you trying to tell me the output on the video card is not correct for the f1703 monitor? Sorry, I just don't understand the HDMI stuff (what that is in layman's/idiot's terms). Do I have to have a different video card? Adapter?
Thank you both (CherylG and Dave) for your patience and assistance ... this is just so frustrating. I used to understand alot more back in the DOS/CPM days.

K8N sli boot problems

well, ive had my mobo for some time now, and it was all working fine. untill i got a new 20-24 pin connector. so i try the new connector out, and i get those classic power supply issues. u know , the ones where the fans spin up for a sec and then die. So i go back to the old 20-24 pin connector, and the same again. *so i thought, i need a new psu anyways* so i get a new psu with a 24 connector already on, i try the new psu, and i get the same again. the fans spin up for a sec, and then die off. this problem is kinda above my current lvl of expertise, so i'm turning it over to you guys.
*edit* the lights come on on my usb thingy too, if that helps*

9700 pro and K8N Neo 754 Problem

I have some stability issue running 9700 pro on K8N neo 754,
First I was having a signal loss problem during playing and freezing , and I have to reboot manully from the reset buttom, FIXED this problem by running the card at agp 4x instead of 8x
second problem, also signal loss but this time in dos, some time I restart my computer, nothing appear on the desktop and aswell monitor is giving me no signal, just push the reset buttom and it works, and also when I enter bios to change some setting , save and exit , and nothing on the screen (signal loss), then push reset buttom, THAT happens random, some times it restarts without problem, I think the problem is the GPU stop responding.....
I think changing some bios settings may help
I tried disabled agp fast write and agp sidedband , didn't fix, maybe there is something hidden can solve the problem

This board does have settings that can be accessed by pressing shift F2 then pressing alt F3. I've never accessed them but I hear that there is a setting called nv/ati speedup or something like that. Some have solved video issues by enabling/disabling this feature.

New MacBook Pro in Sleep and Restarts Due to Problem

I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro and my MBP will go into the screen saver/sleep mode while I am not using it. However, when I click the trackpad so I can sign back in, my MBP freezes and restarts. Once it finishes restarting it pops up with an error message stating that it restarted due to a problem. I've done a hardware check and I've updated all the software, and no known issues were found. I do not know what could be causing the problem, any ideas as to what might be the problem?

I tried to understand those posts, but don't really.
I can see all my backups just fine, but for instance the folder "documents" or "desktop" will have the forbidden sign on top of it. So I can't see what's in those folders, cause I don't have permissions to view them. It's not a big problem, and maybe I should delete all the old backups, I just don't understand why I won't be able to view them.
Are you seeing this in Time Machine, or via the Finder?
Time Machine uses special "deny everybody everything" permissions on it's backups, to keep us mere mortals from altering them via the Finder, as that can hopelessly corrupt them.
We may need to know just how you set up your new Mac.
There are two similar ways to do it; the easiest is to use +Setup Assistant.+ When you first started up the new Mac and selected your language, you were asked if you wanted to "transfer" your users, apps, and data (see #19 in theFrequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, for details).
If you did not select that option, then you would have made one user in the setup process; restarted, then used the +Migration Assistant+ app (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to transfer things.
It sounds like you may have used +Migration Assistant,+ but are not using the same user account to access the backups. Time Machine won't let one user access a different user's backups.
But try the Browse option, per #E2: hold down the Option key while selecting the TM icon in your Menubar, or right-click the TM icon in your Dock. You'll see a selection screen showing all the disks/partitions that have TM backups on them. Select the one you want, and you'll be taken to the normal TM "Star Wars" interface, where you should see all the backups on that disk/partition.

