P45 Diamond won't load Vista or anything!!!!!

Hi,
After spending about 300 bucks on this board and several hundred dollars in diagnostics, and 2 weeks myself trying to get my system to just run... I am at the end of my tether.
Vista Ultimate x 64 (bought the disk) won't load, and BSOD after the pretty circle logo.
I updated the bios to present one. The crashes don't even get to the ATI crashes (ATI.DKG errors)
I've tried all the tricks like 1 stick of ram, video card only in 2nd PCIE slot, millions of memtests (all passed)
I would post the errors, cept I can't open windows :(
My setup is P45 Diamond Motherboard
2 Seagate 1TB hard disks
8 GB of DDR3 ram (2 sets) (Corsair xms3-1333MHz 1.7V CM3X2048-133c9dhx)
2 visiontek ati 4850 video cards
Intel Q9550 processor
Power supply is 1000W Silverstone Strider Series
I did my homework and made sure the ram, videocards and processor were compatible. Don't know why it doesn't work, nor anyone else.
Is this board garbage or what?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I h
- reduce memory clock speed to 1066 MHz by manually choosing the corresponding FSB/DRAM Ratio
- raise Memory Voltage to ~1.58V
- Disable Spread Spectrum
- Disable EIST
- Disable C1E Support (CPU Features)
- Disable everything that you do not need for installing an operating system, that is:
--> USB Controller (use PS/2 Keyboard) (tried both ps2/ and usb)
--> USB Device Legacy Support (disabled)
--> Onboard LAN Controller (disabled)
--> Onboard 2nd LAN Controller(disabled)
--> LAN Option ROM (disabled)
--> Onboard IEEE1394 Controller (disabled)
--> Onboard E-SATA Controller (disabled)
--> Extra RAID/IDE Controller (disabled)
--> COM Port 1 (disabled)
--> (Green Power [Energy Save, CPU Phase Control, DDR Phase Control, MCH Phase Control]) - removed it, ran it as 24 pin direct as well)
--> disabled aoip in bios as well.
There are kernel crashes in win xp 32 , xp 64 bit, vista 32 bit ultimate, vista 64 bit ultimate (bought 2 disks to date ) debian, knoppix, Kbuntu, Ubuntu as well.
retested my ram , CPU at today at a highly priced and well respected shop today as well.
Corsair engineering stated they tested compatibility with this MOBO, but when retested today couldn't seem to get it working..... ???
Additionally, the ram states 1.7v @ 9-9-9-24 settings for optimum. the board defaults at 1.5 v (10666). these are true 1333 MHz chips, and the actual voltage is 1.6 volts with a manual setting at 9-9-9-24 (as per corsair engineering).
They did test an XMS3 DDR3 module, but it was only the 1G x 2 set. They stated compatibility for the 4 GB (2x2GB) set due to the chip architecture alone it appears.
Silly me for wanting to run 8 gigs on a 64 bit system...
This board appears to have great -promise, but looking at the returns at Fry's, makes me wonder why MSI doesn't get off their ass and make drivers to work with all the main rams and cards.
That's how the big board manufacturers used to do business, now they just don't care.
BTW the Visiontek 4850 cards crash randomly with the ATI.DKG Driver with this card.
ATM, I am stuck with dual 4850s - those are going to join the P45 Diamond in the garage (decided not to throw them away as I dumped $368 (with a 2 year warranty on the MOBO) and cannot return it as it is well past 15 days at the store , perhaps MSI will make drivers for compatibility, world peace is achieved, and the cure for cancer is found (most likely to occur first)
I might try another MSI product in the future, but my friends (who want me to build clones of my system) do not want this board after the extend of trouble I have gone through.
Looking at EVGA and XFX at the moment, as ASUS is having a 60% return currently (poor manufacturing practices).
Thank You All for all the assistance in trying to help me resolve my problem.
this is by far the most helpful forum I have ever been on. I will keep looking, and of course trying trying to get this board running in my spare time in another system, but have run out of time in trying to get my office system running, so I am sending it to a shop so I can use this overpriced ram and flawed crossfirefire system (let someone else deal with the headaches). I am still interested in the OC features on this board, but really - "Green Power for an COD board is like trying to soup up a 4 cylinder for speed and gas mileage lol. Cheers and Have a Great Day!!!

