[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond Can't load certin Programs

Hi I just built a new pc.
Specs:
CPU- 3.73 GHZ Extreme CPU
VGA- 2X eVGA 7800 GTX KO edition
RAM- 2GB of Corsair XMS DDR 667
HD - 4X Western Digital 320 GB 7,200's
MOB- MSI P4N Diamond
I ran diagnostics on the RAM & Hard Drives and the all have checked out 100%. I have used several diffrent BIOS settings & VGA drivers, but I can not get
   CyberLink PowerDVD 6.0 Deluxe Install Problems
   LiteOn SmartBurn v3.1.10
   Nero 6.6.0.13 Ultra Edition: Nero Burning ROM -> File -> Print Disk Cover
   CyberLink PowerCinema 3.0
to install.
The error for Power DVD reads: The remote procedure call failed, then goes on to say invalid memory location for a bunch of different files during setup. My only thought is the MOB is not compatiable with these applications. If anyone could assist me with this problem that would be much appreciated.

Here is my power supply specs:
Power Supply: ANTEC TRUEPOWER 2.0; Model: TP2-550EPS12V; 550 WATTS
+5V @ 40A
+12V1 @ 19A
+12V2 @ 19A
+3.3V @ 32A
-12V @ 1.0A
+5SB @ 2.0A
.....and some details of my problems:
The item is not defective. The problem is with SLI technology in general. As it turns out, an SLI computer is strictly a gaming machine and will NOT run normal application software reliably.
Here are a few examples of application software that will not run:
Example 1:
I purchased the MSI ATI Theater 550 Pro TV Tuner. I tested the tuner in a non-SLI computer and it performed at a level of quality well above anything I have ever seen before. I highly recommend this tuner. When I installed the tuner in the SLI system, the Windows Messenger failed to run and produced some really strange error messages (Active Movie errors). An attempt to run CyberLink PowerCinema 3 (the application software bundled with the tuner) will totally freeze Windows XP requiring a re-start.
Example 2:
You can forget trying to install CyberLink Power DVD 6. The installation setup will crash producing a “Catastrophic Error” message during the installation.
Example 3:
Nero Burning ROM 6 will install and you can burn CDs and DVDs but forget the CD Labeling software. An attempt to perform the following action will crash the application:
Nero Burning ROM -> File -> Print Disk Cover
Example 4:
LiteOn SmartBurn v3.1.10 is a utility that enables a user to identify the manufacturer, maximum recording speed and other parameters of a blank CD or DVD simply by inserting the blank disk in the drive and running the application. This application will produce a, “Memory Access Violation”.
.... also i can't pull out the memory because 1 have 2X1GB modules. All of the othe RAM i have is DDR not DDR 2

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond System Randomly Freezes

Please help if you can. I've tried everything.
System Specs.
Pentium D 840
MSI P4N Diamond
4x512 Kingston DDR-II 667 (2 Matched Pairs)
2x 76Gb WD Raptors in Raid 0 (on SIL controller)

Thermaltake Armour Case
Thermaltake 560W PurePower PSU
Thermaltake Big Typhoon CPU Cooler
Windows XP Pro OEM
System freezes randomly. Tends to happen quicker if I reset the system after the initial freeze. Stress testing makes the system freeze quicker. Has frozen while installing XP five or six times. Sometimes freezes while loading (on the welcome screen). Always the same hard lock, everything stops (including audio etc).
I've got the latest bios and latest drivers (from nvidia).
I have tried almost every possible permutation of Bios Settings.
I have swapped the motherboard.
Tried just a single stick of ram, tried a single stick of another brand and also tried DDR-II 533.
I've tried using both SATA controllers, just a single Raptor (with both drives) and also a single WD1200JB Hard drive.
Tried 3 different 500+ watt PSUs
Tried using a single video card (with both cards)
Tried a P4 650 CPU (just in case the CPU was faulty, I MUST get dual core working though)
I have re-installed XP fresh for every change in hardware configuration.
What else can I do? Has anyone got a setup similar to this working?
Advice would be greatly appreciated. I've spent three days solid on this.

