P6n diamond, no post, no leds on the d-bracket

Tried setting up my new P6N diamond today with a Q6600, and 8GB of Patriot memory. No post, not LEDs in the d-bracket and no beep codes.
Pulled out some RAM, tried it at 4GB, and at 2GB, no luck.
Tried a E6300 and a Pentium D, and also some Muskin value-ram, same results.
I don't think the system is overheating, it will run without posting for as long as I let it.
I tried to 2 different PCI-E cards (X1900xtx, and 6600GT) as well as an MX4000 PCI card. All components (except the PSU and motherboard) are known to work in other configs.
I'd like to think there's something I'm missing, I've got both power connectors set up, the PSU is a Thermaltake 750W, brand new. I really don't want to have to RMA this thing.
I also tried clearing the CMOS with the SW3 button as well as pulling the battery.
update: tonight, I was able to see the 4 leds come on, they are very, very faint, so I couldn't see them in the daylight, they seem to flicker a little. I've reseated the CPUs several times and still get no post, beep, etc, even removing the RAM gives no beep
Pulling the RAM and CPU out and powering on results in the same results from the d-bracket, 4 very faint green leds

My q6600 isn't a G0.
I tried both 1GB and 2GB DIMMS, same results.
Also, I don't get any LEDs on the board
I also just tested the power supply with a different MB, and it works fine.

P6N Diamond - No Post, Incomplete D-Bracket info

Hi, my computer just stopped working recently, I haven't changed anything in months. The power comes on, fans start, but no video. The D-Bracket LEDs are the following:
First
1. Red
2. Red
3. Red
4. dark
Then after one second:
1. Green
2. Red
3. Red
4. dark
Then no change after that. Could some tell me that means? Is the motherboard dead entirely?
My system is:
MSI P6N Diamond, Intel Core2 Duo E6750, Win7 Home Premium 64 bit
GSkill 4x2GB F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ
OCZ 600MXSP 600W +12V ~25A, +5V ~25A, +3.3V ~25A
WD Caviar Green WD7500AADS 32 MB cache SATA 3.0
Sony DVD-RW Optical Drive
I can't tell you the BIOS, since the PC isn't working, but it was updated around a year ago.
Thanks so much for the help
Paul

Unplug the PSU from A/C power and >>Clear CMOS<<. If that does not change anything, test the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration (CPU, video card, one stick of RAM, power connectors, keyboard, nothing else).

P6N Diamond BIOS update went very wrong.

Just updated my P6N Diamond to BIOS 1.3. The procedure went through without a any errors from a floppy disk.
On reboot there is no post at all. no beeps, no video signal. Everything powers on and the fans come on but no post at all even the 4 lights on the D-Bracket are off.
Is it completely unrecoverable?

I have tried several times with the clearing of the cmos but I will try with different RAM.
Also in the recovery procedure I assume I will need a PS2 keyboard as the USB keyboard I have doesn't work holding down ctrl-home?
"This was the bios i got

seems to be correct one.
"Also in the recovery procedure I assume I will need a PS2 keyboard as the USB keyboard I have doesn't work holding down ctrl-home?"
yes, use PS2 keyboard.
"I have tried several times with the clearing of the cmos but I will try with different RAM."
Power cord removed from the PSU? Just one mem. stick in 1st DIMM near to CPU socket too?
If no change try with different stick.

P6n Diamond & GeForce 8800 GTS, No Signal from Video Card

*I've updated windows with all their high priority updates, installed the drivers on the cd from MSI
My problem: When I enable my video card and restart, I can hear the computer starting windows and I see the first load screen but then my monitor says - no signal, turns black and goes into powersaver mode. The very limited manual from EVGA says: "Quite often this problem is caused by the integrated video card adapter not being disabled prior to installing the new PCI based viedo card"
My question is this: Does the P6N have an intergrated video card that I should be turning off to get my video card to show? I ran a DxDiag and did not see one. Also, I did only saw one video adapter listed in the device manager.

Sli-bridge incl with P6N Diamond??

Ive just orderd a new mobo, P6N Diamond. And was wondering if the SLI-bridge is incl in the box? I cant find anything about that. Mayby a stupid question here for all tech-heads.....sry for that

Quote from: flobelix on 16-October-07, 21:10:52
You don't need to. As it is a board with a sli chipset MSI has to add a bridge. The reminder doesn't pertain to the bridge. Any retail MSI board with sli chipset comes with a bridge, no matter the area where it is sold.
Because nVidia don't ship SLI bridges with their cards.

System won't post-four red lights on D-Bracket

My system sometimes posts and sometime no; the D-Bracket shows four red lights, but if I press the start button on the case for 5 seconds, the system restart and all works fine !!!
What's the problem ?