P6N SLI Platinum Won't Load Vista or XP

I trying to load an OS on a new build, but have run into an issue. The build went well, but the OS won't load.
While trying to load Vista (32bit) it says "Loading Operating System" and the progress bar goes all the way to the end but then never gets any further. It just sits there.
So, not being familiar with Vistas load I thought I would tried XP Home SP2. With this I am at least able to partition the drives and choose quick format but once it gets to 20% this too freezes.
So far I have gone into BIOS and chosen to load both safe defaults and optimized defaults, which makes no difference. I have also tried removing one or the other of the memory sticks, again no help.
Here is the system particulars.....

Everything is brand new. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regarding Dual Channel Mode:
Am I reading the manual wrong? In the illustration it shows 4 DIMMS, the closest to the CPU being DIMM1, followed by DIMM3 (which are yellow), then DIMM2 and lastly DIMM4 (which are orange), and it states that in order to take advantage of dual channel to place the memory in DIMMS 1 & 2 and/or DIMMS 3 & 4
Sorry. I did not realize MSI relabeled the DIMMs. You are right of course.
[CPU] - DIMM1 - DIMM23 - DIMM32 - DIMM4
[CPU] - SLOT1 - SLOT2 - SLOT3 - SLOT4

Hi.
Are you connecting to the internet via wireless router? If so try connecting through your LAN and try again.
Goodluck.

My account won't load...PLEASE HELP

Please help. I have a brother that hacked into my account and reset my password to nothing. My account is the administrative account but i also have one standard account on my pb. Anyways, now when i go to login to admin, it seems as its logging in but all i really get is one of the blue apple display pictures and the cursor. Nothing else appears, not even my normal display picture.
But when i do log onto the other standard account on my pb, everything appears fine.
My admin account won't load, is there anything i can do? Is there a way i can retrieve my files on my desktop(admin) from the standard account? I've tried resetting my password using the apple installation cd, but to no avail.
PLEASE HELP..it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you wish to retrieve all of the admin data from the Users folder, you will have to log in as the root user and then change the permissions of all the admin data. Then, you can delete the User from Accounts in System Preferences. After you have obtained the data from the Admin (with another user as the owner of all) and have successfully deleted the admin account, you can create a new admin account and then transfer all of the data back.
I am not exactly sure why the account does not load, but creating a new one will solve this issue.

P45 Diamond - Vista 64bit randomly freezes

After having many troubles with the MSI model X48 Platinum and OCZ memory modules (couldn't synchronize), the shop has replaced (with no charge thank God) it with another model P45 Diamond. The problem now is that randomly the system freezes without a specific reason. All the values on the bios are set to default. Also I haven't overclocked or overcharged anything. I have also installed a Tagan PSU TG900-BZ (900W). The system either hangs randomly or when I try to play a 3d game.
Any ideas of what might causing the problem?
Regards,
George
the characteristics of my system are the following :
motherboard : P45 Diamond
BIOS ver. 1.50
VGA : MSI 9800 GTX 512MB
CPU : 9450 quad core
memory RAM :2x2GB Kingston DDR3 1333D3N9
HDD: Western Digital 500 GB
PSU : Tagan PSU TG900-BZ (900W)
OS: Vista Ultimate 64bit

Hi and thanks,
well I have updated 1 month ago the BIOS to 1.5v while now MSI support team suggest to update to 1.65 (from their ftp site which is not accessible from the official site)which I did some hours ago. The Ram modules are Kingston KVR 1333D3N9/2G (2GB PC3-10600 CL9 240-Pin DIMM).I As I said all the values in the BIOS are set to default meaning that the voltage is by default 1.5v (from what I saw from Kingston documentation the voltage can be adjusted to +-0.075v). I tried to raise the voltage within the recommended values but the result was the same, randomly freezes. I have adjusted the vistrual memory, do I have to change it from within Vista? The only thing I haven't tried also is to change the VGA card.

Webpages won't load & seem to be redirected to Yahoo Search keep getting Yahoo 404 message. Works better on IE but some similar problems. I have Windows Vista

Webpages won't load correctly all the time. Sometimes I am entering the web address in the browser 4 or 5 times before it will go to the correct page. It seems to be redirecting to a Yahoo Search that gives a Yahoo 404 in the tab. (I don't know what this means.) My laptop works better on IE, but still has same issues just not as frequently. I have Windows Vista. Also, Yahoo Mail and Facebook is coming up in super large print and no pictures.

