NForce 3: Problems with Maxtor Diamond Max 10 16MB Cache?

I heard that the NForce 3 chipset does have problems with these hard drives.
Could anyone tell me more about it? I'd like to get 2 of these 250GB drives for my system, replacing my older 80GB Diamond Max 9 discs.
Do these discs run normally, or won't they?

I'm using the first port nearest the CPU which comes up in the BIOS as Master 5 - as far as I can work out these are the Nvidia ones.
I've disabled the second IDE chain in the BIOS but it worked before that.
I did build the machine when pissed (not a great idea) so my memory of the steps taken is a little hazy.
I partitioned the disk with a Windows ME floppy before trying to install XP - this turned to be a bad idea as either XP or the board didn't want to recognise it.
Wiped partitions and partitioned it from the XP CD- fine.
Added second disk after install.

as seen from ECH's solution the Firmware update can be successful
see Maxtor K8N restart POST problem It may also be worth contacting maxtor or MSI quoting Quote
MSI and reference the ticket number I mentioned (108-050104015) when asking for the hard drive bios update.

ECH
you'll need to upgrade the hdd bios in a system w/ a non-nforce3 sata controller, as Maxtor's tools won't detect the drive or be able to update it as they don't (at least currently) support it... in the updater tool or in PowerMax.

Windows lockup problems with P6N Diamond

I have been having lots of problems with Windows XP just locking up on me. It has happened 3 times now, and I am tiring of re-building my PC from scratch. Every time, it works for a while, and then, just locks up one day.
At this point, I've removed my partition, rebuilt it, reformatted and re-installed windows. I'm currently running the AMI v1.3 bios. I've loaded the latest nVidia drivers (9.53 driver package). I've loaded the latest graphic drivers from EVGA (169.02_XP32).
I've read lots of posts in various forums about issues with SATA settings on nVidia systems, but I can't seem to find a post that is clear about the best settings. They mentioned disabling command queuing, using/not using SiL drivers, etc. Can anyone offer any insight that might help me straighten out my system? I am close to tossing it out a window.

Not quite sure how to answer, but here is the dump from cpuz:

Problems with MSI 648 Max

I have problems with my sons MSI 648 Max Mainboard, everything seems to be alhright, but when I upgraded the BIOS version to the lastest. the computer starts to hang. I have also but a new harddisk in to the computer an some more RAM. I think the problem begin in the powersupply, its just a 250 W powersupply to the computer, and we have av 1.8 GHz Celeron. Have anything had this problem, or is it something I should think about after the upgrade of the BIOS?.

I know that 250 watt is to small, but the computer have function great in 2 months. But after i have taking out the old harddisk and but in a new bigger one, and placed some more RAM (256). After that I installed Windows XP on the new harddisk, but after that I upgraded my BIOS version to 1.4. After the upgrade of the BIOS the computer starts to freeze after a while. I tried to reinstall XP but the computer freeze under the installation. I have tried to switch back to older BIOS version, but I cant make it work. I have really hard to believe that the powersupply is the reason why the compter freeze.

