  • Problem with 2gb Corsair ram on MSI Diamond plus mobo

    Ok first of all,the specs:
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ "Manchester"
    MSI MS-7100 K8N Diamond Plus, nVidia nForce4 SLI
    MSI GeForce NX7900GTX-T2D512E
    2048 MB DDR-RAM, 400MHz - (TWINX1024-3200C2PRO) Corsair TwinX CL2
    ( 4 pieces at 512mb ram)
    Plextor PX-755SA/T3K DualLayer / 16x DVD+/-RW
    HDD: Maxtor DiamondMax 10 (6V200E0) 200 GB SerialATA-II / 7200rpm
    running on win xp prof. sp2
    with newest version of mobo bios and drivers.
    The thing is, if i stick all the for ram pieces into the pc, it tends to crash down after a while or during the booting with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA as error msg.
    but if i take two pieces out and run all with 1 gb no problems occour. This is starting to really annoy me, so i'm hoping someone has the know how to help me out, i'd really appriciate any suggestions or or solutions, i just want to run my system with 2gb of ram

    run memtest on the system and tell us if you get any errors. it is probably a bad configuration of the memory timings and voltages. try to get the timings and voltages from the manufacturer's web page and then set up manually in bios.

  • Over clocking an amd 2100XP

    I’m just wondering if anyone out there has had any success over clocking an amd 2100XP tbird?

    I have built a few systems with the Tbred B core, and all will overclock to 2.2ghz at default Voltage. The MSI board is the best, and make sure you get a TBred B revision of the 2100. Last time I checked http://www.newegg.com had it for $87 or so. Pretty dirt cheap if you ask me, considering you are basically buying a 2700+ or 2800+ for ~$90. I am running mine at [email protected] (166x13) and it's rock solid now. Like the previous post stated, make sure you have good memory, I'd recommend Muskin. Your PSU has to be good as well...and a good heat sink/fan combo. the SLK800 I think is pretty good.

  • MSI Diamond Plus - SATA problem

    Hello,
    I have a MSI Diamond Plus board.  About 3 weeks ago my old OCZ 520ADJ power supply failed.  I RMA'd it and received a 600 ModXtreme back.  After hooking it up I am no longer able to use the four nForce4 SATA ports connected through the nvidia chipset.  I am still able to use the 2 from SIL.  Please any advice would be really helpful!  When I plug any device ( 3 HD's 1 DVD/CD Rom ) into any of the nvidia supplied ports they are not detected by the BIOS.

  • MOVED: MSI TECHNICAL - URGENTLY NEED NEW BIOS FOR DIAMOND PLUS MOBO

    This topic has been moved to BIOS.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=93688.0

    We are having a issue here with the Nvidia raid changing the raid from raid 0 to raid 2 all by it's self. This has happend twice now on the Diamon Plus board. We have tried all kinds of drives. Sata 1 Sata 2 from 4 companys with no change. We are also having the op system Windows give errors that I have never seen in 20 years of building computers .
      We have contacted tech support by phone and they have been great trying to help us , but to no good out come. Tech support told us here at the shop that this is an issue that they are working on and trying to find a fix.
    This board is a great gamer board if you can find a build of parts that it is stable with, but if not it is a on going problem.
    We are also getting the boot error on the Raid that you are on some systems that we build.
    I will say again that MSI tech support has been great in working with us on this, And we are also starting to see errors on systems that we put out with the Diamond Plus when the first came out for use. Systems that have been stable for about two months are starting to come back with issues with the drives and that is strange as one would think it would stay stable after this long running.
        But in looking back on what has happend , all the issues seem to be due to the Harddrives or Drive controlers.  Now that could encompass the buss or buss controler and or many other factors. But we do think the problem is with one of these.
     I use the diamond plus for my own gaming system, and it is fast. I love it and the changes I can make in the bios. But I cannot use the raid on the board . I have tired and it was not stable , and after two reloads I went to a fast 300 gig single sata drive. After that I have had no issues at all. And with this drive I am running as fast as I did with the raid. I would recomend that others take this route till a fix is found.
     

  • MSI Diamond Plus questions galore

    1) my 2 1 gig sticks are not showing up at ddr 400 acording to cpu z. How do i change this in bios, I know that sometimes this bios is a bit buggy. It gives me the option of cas 2. 2.5 3.0 Cpuz says 3.0 would put me at ddr 400.  I have set the 1:1 in bios but it still does not show the correct thing. unless it me.
    2 How do i update my bios, i am on xp 64 bit and it the msi install disk says it is not compatable with this mb. The bios link on msi's page is down even then they seem to only have a version for 2000/xp not xppro64 bit
    3) for some dumb reason i can not get my 2nd monitor to show up. They both work. I've switched back and forth a 100 times now. Before i just used nvids wizard. but for some reason the wizard is skipping over detecting a 2nd monitor. For reference i am running two 7800 gt's in sli. I have run through Xp's tutorials half a dozen times and i still can not get it to recognize the 2nd monitor? what could this be from.
    4) this wireless g card i have is not working. Well more specifically the drivers install 25% and croak. it just hangs. Is this an issue with xp64 compatability or is it an issue with the guy typing this out.