Alipio:
Since this is a second thread of same problem, please select "pencil button" at bottom and delete it.

P6N Diamond won't post (RGRR)

Can anyone please link me to the MSI approved memory module vendor list (MSI AVL) - I've searched high and wide for this official list of compatible modules with no luck whatsoever. It's referenced everywhere but not linked!
I'm pretty sure that my memory choice is causing the following issue:
System Specs:
MSI P6N Diamond
2 x Nanya PC2-6400U-555-12-E1.1GB.2Rx8 800 Memory Modules
Intel E6700 Core2Duo (2.66ghz)
Seasonic S12 600W PSU (using the 8-pin JPW1 power connection)
ZALMAN CNPS9500 Heatsink
ATI X1300 Pro PCI-E Video
System Problems:
The system will not post correctly.
Power Button Press
Fans Spin for 3 seconds, LEDS stay blank
RRRR
RGRR
Powers Down
When I reboot directly afterwards:
System starts with LED showing RGRR for 3 seconds
RRRR
RGRR
Powers Down
I presume this must be a memory compatibility option, so I'd like to know what modules are best recommended for this board.
I couldn't even really find a confirmed approved voltage rating. Does this board prefer 1.8V, 1.9V?
I just pulled these sticks from a Dell GX745, hoping that they would work. I also attempted Hyjinx branded sticks of the same spec and with the same result.The main board is being used in a file server, so price takes precedence over speed.
Thanks for your time!

TODAYS RESULTS
Before anything, I tried booting it again using the Seasonic PSU 600W. It did something NEW!!
Power Button Press
Fans Spin for 3 seconds, LEDS stay blank
RRRR(System Power On)
RGRR(Memory Detection Test)
GGRR (Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting)
Powers Down
When I reboot directly afterwards:
System starts with LED showing RGRR for 3 seconds
RRRR(System Power On)
RGRR (Memory Detection Test)
GGRR (Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting)
Powers Down
So this was something unexpected!
============================================================
Next, I hooked up my PC Power&Cooling 750W Silencer
(Full Specs)
SAME results as above!!! The system shuts itself off after GGRR.
============================================================
I took the motherboard out of the case.
Try #1: Seasonic PSU, Same result as original problem (RGRR)
Try #2: Seasonic PSU, Same again
Try #3: PC Power&Cool, Same Again
Just for arguments sake, i switch the power switch i'm using.
Try #4: POSTS!!?! Asks for boot device.
Try #5: RGRR
Try #6: RGRR
Try #7: POSTS! "Warning!!! The previous performance of overclocking is failed and the system is restored to default setting."
hmm... considering I've never had this system even post, not sure why it thinks I overclocked it!
I THINK i've figured it out. I don't understand it but it appears that when i was using the rear power switch (wired green&white) included with the Cooler Master CMStacker - it has this RGRR boot problem. When i use the front switch (wired black&white) - it correctly boots. Anyone understand this?! The switch is labeled "INT SW".
This inconsistency has me a tad worried. In the meantime, i am going to put the mobo back into the case and test it various times using the other switch. It will blow my mind if all of this time, it ends up being the switch!

P6N Diamond ran perfect but now wont post / no display

Like those here I built many a computer in my day using all the right tools and precautions. But this one really has made me mad. I don't have much money, so believe me when I say I saved my pennies...cause I sure did for this rig although nothing special. Enough of the sob story on with the program. I had it running fine...all temps voltages were up to spec and fine. No over clocking what so ever not even the ram. When I would shut the computer down and left it off for more then a few hours it would not post. The D-Bracket leds showed that it was freezing on the ever so wonderful:
"Initializing Video Interface
This will start detecting the CPU clock, checking type of video onboard. Then detect and initialize the video adapter"
So cussing like a sailor I ran through the onslaught of checking every component on and off different settings ect.
I tried:
- Reseting the CMOS
- Removing all peripherials
- Setting the board up outside the case
- Switching graphics cards with known graphics cards
- Swapping the memory
- Starting it with a pin (instead of the case switch)
- Reseating the processor
you name it and I tried it...I read through as many posts as I could....tried the tricks and yet nothing. I'm ready to RMA it...cause I'm past the Newegg 30 days by 9 days.
My system Specs:
-MSI P6N Diamond
-Core 2 Quad Q6600 SLACR (stock speeds)
-2 gig Patriot DDR2 800MHz kit (2 X 1GB) PDC22G6400LLK 2.2v (Stock latency)
-Antec p182 case
-2 SATA Drives (1 maxtor 160 and 1 Seagate 160)
-1 SATA DVD Burner Liteon
-Ultra 500 Watt ATX Power Supply ( SLI Ready) (if you need voltages I'll post)
Thank you for any and all help.