[GeForceFX] Problem updating drivers and playback probs

I have an NVidia FX5200 personal cinema and have constantly had problems udating drivers (crashes or b&w display) - last time I tried the system crashed and no amount of fiddling would allow me to go back so I had to re-install windows and ended up with new install of XP Pro SP2 on reformatted partition - this installed its own FX5200 MSoft driver (something like 5.6) but didn't install any software or capture drivers so I re-installed the drivers from the disk - this ioverwrote with 4.n version drivers. When I tried to update to the latest drivers using MSI live update my pc crashed on start as before with a blue screen message OX0000007E and I was unable to sort this out so ended up re-installing windows AGAIN and starting from scratch once more.
This time I thought I had it sorted and gradually updated the drivers dowloading and updating each of the 7 available and this time each one seemed stable... until I reached the latest 7772 when I got the same blue screen message - fortunately this time I was able to roll back to 6681, which unless 77 is essential, I'm jappy to stick with.
However I am having problems playing avis and mpeg files direct from my hard disk - they both stop briefly, sound stutters or they jerk when playing although they play fine if I burn them to cd and play from the dvd drive.
Any ideas about why I am not able to upgrade drivers successfully and any ideas about why I'm getting playback probs? All help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Shrek
I just listed my first post. I bought a dell Dimension XPS T500 in 999. It used a CT4780 that fed a good Altec Lansing speaker system. When I built my present budget PC I used the old CT4780 card. Because I?am using XP Pro I loaded Li'veDri'veUni-Pack.exe driver (released 280203). This worked fine.
But I do not have the SPDIF working as yet. My MSI? MS-6533XG?Motherboard does have?header pins for SPDIF but?so far I haven't used them. I am looking for drivers to use if I can get the SPDIF connected.
Do you have any info?on my needs?
Thanks

[GeForce 6] problems overclocking my NX6800GT with newer nvidia drivers

Hiya guys,
JUst wondering if anyone else is having issues oc,ing there 6800gt with the newer nvidia drivers?any driver newer than the 71.25 version causes freezes and corruption and does not matter what speed its at even does it at 360 1050 but at default 350 1000 everything is fine.
BUt oc,ing with the msi 71.25 and below drivers it runs without error at 400 1100 temps are at 52c load 45idle,
Have installed fresh winXP pro,thought it may have been a power problem so i ripped out my 420w thermaltake psu and replaced it with a nice new Enermax noisetaker 485w psu with dual 12v:18a rails still no go,have tried every driver availible only drivers 71.25 and below will oc,all driver up to 76.50 will not,also have tried coolbits,rivatuner,powerstrip etc..and still no go.

wow - this is my story also... I have been up and down the street with my MSI 6800GTs (in SLi) and they do not OC worth a damn... I am pretty bummed out due to the money, time, blood, sweat, and tears I have shovled into this rig and I only get stock... essentially... I have tried all the OC'ing utilities, different power supplies, volt modding... and I think it's got to be some bios setting or maybe the one piece GPU memory cooler design... the GPU and memory both heating this thing... I don't think it works that well... honestly... I have been around the net, on many forums... and the only peeps who have /any/ luck with OC'ing these MSI 6800GTs are water cooled... anyways... I have spent soooo much time on this and for that reason alone I doubt I will be buying MSI products in the future, but I would still like to find a solution which allows me to push my $900 worth of video cards to ultra speeds. I am really considering going with water cooling... but I really don't want to deal with the hassles of it right now... what I would really like to find or buy are some 6800 Ultras reference design coolers to install on my GTs... I think a lot of this inabillty to OC well is heat related... I know I can get 10mhz more out of my cards when my room is cool.... I have a LOT of air on these cards... and good ventilation... I have my system stats in another post on this forum entitled "nx6800GT OC issues in SLi" or something like that. Good luck man, and I will let you know if I find a solution for this.