Still going on this one. Tried another PSU.

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond raid problem

i have a P4N diamond motherboard with a 3 ghz cpu on. I have setted up a raid 5 with 4 drives on the nvidia raid controller. on the sillicon raid controller i want to have to have 2 sata disks striped. In the sillicon bios for the raid i have configured those 2 drives for raid0 and i get 1 logical drive which i also can see from the bios. My problem is then that when i boot up the computer and begin the installation of windows xp ( and give it the sillicon driver with the F6 button ) then i get 2 logical disks on the sillicon controller instead of my striped raid0 drive.
What do i do wrong? everything looks right for me in the bios. Raid is enabled and the serial ata ports are enabled. Help please
- Jesper H

problem fixed by using the right silicon driver. the orginal diskette driver can not be used. you need to make a diskette with the raid version of the silicon driver.

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond freeze

Hi,
When using a Pentium D 830 in my P4N Diamond it suddenly freeze. It can take 5 minutes or 5 hours.
My PSU is a 560W with 35A on 12V in combined mode or 20A on 12V1 and 12V2.
The temp is around 60C on CPU and 50C on system with heavy load.
Have the V1.2 BIOS.
Any ideas ?

Quote from: ddebono on 25-July-05, 06:32:12
The latest is V1.2 that I can find.
Sorry, I'm speaking bullshit:) Yes...1.2 is the latest. Maybe RAM or vga issue (VGA overheat?!).

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond Major Raid Problems

This is a very hard problem to explain so i will be very basic i can not get raid to run on this board, with the drivers that came with the board windows will set up but then can not reboot! With newer drivers from nvidia windows can not copy files for installation.At the moment i have windows set up on a single drive and it runs fine But i did not spend all this money just to run 1 drive to me this a worthless board if i cant get raid going any one out there have any ideas pls let me know.
P4N Diamond SLI
P4 650 3.4 GHz
4x 512 Geil DDR2 667
2x 6800 gt's (SLI)
Plextor 8x sata DVD Burner
NEC 16x Dual layer DVD Burner (IDE)
MSi TV Tuner Plus
4x 80 Gig sata2 hd's
550W Rosewill PSU (I allready know its not the prob!)

Just to be clear, the process you used was:
1. In the board bios (accessed with the Del key) you enabled the nVidia raid function.
2. Then you enabled Raid for the Primary and Secondary SATA1 channels
3. You then rebooted the computer and used the F10 key to access the raid bios in order to configure the drives.
The online manual doesn't talk about step 3 at all. You should be able to refer to section 5 in the english manual from the AMD board if you don't have it in your paper copy:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/manual/mnu/spt_mnu_detail.php?UID=637&kind=1
I would think the configuration should be the same.
Good luck, you've gone past my limited knowledge on these boards.

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond Motherboard

I have bought P4N Diamond motherboard previously I have 925XE Platinum motherboard. I had faced problems wih Core Cell & Digi Cell ; the problem was when I installed software for both Core Cell & Digicell my computer freezes & restarts. so I solved that problem by not using both Core Cell & Digicel. Now I am again buying MSI motherboard and want to know that do Core Cell & digicell work this time or I will face the same problem. I had installed Windows XP (Professional) operating system & will install same operating system. Also do SI provides speacial support who buyes Diamond series motherboard?l

Today, i just build a new computer based on P4N Diamond, and i have tried to install MSI CoreCenter & Digicell software with WinXP SP1 & SP2, it seems nothing happen, it should be ok.
As to MSI 925XE board, I heard there was the issue that would show "No hardware moniter.." when installing the CoreCenter, but now, the issue has been solved, you can try to directly download the software from their website: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/software/swr/spt_swr_list.php?kind=1
You can try it . Good Luck!