This could be the cause of your problem. Your PSU has two seperate +12V rails that cannot accumulate their power output.
If your video card does not have its own power connector, it may be trapped on one of the two rails together with your quad core and other system devices.
I believe this is a very possible explanation at the moment.
If you are going to try a different PSU, it will be best if you try one that has just one strong +12V rail. Around 30A should be fine. If your system won't boot up a proper PSU, the problem is somewhere else.

No video, no beeps, no post, OC LEDs on but I never pushed the button.

Hi all, hoping I can get some input here. This is a system that was running fine earlier today. It has infrequently been randomly resetting with no warning (Windows 7 logs a Kernal-Power event with no bugcode), and once even hard-locked to the point that even holding the power button for 4 seconds did not reset the computer--but it came back after I manually switched the PSU toggle off and back on and powered it on again.
It looked like it was going to be the same thing this time, but after toggling the switch and pressing the power button, I get all fans and MB lights (including the OC dial red LED and the blue LED next to it that are usually NOT on), but no beeps and no video (monitor remains in orange light standby state), and so far as I can tell does not post. Any idea what this could mean, or how I can test it? This system build is new, but the PSU is old so I'm thinking that will be my first avenue of attack. Can't visit Fry's until morning, though...
Edit: apparently on some (all?) models there are 4 LEDs near the CPU that are supposed to give me additional info, and I think I see where they're supposed to be, but it looks like only 1 is on and none of the codes listed in the FAQ have only 1 light lit :-/

It won't Post, so I can't run Memtest. As of a couple days ago, it was running 8+ hours error free, though I know components can fail instantaneously. Also on this most recent occasion I did turn restart on reset off, but was away from my computer when it happened and when I returned the monitor was in orange standby mode and would not exit it, also Mouse and Keyboard (both USB) had no lights on despite being set to never power down via selective suspend. Therefore no (visible) blue screen and my having to hard reset via the toggle like I described in the first post.
Tried clearing CMOS, behaves the same.

P6N Diamond, SLI question: where does the 2nd card go?

As per title, I have a P6N Diamond motherboard with 4 video card slots (four PCI-e x16), two yellow + two white. I have a single GPU/card in the first slot as usual, but I got a 2nd GPU/card today. Where does it go so I could get 16x16 SLI? Manual is unclear.
2nd white slot (third PCI-e x16) or the yellow (second PCI-e x16) ?
I ask because this motherboard has non-standard color coding. Even the RAM slots are not color coded (channel-wise). Instead of A-B-A-B color arrangement on the RAM slots as every other motherboard out there, this motherboard has A-A-B-B arrangement.

Update: First of all, the case connectors on the motherboard are in the way for SLI purposes. They are too tall and block the insertion of the second card. On my old ASUS moterboard the case pins were on the bottom of the PCB, out of the way, but on this MSI motherboard they are on the side, lined up with the PCI-e x16 slot. Really dumb design! It might be fine for short video cards like 9600GT or similar, but for extended length dual slot video cards like GTX260 (which what I'm using) they are in the way, so much that the second card can't be inserted into the slot at all.
I spent two hours modding the connectors. I had to snap and break the plastic plugs, remove the metal pins and mod them so they are only 3mm tall, instead of 9mm. I know this motherboard is old so MSI couldn't plan for GTX260/280 and other long cards, but cards like 7950GX2 and similar did exist and predate this motherboard so there is no excuse for MSI for placing the connectors in that position.
Anyways, warning for any P6N Diamond owners: if you have extended length or longer dual slot video cards like GTX 260, GTX 280, and 4870x2 you will have problems with clearance and would need to do some severe modding or get a different motherboard.

MSI P6N Diamond - Flashing the BIOS

hi all,
I am using a MSI P6N Diamond motherboard. I have gone several years without a problem.
However, recently, I decided to upgrade from 4GB of RAM to 8GB of RAM. I confirmed with Crucial that the memory I was purchasing was guaranteed to be compatible with the existing RAM.
To that end, I flashed the BIOS to the latest version using the MSI Utility program and followed the instructions. The operation was a success.
However, after doing this I noticed that occasionally I will get a "blue screen" when Windows is about to boot. At first I thought it might be a faulty RAM module, so I removed all memory sticks except one which I have been using for years. I know that RAM module is not faulty but I ran memtest86+ to be sure and it did not report any problems. But the blue screen problem still occurs.
The blue screen doesn't occur every time, but it is rather easy to reproduce. I will likely see it at least once on every 4-5 reboots. I can't read anything because it flies by too fast.
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing when updating the BIOS on a P6N motherboard? How can I get additional information on the blue screen?