Problem with K9N DIAMOND at boot

Hello,
I've a problem with my mainboard K9N Diamon.
I've this configuration :
K9N Diamond
Athlon X2 6000+ with Zalman 9700NT
2x1go DDR 2 PC2 6400 at 800Mhz Corsair DOMINATOR
Thermaltake Thoughpower 700W
Case Thermaltake Kandalf VA9000BWS
GeForce 7600GT Msi
2x 320go WD HDD
Dvd burn LG H42L
So, When I plug the power cable, the pc turn on, but 3sec later it stop. I push the power button, nothink.
I change the alimentation, with a 350w enermax, 500w PFC, 500w thermaltake, nothink.
The D-Bracket tell me no infomation, at the shutdown after 3sec, the led are different at the last boot. Impossible to identify the problem.
I test a 4200+ with 2x512mo DDR2 PC2 6400 at 800mhz corsair XMS2 and NX 6200 msi, but no change. When I plug the power cable it start, and 2 3 sec later it stop.
I reset the bios, with this method :
Code: [Select]
1.Shut Down the PC.
2.Unplug the Power Supply from the AC outlet and unplug the cord from the back of the Power Supply.
3.If your Power Supply has an On/Off switch on the back of it turn it Off.
4.Ground yourself and your PC.
5.Remove all DDR2 DIMMs
6.Remove the following power connectors on your mainboard:
*JPWR1 - ATX 24-pin Power Connector
*JPW1 - ATX 12V Power Connector
*JPWR2 - ATX 12V Power Connector
7.Clear CMOS.
8.Reattached power connectors in Step 6 above.
9.Place a DDR2 DIMM in DIMM3 (the slot closest to the CPU).
10.Plug AC cord into Power Supply and AC outlet.
11.If your Power Supply has an On/Off switch on the back of it turn it back On.
12.Boot the PC.
But no result.
I test the CPU, graphic card and memory on other PC, It work fine.
So, I think the mainboard is broken, I see problem like mine, but it's different here.
I'm for MSI, I've all pc with this material, and all of my friend / custommer, but here I'm disappointed.
This is an problem with a production series default ? I dunno.
So I I'am for MSI, and I think I'v bad luck in this moment !
Sorry for my english, i come from Corsica ^^

Thanks again for your answer and Help.
I've trid to start with just : Athlon 6000+ / 512mo DDR2 .
The system start, 2sec later stop. for restart with power button its impossible. I change the power button with reset button, same problem.
I test with an screw driver, the system start when I plug power supply, and after 2 3second stop. I test to start with screw driver, I similar... but 10sec later, after short reset, hdd led, its start, for 2 3 sec ! LOL. To restart again, I did short reset, hdd, led, hdd, reset, power, reset, .......... and at one moment its star 2 3 sec !!! Dor restart I do it again. LOL.
It's very strange. When its want , it start ! U_u
So tomorrow, I contact my supplier to change the mainboard ^^ !
I think its the only solution !
Thank again for your help, If you have many idea, I take that again :p
See you soon

All sorts of problems with P4N Diamond

Hello all
I am trying to get my P4N diamond motherboard to work and I am starting to get pretty p****d off with it. I have built many systems before and on the whole they work fine pretty much straight away.
The first few times I tried to boot the syetem up I got a series of low and high beeps from the board and I couldn't even get into the BIOS set up screen. After unplugging USB devices and network ect I finall ymanaged to get into the BIOS. If I leave my printer plugged in (USB) I get a beep from the system speaker every now and then.
I then tried booting to windows. I have 2 windows builds on my hard drives - both of them crash when I try to boot into them, I have tried safe mode.
I then decided that I would install a fresh copy of windows (even though I only did this about a week ago). I put my windows CD in (XP media centre) and try to go through the normal set up procedure. I I try to repair the current installation or install a new copy it crashes each time it examines the discs.
I then load the drivers that came with the MB as the wondows installer is booting up - I load 3, 2 form one disc and 1 from the other. Now when I try to install a new copy it hangs on please wait.
I have a 400W power supply this one, 2 IDE CD drives, one IDE hard disk (secondary) and 1 SATA Hard drive. FOr most of what I was trying above I had the IDE drive disconnected and was jsut trying to get it to work with the SATA drive.
I think this is something to do with Raid drivers (even though I don't want a RAID array) but I don't know how to fix it.
I was hoping to have this all workign for tomorrow morning. Now I am goign to have to use my slow old laptop for work instead.
I REALLY hope someone can help me with this.