*UPDATED 7/15/04* Complete guide to bioses, drivers, and needed files for the MSI K8N Neo Platinum

Complete newbie's guide to bioses, drivers, and needed files for the MSI K8N Neo Platinum:
Last Updated: Thursday July 15th, 2004
Bioses:
(In order of date released.)
1.1b3 - (Download)
- Pre-1.1, given to reviewers to use in their reviews and benchmarks.
- Less stable, but supposedly you get slightly better overclocks.
1.1 Official - (Download)
1. This is AWARD BIOS release
2. This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version:

- First attempt to fix false temperature readings. Fixes it for some people with Newcastle cores and doesn't fix it for anybody with Clawhammer cores.
1.2b12 - (Download)
- Second attempt to fix false temperature readings. Fixes it for some people with Newcastle cores and some people with Clawhammer cores.
1.3b1 - (Download)
- Another attempt to fix temperature problems?
- Possibly fixes cold boot/power light issues?
1.2 Official - (Download)
1. This is AWARD BIOS release
2. This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version:
- System can't resume from S3 sometimes when install USB device.
- Support K8 Sempron CPU.
- Turn off keyboard LED in S3.
--Quick Guide for flashing BIOS, provided by MSI--
1. Create a MS-DOS boot diskette, then copy the the .exe and the bios file to the floppy disk. Both of these files can be found in the package you downloaded.
2. Press "Delete" and go to BIOS setup while computer bootup.
Check BIOS advanced features and see if BIOS flash write control is enabled
(This option must be enabled. If you can not find this setting, it means the BIOS can be
flashed.)
3. Boot from MS-DOS boot diskette and get a:\> prompt.
4. Type "", then press ENTER
5. The flash program will then ask "Do you want to save BIOS?", please press "N" for no. The when you see Press 'Y' to program or 'N' to Exit, please press "Y" to continue.
6. After flashing complete, remove floppy and reset the system .
7. Press DELETE or F1 when prompted at first reboot after flashing.
8. Load BIOS optimized defaults, then save settings and exits.
Drivers & Needed Files:
(Note: All these drivers are for Windows XP.)
Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.40
(Please use at your own risk, these are LEAKED drivers. Password for the .zip file is "ocworkbench rules". Also, you will need to rename the WinXP_2K folder in IDE to either WinXP or Win2K else the installer doesn't pick it up.) Thanks for the link Wonkanoby!
*NEW* Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 5.03
More leaked drivers? Seems some parts of the drivers are older and some are newer.
1. Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Web Install) -or- Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Full Install)
2. Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Web Install) -or- Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Full Install)
3. Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.24
4. AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver Version 1.1.0.14
5. Nvidia Video Card Driver Version 56.72 -or- Omega Nvidia Video Card Driver Version v1.5303
(The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard Nvidia drivers.)
5. ATI Video Card Driver Version 4.7 -or- Omega ATI Video Card Driver Version 2.5.51
(The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard ATI drivers.)
6. Onboard Sound Driver (Realtek AC'97 Audio Codec) Version A3.61
It is HIGHLY reccomended that you install the drivers/needed files in the order listed above. Please note that there are two #5's because you either install one or the other depending on your video card, do not install both of them.
You will come across a problem here though. You can't install the chipset drivers without installing the Windows service pack and DirectX first, but the Windows service pack and DirectX installs need the internet to download files and you won't have working internet until you install the chipset drivers. Here's what I did to get around this. Instead of downloading the web install versions of Windows service pack and DirectX, download the full version and and put them along with all the other drivers on a backup hard drive or burn them to a CD, this way you will have all the drivers you need when it's time to install them and none of them will require the internet to download files.
Another note when installing drivers. Apparently the Nvidia chipset drivers also come with drivers for the onboard sound, but people seem to agree that the Realtek onboard sound drivers are better. When you are installing the Nvidia chipset drivers, just be sure to uncheck the box for sound drivers when it asks you which drivers you would like to install. Now you can safely install the Realtek drivers without any chance of conflicting sound drivers. Thanks for the tip Wonkanoby!

The installer still reccomends to install it beforehand for full USB 2.0 functionality... I would have put what you said in there but I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.
oh. IIRC the installer just says USB 2.0 will be fully functional after SP1 is installed. So after you install SP1 you go into device manager and u click update driver and it will auto search and update the driver.
Simplicity-wise, i guess its pretty much equal. It might take less preparation to just copy DX9 full onto a CD and install that first, then nforce driver, then right away you have yoru internet connection.
but i dunno.. i guess i will try it your way this time when my RMA"d board comes.
i will be fomratting and doing a fresh install later on today and will let you know if i come across any problems
