New Old Topic.. P6n Plat.. Sli.. No POST

After reading about all the boards that did this. I ordered mine anyway. Knowing that it would not happen now.. MY board was built in feb 07 .. I did a basic install I Stick of Kingston Mem in slot 1 a Nx8600 Graphics card. and my 500 watt pc power and cooling PSU. I hit the power button and the Fans come on the little orange light by the Cmos Sw. comes on and the ethernet light is green...Monitor does search and finds digital Hookup.. Black Screen, that is all. The D-Bracket Lights do nothing.. I took all the components from a working Mother board of another Brand. The Video card is new the Power supply is rebuilt by Pc power and cooling. The memory is new. This exact same thing happened to my last New MSI mb... So Is this another DOA They claim on the box that each new one is tested. Hmm.
Please Help !! I am using a pent 133 with 65meg of ram. and windows 98se, to write this.. built in 1995
What can I try that maybe I have not.??. Please give me some suggestions. the memory is certified for this machine...30 amp on the 12v, all else listed below..

I did a lot of investigating all the info I could find on the Board.. It seems that MSI only test a few out of 100 they think that is cheaper just to RMA . I have always been a fanboy for MSI a long time.. also this site.. so I guess instead of screwing around. I will RMA it to New Egg on Monday. I feel it is the Voltage Regulator causing these problems I think I read that at some geek site... I will disconnect the non working D-bracket and see if the speaker will tell me anything
This is why I don't buy Hardware like some other on here then buy a motherboard and they don't work together.. I can't afford to make mistakes I was going to use a ATI graphics card but with the Nvidia I said no.. now my HDTV card won't work, Waaah... Ok I am just upset because the board didn't fire-up like I wanted it to after all reading I done. Please let me know if you find out anything between now and 2pm Monday.. Shipping Time and I will do the same...

New old topic

I have a new/ old t61. reading i see that there was chatterabout SATA II drive speeds.
What is the current bios capable of. is it 3gb/s or 1.5 gb/s...
thinking of replace drive to SSD

If you watched the utility install it, then your computer was able to boot, it's installed. If it failed, your computer would be about as useful as a brick.
I recommend you load the bios settings, where you'll notice the bios date (I believe) is march 18th 2011. Now press "f9" key to load default settings, then make any changes you like and finally press "f10" to save and exit.
ps. you might want to check your SATA setting before you do this, if it's set to "compatibiliy mode", then you may need to change it back to that setting after you load defaults or your system may not boot.

K8n plat sli no post/ NVRAID question

so my mobo wouldnt post, and i sent it in for rma. when i get it back how can i recover my nvraid 0 raidset i created? should i be ok with just setting it up, then trying to boot to it or what? has anyone had experience with this?

I don't think that matters. It doesn't on a VIA RAID controller I have. When I switch the two drives, RAID is functioning just normal. I think the same goes for my NVRAID on the board below ...

MOVED: K89 NEO4 PLAT/SLI Do I have to send it back?

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
K89 NEO4 PLAT/SLI Do I have to send it back?

No worries.
As for the Bios flash all you need to do with a newer core top get it to come up for posting or Bios Adjustments/Flashing is to use a single Stick of RAM. That forces the CPU's Memory Controller into single channel and that will get it done. If you try to post in dual channel with older Bios's that do not fully support a newer chip it will lock and you need then just to remove all RAM except from Slot 1 and reset the Bios as per your user manual.
No worries as it is not as hard as it sounds.

MSI K8N PLATINIUM SLI - TROUBLE POSTING?