I might have a little bit of insight for you on your problems.
1. Beeps from your P4N:
You should get one beep for every USB device you have connected to your system.
2. Windows crashes when installing:
Make sure that you have NO USB devices connected, if have USB mouse or keyboard, get old ones for initial install and then once windows is running connect them, also you can get adapters. Also make sure that you only have ONE stick of RAM in when installing. If you have two, wait till you have windows up and running to install the other. Make sure that you have NO scratches on the back of the CD.
3. Diamond Clue CODE no good.
Call MSI on this, you are not the only one.
When building a new computer you should always build bare bones to make sure that you can boot with no errors. Its really not needed to have your printer hooked up the first time you are going to boot up your new computer, these are the type on things that cause conflicts. I would try to get things running bare bones here...that means the mininum. Try one hard drive...then work your way up. If you dont want RAID it should be easier for you, make sure that you have the jumper settings right on all drives. ALSO it would help if you would create a sig line (see mine below) with all your hardware. Make sure that you incluse your PSU 12v...you have a dual rail 15 and 14. It will help the mods help you.
GL and post back with ?'s

Problem with p4n diamond

Hi i just finished my first computer with this mother board and when i went to turn the power on the first time it would not start except for a few second and then it would shut off. Tech suport refered to my proccessor via website to check proper instalation. I checked and it was proper and then i tryed to ask if this was a bios problem and I was asked to pay 10$ for a new bios. msi has already sent me a bios chip when i asked that my revision one would not fucntion with my pentium d 830. is there anything else that can be the culprite with or without being "kindly refered".
thanks
p4n diamond sli
pentium d 830
gforce 6200 grapics card 128mb
true power 2.0 sli 550W
2X1 gb g skill memory 533 mhz

I figured out why the other drive partions werent showing. turns out the windows i installed (windows xp pro 64) hides the non partiond drives and make it so you have to go into administrative options to format so that they are viewable. as far as i can see the computer up and running . Happy days

Stability Problems with P7N Diamond Continues

Big bummer. I've had this system since April, took a month to get it working as the first board I ordered was bad, this one seems to be a bum board. I've came here and a few other places, but help has been kind of hard to find.
Here's what I got:
MSI P7N Diamond
Intel QX9650
2x 2GB mushkin DDR2 1066 (XP2-8500) Timings: 5-5-5-15 2T
I have 4 HD's: all are seagate baracudas: 250, 500, 750, 1TB
MSI NX8600GT1GEZ
At this point overclocking is out of the question. All I want is a reliable PC that runs to its specifcations. RMA-ing this board is a last resort as often enough the RMA boards aren't worth a crap anyway, dont know if this is just the case with lower-end boards, but I hate having to wait, and I'm really ticked about the whole thing.
The computer reboots at random, I've found "more stable" configurations, but usually the machine will not stay running for more than 24 hours without a reboot. The most stable configurations are with the official 1.2 BIOS, setting the NB to 1.250 v, CPU Volt: Auto, SB: Auto, DRAM: 2.10, and I have manually set the memory timings: CL: 5, trcd: 5, trp: 5, tras: 15, and Command Rate: 2T. The FSB Speed: 1333, and the DRAM Speed: 1066. Temps are normal, and range from about 100 F at idle, and 120 F load on the CPU.
The voltage on the CPU is on the high side on Auto, the QX9650 can run on as little as .98 v at stock and this board is giving it 1.23 v on auto. The board also tries to set the timings on the memory to 7-7-7-24, which I feel has something to do with it.
I'm not an overclocker, I don't know what all these voltages do, I've only changed settings that have either been reccomended or have a warning setting (ie turn red).
I'll try a beta BIOS if one is available, but I was unaware that this board doesn't fully support the 45-nm CPU's.
There is NOTHING wrong with any of the hardware (except the board perhaps), I've tried other memory, PSU, even RMA the CPU, does the same thing. Everything has been tested, every possibility I can imagine, this problem has been haunting this system for months, and I'm almost to the point of buying a cheap as board that has some credibility that my hardware will work.
This is my most critical computer, I do everything on it, but I didn't buy a $300 motherboard to have these problems, or find that my CPU scores half of what it should when it is running stock, everything on this board is below stock, benchmarks are way below what they should be.
I'm up for some ideas, suggestions, if needed, I'll RMA the board, but it the return board does the same thing, I've lost all my faith in MSI. My last system had a P4M900M2 and it kicked butt, and it's a $50 board! Go figure these boards are worse than imported cars.