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond and freeze

Hi,
Just installed my brand new P4N Diamond with a Pentium D 830. After uprading the BIOS it works with the processor.
But now suddenly the machine totally freeze. It can be on for a long time, but when using it (starting programs etc) it suddenly totally freeze and only way out is to power off.
Using Windows XP with all the latest packs, and the most recent BIOS and drivers for the mobo.
Anyone ?

ddebono, can't you borrow it from your friend, relative, or local store first instead of buy it?
Modern CPU run on 12v not 3.3 anymore (maybe started from P-IV and equivalent AMD, not sure).
And CPU draws more power than HDD/CD-ROM.
Of course CPU won't eat all of 20A at a time. But bigger room is better. And not all PSU rated correctly. (read about PSU sticky).
And when PSU are blown/dead, usually they brought friends (another component) -in my P3 system, it's my HDD!-
So considering your mobo & CPU is a premium, why don't you make it save and optimal with better PSU? Even if it's not the problem.

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond (Nforce4 Intel Edition) Problems

I hope some of you have the P4N Diamond motherboard. I recently picked this up at $250 from Newegg. Quick ship. I've never been more depressed about a new flagship product. Maybe you can help.
It shipped with bios 1.00 dated 04/26/05. I'm using it with a 530J, X700 Pro, Promise FasTrack sx4000lite RAID5 setup, and PDP PC2-5600+XBLK (2x512 dual channel kit).
With the 1.00 bios, I could not make any adjustments to DDR2 speed or to voltages for DDR2 or CPU.
I asked MSI for help. I got a 1.10 bios revision (apparently beta).
With the 1.10 bios, I could now adjust the voltages, but my DDR2 speed is still locked in the 800FSB/533DDR2 ratio. The only way I can change the memory speeds is to change the FSB (QDR) speed and the DDR2 speed changes in that ratio (as if it is set to "linked" in the bios). This only works when it is set to "manual" for speed control. If it's set to auto, I can't change anything. If it's set to linked, I can change the FSB (but not DDR2 although I can see it). I can select DDR2, but if I press +/- to change the values while in manual mode, the screen just flashes and no values change.
I'm pretty upset, because hardwarezone received a test product directly from MSI and they verify their board WILL INDEED allow for independent FSB and Memory settings. They have not yet confirmed the BIOS revision they were sent. The *only* reason I bought this board was to take advantage of the incredibly overclockable DDR2 memory I've purchased (rated to 710mhz@4-3-3-12-1) and because it's the first board I've ever seen advertised to set fsb and memory clock speeds completely independently. MSI even claims they hit 910/933mhz with this board in testing with Corsair memory (which my PDP memory outperforms on all other reviews, ie tomshardware roundup).
It gets worse. Newegg apparently isn't getting any RMA support from MSI, as they've set a policy of *returned for exchange of same make/model only* on this product and will not give me a refund (even with a restocking fee). So, I'm holding a $250 motherboard that is effectively no better than the $100 Asus P5GDC Deluxe I replaced with it (I don't plan to SLI in the immediate future, but somehow I don't expect that to work as advertised either since hardwarezone didn't bother to test it).
All I've heard from MSI fanboys is how great MSI is and how overpriced Abit and Asus are.. so I decided to give MSI a try (the first time I've done that since the days of the first athlon boards they made).
Tell me I've not been fooled by marketting lies into buying a board that does not offer the functionality it's reported to have. Someone has to have this working... please help me.
Also, I'd be at the diamond member forums, except.. GUESS WHAT!? The diamond membership card included with the P4N Diamond doesn't work there. :( Boo.
Newegg and MSI have thus far hung me out to dry. Maybe you guys can help me.

Thanks for the replies. I've already tried everything mentioned. I absolutely cannot change the DDR2 speed at all. The only way to get the value in the DDR2 speed field to change is by setting the overclock method to manual and changing the FSB(QDR) speed, which updates the DDR2 speed field automatically in the 800:533 ratio.
Am I really expected to be patient when review sites receive cherry picked goods to review that have significantly more functionality than the consumer board I purchased, which is effectively lying to consumers (like myself) to get the $240 price of the board? I'm not angry with anyone here, of course. I'm just trying to verify that the problems I'm experiencing are affecting other non-review site owners of the board, so I'll know wether or not I ever want to trust an MSI review again.