    Hello,
    1) Did you set the RAM settings manually in BIOS? Have you tried putting them in slot 1 and slot 3?  What type of Memory do you Have??

    2) There isn't any new bios updates yet for this board. When MSI releases a BIOS don't use Live update to flash it, might cause problems..
    Drivers are here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=710&kind=1
    You can contact MSI for a Beta BIOS if you like to try it...
    3) Do you have the latest Drivers for your Video Card?
    Assuming you have both monitors hook up to the main Video Card ( the one closest to the cpu) ?
    Have you updated your drivers on your motherboard? You can get your nvidia SLI 16x drivers here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_winxp64_x16_6.83  <-- For Window XP RRO 64 bit.
    4) Try downloading the updated Driver from the Company website and see if that works.
    Is the Card in the Orange slot on the motherboard?

  • Msi diamond plus temperature

    My chipset temp is 63c.  Isn't that a bit high?  I have 1.3v for the chipset to make my overclock more stable but the system temp seems high

    I have Thermal Cruise on, but my idle temp is 37c(OS), 40c in BIOS. The 40mm chip fan is quite loud at 5.4K rpm w/full load, but so is the vid 
    TC only works if the chip temp is within reason, yet I have been guilty of being "unreasonable" and paid the price 
    If my chipset was over 50c I would disable TC and start looking at why my case has this thermal problem.
    OC is a dual edged blade, and heat is the enemy that can slice and dice spendy gear.
    If your case can not remove the extra voltage heat on the chipset, then your OC will die an early death...
    Are you running the XFX in PCI-E 1? Have you tried 2?
    Since the top slot is close to the chip cooling area, getting air movement there will most likely help.
    Of course, if you post your case and fan lay out will will get better help

  • MSI Diamond Plus Vista Sound Driv

    I have recently upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate and now it seems I'm having the 'snap crackle pop' issue. I would have figured since Creative issued Vista drivers that this would have been resolved, but sadly no. I believe it might be possible I downloaded and installed the wrong driver since my Sound Card is an on-board card that has often been detected by windows as an SB Li've, SB Li've 24-bit and Audigy SE. Any help, advise or links to other forums would be great. Thanks.

    Hi there can you try somthing for me please, i see you can overclock so this is why i am asking you, can you set your multyplyer to x9 and see if you can take the FSB passed 300MHZ as it seems there is a problem with this motherboard going over a 300MHZ fsb, as you know you will need to reduce your memory and put this on adivider of 5/6 insted of 1/1.
    If you would not mind doing this it will help us all in the end as the extra band width is far better than a higher multyplier as more data can flow at faster speeds.