I have this very same issue and it is driving me insane.
Trying to go to Youtube or imageshack or even google.com it tends to redirect repletively to a yahoo 404 page!
It was real bad a few weeks ago. I was watching a live stream for a charity event and the page kept refreshing on it's own to a yahoo 404 page! I was ON THE PAGE watching the stream, but that very page kept refreshing to a 404.
I'm also doing job hunts and get this a lot! Try and send in an application? I have to fight with yahoo to let it go through!

4th Gen Touch won't load anything WiFi related, help would be appreciated.

I have a 4th Gen Touch, 64gb.
Got it about three days ago, and have since been connecting to my phone's WiFi.
(I have a HTC Desire HD)
It had been working absolutely fine, no issues, was loading app store, itunes, and safari pages all fine.
Yesterday, it just wouldn't load, as if I had no connection.
Now, it shows that the ipod is connected to my wireless.. it just won't load.
Please help.lol.

If you've already tried the hard reset (holding down the sleep/wake and home buttons until it restarted), power cycling, and resetting network settings, you may want to try restoring your iPod through iTunes back to its original factory settings. You'll want to back everything up to your computer first.
Here is an article that can walk you through the steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
It is important that you do set the iPod up as a new device at the end of the process to prevent copying over any potential problem directly from your back up image. Test it out. If it still won't work talk to the folks at Apple to see if there is anything wrong with the iPod.

Brand new Mac, had to erase drive through disk utility as time machine back up failed. Now disk utility only has the option to install Mountain Lion which my Mac won't allow. Anyone any ideas as my Mac won't load anything up but disc utility!

Brand new Mac, had to erase drive through disk utility as time machine back up failed on initial setup, USB cable popped out Now can only access disk utility as won't load to log in screen. The only has the option in disc utility is to re-install Mountain Lion which my Mac won't allow or loading another time machine back up but after an hour of it processing, that didn't resolve the issue either! The time machine back up is the latest back up of my Mac Book Pro which was using OS X Maverix. I'm guessing I'm going to have to take my Mac to the store but that would be a hassle so does anyone have any ideas?

Follow this guide using another Mac.
Insert your newly created Mavericks USB into you Mac, press the power button and then hold down 'option,' until it gives you an option to boot from the USB. You will then be able to erase the internal disk with Disk Utility and reinstall Mavericks straight after.
After that you should be able to use Migration Assistant to restore your applications and user data.

Firefox slow to start and websites won't load?

Setup: Windows Vista. Firefox 4.0.1. McAfee Total Protection 2011. Wireless home network.
As of yesterday everything worked well. Tonight I am having problems 1) connecting to the internet - I have to reconnect to my router before it accesses the internet 2) Firefox either doesn't start or is very slow 3) when it does finally slow, all the websites eventually time out and won't load.
Last night I extended my McAfee - didn't have to d/l or install anything and earlier today my computer did some kind of update. The only way I can get any websites to open is to shut off the firewall in McAfee, then things seem to work fine but I don't want to leave it off for obvious reasons. Oh and I did set up a new Windows user profile for my kids but I don't see how that would really affect anything.
Is there some kind of setting I need to change? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

P45 diamond, Vista64, ATI 4870 BSOD (incompatable???)