To start with my spec's
AMD 3500 S939 'Venice' Stock Cooler
MSI K8N PLAT SLI
BIOS V 3
PSU ANTEC Truepower 2.0 550W (has 2 X 18amp 12V rails)
1gb (2x512mb) OCZ PC 4000 VX GOLD
HDD SEAGATE 200GB SATA
Leadtek 6800GT PCI Express
WIN XP Pro SP2 (OEM)
Pioneer DVD Writer
Audigy 2 ZX
All brand new and no overclocking undertaken.
My problem is that my system is a nightmare to get to boot/post. After I first built it last week it booted up fine the first time. Seemed stable as I ran through the Doom 3 demo and Thief 3 to give the system a bit of stress. It worked fine for hours CPU was fine, temp about 33-36 degrees at the time. Shutdown and went to bed.
The next day went out to boot up and this is where the problems started to occur.
I hit the power button the case fans spin, cpu coooler fan starts spinning, blue LED on motherboard comes on, the DLED's hang at chipset initiallization. Eventually after hitting the power up button on the case and resetting about ten times the system finally boots up, runs for hours like a dream, will reboot with no problems.
Next day cold boot same problem.
I pulled everything apart, pulled out the cmos Batt etc... Left over night.
I put it together outside the case on insulated material with 1 DIMM of RAM, HDD, Graphics Card. Same problem it eventually booted. Then it reboots fine first go while adding more and more hardware.
This is the problem once it does boot up I can reboot non stop as often as I like with no problems. If I switch off over night, when I go to cold boot in the morning it is a nightmare to get going. Is this something endemic to this board or is it a problem my particular motherboard. To me this inidcates that all the components work and that it is a motherboard problem.
I just want to know as it is only a week old and I can RMA for a new board if I do it in the next few days.
Thanks.

i'm starting to think that the problem could be related to the Graphics Card or PCI express slot. I did a second strip down of the system and noticed that when I removed the graphics card it hung on the DLED 'initalize floppy controller" and did not hang on the 'early chipset initialzation' . From BIOS changed the system setup to not to seek for A:floppy, then when I reboot (cold left overnight) without the graphics card it goes through to fully boot, can hear the HD booting up and get 4 green DLED's.(no output without a screen connected of course) The only trouble is that it virtually won't boot with my Leadtek 6800gt Graphics card at all now, it is taking 20 to 30 goes on a cold boot. However when it does it has been running for hours ok. I notice also that when I updated to the latest Nvidia Drivers, Thief 3 would start crashing in certain sections and rebooting the machine. Could this be the problem isolated stuffed Card or PCI express slot.

[solved] Old topics

I was happily reading the forum, when suddenly, on reaching the bottom of http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=47658 it appears to be a bump of a topic over a year old. Rightfully closed by Allan as we speak.
Now, I don't really understand how these realy old topics get bumped, and I'm fairly certain there's some mentioning of this practice in the forum etiquette.
(1 minute later)
Voila: I knew it: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/For … bumping.27
So, now I have wasted about 5 minutes of my life posting this, but is it a waste? Nah, I chose to post this, and maybe something good comes out of it. (Be it a laugh, funny remark, some minor improvement, someone reading and thinking 'necrobumping? etiquette? I should read up on this stuff!')
the 5 or more minutes I wasted on reading the necrothread howevere, realy felt wasted.
So I thought, I have to tell this to someone, in the right place, the forum discussion, because I thought maybe someone could come up with a brilliant sollution, like tagging [OLD] or closing them or something.
And *doh* do I feel stupid now not looking at the date of the first post I read, something someone smarter than me, like Allan, did.
Maybe there's nothing that needs or should be done in that retrospect, and I should happily go about my way with a lesson learned. "Pay attention to dates!" (Right now, when I read that, it sounds like I date but ignore the girls I date with, which I don't, because I don't date, my girlfriend doesn't let me, but when I dated her, I sure didn't ignore her .. I may have ignored others in the past though, come to think of it)
To Forum Moderators: thanks for a hell of a good job, never had any complaints! And if this thread needs to be moved elsewhere to die silently, I apologise for the work and wasted minutes that may cause you.