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond

Hello ppl,
could someone please tell me if the MSI P4N Diamond supports P4 830 straight out of the box, or whether it needs a bios update to get it to recognize the cpu...
Thanks in advance for any replies

Ask where you buy from, if bios is latest........... if NO. Ask the seller/retailer to flash to latest bios to support CPU..........

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond - Very Very Slow!? :(

Hi everyone,
I just recently (3 days) bought a new MSI P4N Diamond (with Digital SLI) motherboard. I have an MSI NX6600 TD256E graphics card, 1GB RAM (Value Select DDR2 - 533 - matched pair), a new PSU - Tagan, +3.3v / 28A, +5v / 48A, +12v / 32A, -12v / 1A, -5v / 0.8A, +5vsb / 2.5A
Running an Intel P4 3.0GHz- LGA775, 630, 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache
I have two harddisk drives - from my older system, one is a Maxtor 90GB UATA, and the other is a Seagate Barracuda 150GB
I am running the Seagate drive as primary as it contains my Windows XP SP2, all updated system and it boots up fine - however, the system is tremendously slow! :( I think it's even slower then when i was running my older PII system! Any suggestions? As i am really baffled and disappointed. Perhaps my settings need some adjustment - but i have no clue ! :(
Any help / suggestions will be appreciated - i have looked around the forums, but didn't see anything directly related.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Faiz

Hi,
Check if bios is upto date.
Check in bios that CPU cache is enabled.

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond - RAID 5 plus two SATA DVD-RW setup

Can someone help with a good bios config to give RAID 5 across 3x 200GB and 2x Plextor SATA DVD-RW. I'm guessing the HDD's should be
on SATA 1-3 and the DVD's on SATA 5-6, not too sure what to enable/disable in the bios. I have configured the HDD's as RAID 5 so far but not installed the OS yet.

Fixed my problem by fitting the DVD's as IDE devices and setting PATA.

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond - HDD query

I have a SATA RAID5, two DVDRW fitted as primary/master and secondary/master. I have fitted an old IDE drive as secondary/slave and the bios recognises it, however XPpro detects it but does not show it in the disk manager. What do I need to do in the bios to get XP to pickup the drive?

Quote from: NovJoe on 23-July-05, 17:15:32
I need you to test if the HDD can be detected if it's in Secondary Master.
Don't have it as a slave. Set it as a master on the secondary channel and make sure no other devices are hooked up at the time to the secondary channel. Make sure jumpers are set for master (or jumperless if western digital)
Good Luck
Jeremy

[nVidia Series] P4n Diamond Freezing

FIXED WITH NEW BIOS V1.3

That's usually ram, power or heat. Your power supply should be OK
You can test the ram with Memtest86

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond Freezes

Hi I am completely unable to get my new system up and running as it suffers numerous random freezes
The parts are as follows
Pentium D 830 Processor
Corsair Twin2x1024C4Pro DDR2 Ram
AcBel API4PC02 PSU (+5V 30A, +3.3V 30A, +12V 21A, +12V 20A, -12V 1A, +5Vs 2A)
Sony DRU-720A DVD+RW
Creative Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS
Seagate ST380011A FDD (now dead)
Until I can get a new hdd I am using a 13 gig Seagate Medalist ST313032A
Thermaltake Armor Case
Any advice would be appreciated.

I have run memtest with no errors reported. I am/was running windows xp sp2. Clearing CMOS makes no differance. It will freeze on a clean win xp installation on a hdd that has been fully repartioned and formatted (as well as another hdd i have tried on). I have also tried a winXP with no service packs installed. All freezes are within or while booting windows (as well as during installation)