Quote from: NovJoe on 27-September-08, 12:40:17
By means of instability, can you describe the symptons of events that happen?
Can I have a list of the PSU models and RAMs models which you have tested?
Have you try the hardware on another board? If you have done so, what are the results?
I have not tried any of my hardware on this board, I have tried other memory on this board, this is the only board I have avialable to me that support LGA775 so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place on that. The memory I tired, couldn't tell you the exact model, but it was Apacer DDR2 800, and was listed under this board as tested memory, i do remember that much- if that helps any.
As far as overclocking, I was told that overclocking my rig would make it stable, which i feel in this case is a little more than bumping the FSB eitherway. But no this happens under "stock" settings. Orginally with the 1.0 BIOS the machine would sometimes give me a multitude of BSOD, CLOCK_INTERRUPT (A clock inttrupt was not recieved in a timely manner on a secondary processor), DRIVER_IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
Only way to get the machine to run "stable" is to severely underclock, with the FSB at 1137 and DRAM at 1034.
Other things. Benchmarks (SiSoft Sandra Lite 2007)
CPU: Drystone: 39000 MIPS / Whetstone: 28000 MFLOPS
Memory: 7 GB/sec (1066 with correct timings)
Both appear to be under par, CPU particularly, and in the event of tinkering, only see a jump in performance when adjusting the multiplier from 9 to 10.5, which isn't stable, stable enough to run a benchmark. So I'm not sure where the problem is.
This might help, the original thread from back in June.

Problems with P7N Diamond

Very Sorry if i upset you!
MSI P7N Diamond Ver: 1.1 with Bios 1.3
2x1 Gb Corsair xms2 PC2 6400 tested and works on same board but not this one.
2x500Gb Samsung F1
Win XP Pro SP3
cannot update bios to 1.4 from 1.3
Tried USB method, CD, Floppy even safe mode command prompt.....disabled everything but the drives with bios files( usb,cd,floppy) but it still it finds the disabled Hardisk and boots into windows.
Memory will not work in Dual channel...sometimes it boots but nothing on screen.
Single channel boots most times but after trying USB or CD method it sometimes does not boot into windows.
Tried online too but only comes up with 1.3 bios
MSI support is none existent or impossible to get any sense out of them...after repeating my name and email address several times over the telephone i am still not sure if they understood.
I have filled in the online report system 3 times over the last two weeks but no reply and nothing active in box although it says report complete after submitting.
Have tried all the ways stated on updating bios.
I have updated many bios's on various boards, ASUS, ASrock, Aopen, Biostar etc no problems! Even modded bios on Asus boards.

Quote from: stooper on 04-September-09, 06:04:06
Against my better judgment, I'm going to reply to this. By your own admission, the motherboard was functioning fine in single channel mode. Your issue only occurred under attempts to operate in dual channel mode. Considering the real world benefits of dual channel memory are arguably negligible, one could remark it's such a minor technical detail, that nobody need b infatuated over it.
Indeed, again by your own admission, the problems were resolved after you disassembled and reassembled the system with different cables. Since your arrival, you've been quick to hijack other threads, spew frustration and venom over your issue, and vent agitation against the trouble and bother with all this crap you've had to endure. Yet, all along, it seems there really was no defect at all on MSI's part.
You've taken the time to customize your profile avatar with a nice Leeds United animation, but can't be trifled to actually learn about how your equipment operates and how to troubleshoot and optimize it. So it's so long and farewell and thanks for nothing, hmph! That's quite a remarkable attitude.
Good luck with your future Asus adventures. Perhaps you'll be more satisfied with that choice, perhaps not. My sense is people with unhappy, wretched personalities will have the odds against them.
Oh, and please don't fool yourself that you have so much more of a life to live and real work to get done than anyone else here. You know nothing about the forum members here, but your demeanor reveals the type of life you have. I, for one, don't envy you one bit.
Take a look at reviews of this Motherboard you will see that most people come to the same opinion as myself.
As for poor support it seems it is a bit hit and miss where ever you go. Some get good support some bad all from the same company.
I have a nice life living in the English countryside with lots of friends, a dog, three cats and nice girlfriend of many years. A massive garden full of fruit trees, fields full of horses both front and back and good neighbours.
Thanks for your good wishes and have a nice week-end your self.