MSI K8N Plat SLI Audio Problems

i just built my system and i am wondering what to do about the onboard audio. i have a old set of speakers from gateway that include a subwoofer and 2 front speakers that are digital i believe. i plug them into the yellow spdif out coaxial hole (speaker plug dosent go in all the way) and i would get a lot of crackling and distortion so i took it out, i tried all teh other onboard audio and nothing works. i checked the digital output only option and unchecked it and nothing changes. now when i plug teh speakers in nothing works no sounds nothing. anybody else have these issues? im thinking about buying a sound card what do you guys think? ithough the soundblaster was supposed to be something great whats up with this? ive read a lot of issues regarding the onboard sound but cant seem to find ananswer.

Quote from: Arioch on 27-September-05, 01:54:12
The "distortion" as you describe it is static interference that goes through to the amplifier, due to the fact that you do not have a correct connection. If the connector does not fit, do not try to force it.
I would leave the case connectors unconnected for the moment, until you get sound through the spdif out. What type of connector is it to your speakers?
you are correct sir! i did some more research with different keywords after i posted my last post and realized that i needed a 1/8" stereo to RCA converter, so i hopped over to radio shack and purchased the little connector for 4 bucks and plugeed it in and walla. Thanks for the help though.
also to the guy with the link to the front case connections, thanks for the suggestion, i had all of my audio ports connected so that wasnt an issue, but thanks for pointing that out.

Quick Question MSI K8N NEO 4 PLAT SLI

Hey guys,i am new to this forums just needed some help, i am about to purchase a:
AMD 64 3000 VENICE
LEDTEK 6600 GT PCI EXRESS GDDR3
CORSAIR VALUESELECT 1GB RAM DUAL CHANNEL
MSI K8N NEO 4 PLAT SLI
EPOWER 450 WATT PSU
i was wondering woud i need to update the bios 1st or will the stock bios that comes with the motherboard will work with the venice. I am getting all these parts from Zip Zoom Fly, accept the PSU. Thanks for your help.

Quote from: Dream_true on 28-June-05, 08:14:40
Only BIOS 1.4 and above support Venice & San Diego. However BIOS 1.4 has shut-down issue with RAID. It is suggested that you let your reseller help you flash BIOS to the latest version 1.5. After flashing BIOS, Loading Optimized defaults is needed of course. Good Luck!
Support new features in that cpuid yes. But that is not the same as you are not able to boot/post your system
with an earlier bios .
I booted up a venice on a K8N Neo2 with an aged 1.3 bios (with no venice SD support) just fine .
If the bios supports 90nm cpu it will post .
New CPUID added means :
Shown on post (display)
And e.g new model spesific features (like e.g SSE3 ) enabled .
Use the CPUID instruction to properly identify the processor.
• Determine the processor type, stepping, and available features by using functions 0000_0001h
and 8000_0001h of the CPUID instruction.
• Boot-up display - The processor name should be displayed according to the processor name string
defined in CPUID Guide for the AMD Athlon™ 64 and AMD Opteron™ Processors, order#
25481.

Neo4 plat SLI raid configuration

I made a striped raid config from my 2 160gig SATA drives in SATA 1 and 2. but when i tried to install windows on it, it didnt recognize the raid config and saw it as 2 seperate hard drives. I tried SATA ports 3 and 4. and it made no difference. then i tried 5 and 6. but it uses an old raid controller and it worked fine and i installed windows on it. BUT, im about to reformat and i want to use the newer raid controller. I have the MSI neo4 plat SLI mobo. But i saw that my mobo came with 2 floppys and i only installed 1 of the floppys during windows install... do i need to install both of them? I guess that might be why it didnt work... but can anyone assure me thats the problem? I didnt think i needed both of them...

YOU HAVE TO INSTALL BoTH DRIVERS ON THE NVIDIA FLOPPY,THE RAID DRIVER AND THE MASS STORAGE DRIVER. HIT S TWICE TO DO IT. The other floppy is for the silicon image drivers,dont use it unless you use ports 5 and 6.