  • MSI K8N Diamond Plus - Guide to my first week

    OK, not a newb here, but been around the block quite a bit.   MSI K8N Diamond Plus is my 5th A64 mobo (ECS K8M800, my daily undestroyed computer, K8T800, my 12 year olds gamer, Asus A8V Deluxe, first 939 system, Abit AN8 SLI, first SLI gamer, and now the MSI Diamond Plus).   Had the KDP (K8N Diamond Plus) for more than a week now, and here's what I've learned.
    This is state of the art again, and we have no one to blame but ourselves for the pain this causes us when we upgrade like lunatics 
    And as usual, the drivers and BIOS are al Dente (i.e. not cooked enought yet, a little raw)
    MSI is also oddly silent on this system, which is wierd, as they are a large company, and specifically cater to enthusiasts.  But their BIOS guys are MIA.  Hopefully this will not be forever.  Asus, ABIT, DFI, Epox are always fast with fixes
    The board is a nice design, with everything basically accessible, as much as any other board.   Lots of purposeful components, not too many dumb frills.  No tooty fruity colors, but rather practical parts.
    The new 2 piece NForce chipset is fine, and the MSI guys gave us a decent, but funky cooler.  It gets a little warm to the touch when you pound on it with Prime95, or Quake4, but other than that it is fine
    The manual has a zillion typos, and fortunately for us in this forum, we have shared what we've learned.  The translation from Chinese to English leaves quite a bit to be desired, and hopefully, MSI will learn from Asus and Abit and get a better translation service.  In 2006 this is just plain stupid, especially with a $225 board   
    As usual, the mobo supplied tweaker utilities are just aweful.  They look like a hallucination from a Hunter S Thompson book, and they work about as well.  Core center is a sad state of affairs, and the rest of them just burrow their way into your otherwise stable system and cause it to have poor behavior.  And therefore as usual, the BIOS is the best way, if slowest, to tweak this bundle of parts
    Which brings us to the BIOS.  IMHO, the worst one I've seen on a high end board.  ZERO explanation for half the settings (this is not strange in and of itself, BIOS is still a black art, but in a tweakers board, we should have some basic explanation  )
    There seem to be adequate settings in the BIOS for all sorts of doodads and gizmos, but who the heck knows what half of them are.  Roger points out rightfully, that we now need to "Tune" across all these different intermediary bus structures and test.  But with the lack of info from either NVidia, MSI or anyone else for that matter, its kinda hard to know where to start.
    The board is clearly sensitive, which is a result of it being high strung.  This is no different than any "first out" product I've ever bought.  Most take 2 or 3 turns of the crank to get totally stable and forgiving.  This one hated my OCZ platinum EL 2Gb kit memory, and it brought out the worst in one of the SLI based EVGA 7800 GT COs.   These components worked in the Abit AN8 SLI (although not always great), but the MSI has ZERO tolerance for even the slightest pertubation from the memory.  It was BSOD city until I removed both of these components by process of elimination that took probably 100 hours
    Once I removed the bad components, and replaced the memory with Geil Ultra X 2x512 2-2-2-5, it worked great, ran Prime95 for 10 hours with no errors, and seems reasonably stable.  I've RMA-d the bad 7800GT CO back to EVGA, and will report back on how SLI behaves when I get the new one (cross shipped of course, I haveno patience )
    I also now need to replace the 2Gb RAM kit with something that the board will tolerate.  I may RMA the 2Gb kit back to OCZ and try another one, but I dunno.   I love OCZ but I have a bad feeling about this, even though they have great!!! support.  I may try OCZ PC4000 or the RAM that Roger successfully used.
    I did upgrade to the 1.16 BIOS, and found that some new things were added, as well as voltage control in Cell was a little better, but registration of changes in voltage is still a disaster.   I adjusted a bunch of times, it didn't register, and I ended up smoking a new A64 3700+ Diego with 1.95 volts, even though the BIOS claimed it was 1.53.  I had to rebot to see what was going on.   The Thermalright XP-90 kept the proc from melting down through the earth
    Finally, I hope this board attracts more people, and therefore more tweakers that can figure out all these gadgets and settings.  Everyone flocked to the Asus X16 SLI product, which is too bad, as this one needs lots o' folks to hack it up for us to figure out what is going on.
    The on board Creative audio sounds lousy to my ears, and I will replace it with an Audigy 2ZS gamer that I had in the Abit.  It just sounds better, but hopefully the drivers will not trash my newly stable system.   Creative scares me, they scare me alot.
    I've been able to get the CPU up to 2.4Ghz, with a .5 volt bump to the CPU and 2.9 volts into the Geil memory.  So far, so stable, no smoke coming out yet 
    I hope this info is somewhat valuable to someone on this board.  I will post details of all changes that I make, as others are doing, so we can at least take care of ourselves with this thing.

    first of all, i do think that all the settings in the BIOS have an explanation in the manual, even if it's a basic one. if that explanation doesn't tell you everything in detail, is because if you do need a detailed explanation of the settings, you probably shouldn't be messing around with those settings.

    Hello, I want to overclock my PC for better Graphics while playing games ..
    Firstly I need to know is it safe to overclock a PC ?
    what are the things involved in it ??
    Kindly provide me a guide how to over clock my board   
    It is 'extremely' important to follow xmad's request for more information about your complete system.
    Question #1, yes, it is 'reasonably' safe if guidelines & adherence to voltage and temperature limits are heeded.
    Question #2, of primary importance is having hardware that 'is' OC'able to begin with. In addition to the hardware, it is normally just a matter of setting up the correct settings in the UEFI/BIOS. You will need some utilities such as CPU-Z, H/W Monitor, etc. Also, a digital multimeter is highly recommended.
    Question #3, there are some 'basics', but every system is different and reacts different to tweaks and adjustments. When we know your components, it will make it easier to make suggestions and recommendations.

  • How damaging is it to over clock a device

    How damaging is it to over clock a device? I know over clocking is damaging. But is it the extra heat produced, or trying to use the capacitors to fast or something technical. If it is only heat, I can keep my MSI VGA card cool enough to over clock it.
    Does a chip start to become damaged or work less effeciantly if you raise the temperature. The card may work better at 5 degrees more temperatur, but does this damage it, or is there a certian temperature range. (I'm guessing temperature damages it only)
    I also thought most comanies disapproved of over clocking. Why does MSI seem to encourage it? Is this a bad or good thing?

    Why not have the best video card for an extra 6months until the next best one comes out.  Or run new games on an older video card.  That's what makes it worth the effort and the small amount of risk.
    If the overclocking/mod is done by someone who has a clue, and the reason to do so is to provide functionality to play games that require a higher frame rate or performance then one could say it may be justified. If one is not experienced in these areas and/or saved forever to obtain a card, overclocking may not be in the best interest to the user. Part of the problem is often many users lack the judgement or are driven to beat the latest benchmarks and end up with a keychain in the process. I can see overclocking towards the end of the lifespan of a high end card, but with todays latest and greatest..I don't see the point.
    Heat is the determining factor and the killer to all components, not just higher voltage wich I believe increases heat. Heat causes faster deterioration and shortens the life of any component on a molecular level.