Well, I took the plunge on the P45 Diamond (MS-7516, PCB v 1.0) with the hopes of making a nice OC'r. Everthing was going fine on install until I loaded the ATI 4870 drivers, after which Vista 64 boots, I logon, then about 10 sec. later, BSOD. This is repeatable. I updated to AMI BIOS 1.4 (with great help from the Forum USB Bios Tool!!). All went well. Reinstalled the latest 8.9 ATI catalyst driver (Vista64) for 4870 and same thing. Vista 64 boots, I logon, then 10s later - BSOD. I can roll back with system restore and all is well. But after I reinstall - same thing. I've updated the Intel drivers, etc. Would be nice if the 'Live Update Online' worked, but I can manage with the manual method. PSU is a 750 PC P&C, so it shouldn't be a power problem. Memory is a 2MB Patriot Viper DDR3 PC3-1600 (2000 MHz). No OC'ing yet, just trying to get the 4870 running. Temps are way cool, CPU ~30C, GPU is cool via touch. I read some other threads about the 4870 problem, but looked like BIOS flash was supposed to cure. The 4870 is a Sapphire, w/ 1GB memory. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Problem RESOLVED! MSI Tech support notified me that ATI put a new driver for the 4870 (8.1) on their web site yesterday. I was a bit skeptical, as I've put several BIOS updates on and several ATI drivers on, and always ended with the same exact problem. But willing to do 'whatever' to get my hard earned cash operational, I installed the new driver and Voila! Problem resolved. Thanks also for your help and assistance Bosskiller.
dude, where did you get your 1.51 bios update? i searched and all i got is 1.50.. did you checked if you also installed your sm bus driver? because that's what screws my video card..

Any P45 Diamond overclockers out there?

Hello all, first post on this forum for me here.
Was wondering if there are any P45 Diamond users/overclockers around that have experience in using GTL values.
Thing is, im overclocking atm stable at 3.8 ghz with a q9450. (8x475)
I have tried many settings regarding the GTL. None really helped. The only settings that helped was upping de VTT to 1.30, and the vcore to 1.36.
Just that i dont like the fact that i have to push the volts that high. Reading around the web showed that GTL can let me use lower voltages.
Also i have tried to reach 4 GHz, wich i could run but with higher voltages only.
Dont worry about my cooling btw, i got a bigwater set from thermaltake, that also cools the NB.
Something else thats prolly kinda interesting to say, the 1.1 BIOS sucks when it comes to my system. I cant get anything stable above 3.2 GHz for some reason. I reverted back to 1.0 and let me go up to 3.8 again.
There is another problem with my DDR3 memory it seems, when it goes above 1450~ MHz respectively, then the system does not post at all. But running it on 1266 gives me no memory issues. (FSB:DRAM 3:4).
I'll make a post about this issue later in another section of the forum.
So to get back to the origin of this post.
Is there anybody out there that can help me with the GTL values?
Needless to say its about a 45nm quad cpu.
I'll list my specs :
MSI P45 Diamond
Q9450 @ 3.8 GHz, 8x 475 FSB, 1.36 vcore (1.34 under load), 1.30 vtt.
OCZ3G16001G 2GB DRR3 1600 @ 1266 MHz (3:4)
XFX GeForce 8800 GTX 768 @ 600 core/950 memory (factory default, its OC but i didnt do it)
Sound Blaster X-Fi (lovely card included with the board )
RAID 0 config thru the use of the ICH10 chip.
Thermaltake Bigwater water cooling in a Thermaltake Armor case.

Problem with BIOS update to P45 Diamond

Ok I have been trying to figure out why I couldn't push the fsb on my CPU much past the stock 266mhz mark. I spoke to a friend and he suggested I try updating the BIOS, sounded like a good idea so I tried it. Went online, saw the Live Update icon and used it. Now I restarted the machine after the update which said that I had the latest version but that it had optimised it somehow. Upon restart I saw the usual boot, memory count and then blank. I've tried reseting the CMOS, loading safe defaults and so on but to no avail. I'm guessing the Live update uploaded something that doesnt agree with my machine. is there anything else I can do besides taking it back to MSI for repairs?
my system is as follows
qx6700
p45 diamond
3 x 1gig xtune ddr3 1600
asus 8800GT
700 watt PSU

Thats the thing, there's no hard drive activity at all else I would have assumed it was to do with the vga or monitor. It's got to be the bios right? but I don't know how to update the bios if I cant even get to a dos promt

P45 Diamond Constantly Freezes Or Restarts

I've build up my system this weekend and everything is powering up nicely with no beeps, CPU running at a good temp, drives are detected in BIOS. However my system at some points contantly freezes or restarts. I use Vista x64. I experience similar results with clean version of XP in x86 & x64 versions. I've tested the GPU, PSU, & HDD and everything works fine but I'm still worried it may be a hardware problem of sorts. I've updated BIOS, clear CMOS a few times, but system still freezes.
1.Vista & XP freeze randomly in 1-5 minutes, sometimes restarts, or simply shuts down & I can't power it up again until I reset motherboard