Don't auto archive old topics, because I might return, some day

Here is a suggestion: Don't auto archive old topics, because I might return, some day. It is really annoying, that after couple of months or so I come back, and my threads have been locked. Also the message of locking is very small, hard to notice. I just try and try to post, but nothing helps. Then I find out, oh, the thread is convieniently locked. At the very least, the message should be more clear, and different icon for locked messages.

Hi Barbara,
For some people it is a useful thing.
The Example I linked to is in iSight's forum and if you go there you will see it not that far down the Topic List.
Mostly I have seen nice comments or very late thanks as in the Example.
Currently at the top of the second page in iChat 3 forum is one I used a similar technique on myself. It is the one with the red Title. (iChat 3 is currently getting more posts than iSight is so it has progressed further down).
It is an archived thread so even further Helpfuls and Solved stars cannot be awarded ...
I will leave you to work out what I did and how it could be abused.

P6N Platinum SLI/C2D e6600 Overclock

I have a situation (i might not, thats why im posting here lol)
Currently my e6600 (week 09A) is overclocked to 3.2gHz (356x9) RAM set 1:1 @ 712, 4-4-4-12-2T timings (Patriot extreme ddr2 800 PC6400)
I have disabled all unnecesary BIOS features according to other threads for this board (spread spectrum, etc)
PSU is a thermaltake toughpower 700w modular, and of course the P6N platinum SLI.
My volts are as follows:
1.400 vcore
1.35 nbridge
4% fsb vtt
2.2 RAM
Everything else I left alone.
At these volts/frequencies I am able to get overnight orthos stable, intel TAT idle temps 33c, load 50-51c
My question is voltage. I should be able to get 3.2 at les than 1.4 vcore, yet even if i drop it one step, the comp freezes after an hour of orthos. I am seeing my voltages drop to 1.376 - 1.384 under 100 load, is that alot of vdroop? If it is, is there a pencil mod for this board, or could it me my psu thats the problem?
Also, if i up the fsb vtt, will that allow me to drop the vcore?
Sorry for the long thread, but I am very confused

Nope, every CPU is different, because some people get it like that doesn't mean you will.

Returning New Old 3.06 Ghz iMac For New New 3.06 Ghz iMac

Well of course I could not wait any longer and pulled the trigger on the 3.06ghz machine last Tuesday. Yes, I know I know you all have me to thank for this week actually being the long awaited imac update Tuesday. Just call me Murphy. Or maybe you don't want to thank me from the looks of many unhappy campers posts flying about.
But getting back on point I'm going to bring my nice new "old" baby back for the new new one with the 4 GB DDR3 RAM and the Nvidia GT130 - not to mention the 1 TB HDD vs my current 500 GB drive.
My question is, should I wipe this machine clean? I've got some stuff on it but in all honesty held off on really dumping everything I have (did not put my windows os or stuff on it yet etc) in case there was an update within 14 days of my buying it. So it's safe and still pretty clean.
Do I have to wipe this clean or can I trust Apple to simply re-image on it's way down the refurb line?
Any help much appreciated. Here's to hoping I don't have to eat the 10% rsf and can swap for even price!

Hmmm I don't know.... The more I research and the more bmarks and GPU Z screens that pop up, the more this "GT130" smells to me like an *NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS.* Which actually is a bit clock slower than the previous 3 ghz 8800GS - which is actually an 8800 GTS btw (clocked down a bit).
None the less the 9800m is a decent enough card. It's certainly a good choice for efficiency as it reportedly runs 75Mhz max. But unless it's an oc'd Apple Special (and they very well could be - often are) it's not better than it's predecessor.
Check out these links if you want to see some interesting test screens regarding the debate of what this "gt 130" card really is.

Neo4 Plat/SLI + Winnie.. Is MSI a respectable company? How can I trust them now?

It seems strange that after you simply swapped a heatsink that your mobo blanked out.
Fiirst, you should check to see if your power supply is still working.
Second, if you psu is working, you need to go to the simpliest setup....1 vid card, 1 hard drive, 1 floppy, 1 stick of ram, etc and see if you can boot...just my 2 cents.