Weird problem with my 648 MAX-L board

Hello friends:
I recently brought a 648 MAX-L board and had a weird
problem: every time when I power on the system, it
could not find my hard drive (Seagate 80G/7200 rpi).
But when I reboot, the hard drive is found and the system could then boot without problem. So the problem
is that I have to reboot one every time I'd start my
PC. This is weird. I suspect something is wrong with
BIOS battery?

if you disable fast boot does it start first time
a weak psu may be related to this,drive not spinning up fast enough first time

XP install problem with Maxtor SATA

I installed XP Pro on an older 4gig IDE drive first, everything booted fine and worked great. However when I received my Maxtor 250 gig SATA I cannot install XP on it. The problem is that I copy all the necessary files onto the drive and when XP reboots to get into Windows the first time, it hangs or goes into a reboot loop. All I get is a blank screen, no error messages. I followed the "single SATA drive" procedures setting the drive up as a single array as well as just not loading the RAID drivers at all. Both give the same result. Also tried switching the SATA connections between 3 and 4. Is this a power supply problem, as it only has 18a on the 12 volt? The Maxtor drive is detected and installs when booting the 4gig IDE into windows. Any ideas?
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
Kingston 3200 HyperX
Maxtor 250GB SATA
Athlon 64 3000
Thermaltake 410W
NEC 2510 DVDRW

I had similar problems when I setup my system.
I got a WD 120 GB SATA. I have XP Home upgrade CD. I was using a Sony DVD-ROM. I have built and re-built my older systems using my XP Home CD and never had a problem (and using a DVD-ROM).
But with my SATA drive I got errors that some files could not be copied to the hard drive. Windows would say press "Enter" to try again and then after a few "enters" it would then copy the file and continue. It would stop about 4 times with this problem. All files eventually copied, but then Windows would fail duing setup. Sometimes a BSOD...sometimes Windows setup would say it had encountered an error and could not continue.
I tried 60 GB partition...80 GB partition.....one time it could not read the drivers from the floppy disk and I had to make a new one.
I tried everything. Took out my X800 and put in a TI4200. Tried different RAM.
When I (accidently) formatted the HD for one partition (the full 120 GB) it worked perfectly.
I am still not sure what the problem really was..I wish I knew. But once I got Windows up and running and updated, my system has been rock solid stable.

Dadilo, you have gone to some length but sadly no positive result, but at least you have cleared some of the ifs and buts. i have looked at your mobo bios even so it says it supports your cpu q6600 it seems there has been a few updates (see links, particularly please pay attention to the pointer in pictures). you have these options left to you.
1- put the pc on it's side and take the 240 volt plug out (no power what so ever) and clear the way from any cables etc.. and remove the mobo battery with a Small screw driver (push the clip to one side the battery pups out) and hold it in your Palm for ten second or so then put it back and put everything back make sure the single memory is firmly in place so is the graphic card. then connect the power and all cables etc the power the pc.
2-your last option before you give up is try another cpu on the mobo preferably core 2 duo rather than quad and if you get it working your next move is to update the bios and i do not know how good you are in updating bios???. if none of these works then sadly the mobo is faulty in my opinion but i may be wrong :