Can you provide a screenshot of your CPU-Z memory and SPD tabs.
Note: I currently have all 8GB of RAM installed.

At this stage I would recommend you flash back to the BIOS that you were running previously with success.
I would like to save this as a last resort if possible. I know that this is a risky procedure. Do I need v1.3 in order to support 8GB of RAM?
Quote from: Bernhard on 23-September-11, 11:11:46
What are the error codes of your BSODs. Bottom tight of your task bar is a little flag, left click on it and open the Action Centre. At the top of the dialog you will see Security and Maintenance. Expand the Maintenance option. Select an option called "View reliability history". Now you can click on all the red crossed items in the date/timeline and then then View the technical detail, which should include the BSOD codes wherever there are any.
I'm not sure if Vista Home Premium is different, but I don't see a flag in bottom right of the task bar. However, if I right click My Computer->Manage there is a Reliability and Performance->Reliability Monitor. I believe this is equivalent to what you are referring to, as it shows the red crossed items and shows application/hardware failures, etc. Here is a screenshot of that:
http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/2452/reliability.jpg
The problem is that it doesn't show any of the red crossed items for this issue. I have seen at least 4 or 5 of them on 9/22 but nothing is listed on that date. When this blue screen occurs, it seems to occur as soon as the "Microsoft Windows" screen appears while booting. It will show the black Microsoft Windows loading screen and the loading bar and blue screen almost immediately. Is it possible that the problem occurs too soon for it to appear here?
EDIT: I should also note that I have reformatted and reinstalled Windows but the problem persists.
Another odd issue just occurred to me but I'm not sure if it's related. After reinstalling Windows, I would get a "New Hardware found" popup box for the onboard Creative sound. I installed the Creative sound driver, but I would still get the "New Hardware found" box for the onboard Creative sound after rebooting. It looks like that problem has gone away, though.

P6N Diamond New Problem: Second HDD Randomly Starts/Stops Since recent Update

Howdy All,
Continuing problems with the P5N Diamond.
This one's new.
Previously I had the same problem as many others with the cold boot issue. Somehow, someway, it just stopped: cold boot or not, one day it just started booting fine....go figure.
However, I recently (about 3 weeks ago) did the MSI live update that included something or other pertaining to the E-SATA....support for it or something to that end. Although I don't use the E-SATA, I installed it thinking I might at some point and since installing it, I have discovered a new problem: my second drives (in RAID 0) just opens/closes randomly. It seems to mostly occur when operating demanding programs: gaming, watching a video, that sort of thing.
Everytime it does this, it takes me to desktop and asks me what program I want to use to open the program......which when I do, is nothing more than my second (D drive) HDDs in RAID 0. I then get the yellow pop up message in the bottom toolbar from Windows saying it's experienced a write failure problem. It hasn't done any damage that I can tell and I've lost nothing, but being taken to desktop perpetually is a major issue. This problem is driving me absolutely up the wall. No sooner than I start to do something and wham.....I'm at desktop being asked what program I want to use to open up the second HDDs. I've also tried just leaving it open but to no avail: it just randomly continues to open and close.
I have my O/S on the C drive and 2 more HDDs in RAID O for back up on ports 6 & 7. Since doing the MSI update that included the E-SATA whatever, this new problem almost prevents the computer from being usable: certainly nothing in gaming is possible along with anything that requires uninterruption.
Here's my system:
M/B: P6N Diamond
CPU: E6850
RAM: Corsair XMS PC-8500, 2 x 1 gig
HDD: 1- WD 150 Raptor
HDD: 2- WD 5000AAKS in Raid 0
Vid Card: EVGA 8800GTX
PSU: PC Power & Cooling 750 Silencer
ODD: Sony DRU 830A
FDD: Sony Floppy
Misc: Scythe fans x 5
O/S: XP Pro w/ SP2
Running BIOS 1.2
So, being fairly certain the MSI update created the problem, my question is, how do I undo the MSI's most recent update to remove it? When I go into Add/Remove Programs, nothing is listed there. I'm not sure this is the source of the problem but I do know I didn't have it beforehand.
I'd greatly appreciate any help with this....even any ideas. While I have some computer knowledge, I'm not as tech savvy as most here, but this problem is, apart from driving me up a wall, making the computer almost unusable. FYI, I haven't done a System Restore because I've installed several things since and don't want to lose them if I can isolate the problem, but I will if that's what you all recommend.
Again, sorry for what may be a noobish question, but I'm not sure where else to go. After dealing with MSI's tech support, I'd rather talk to a wall.
Thanks greatly.

Mark,
Forgive me for asking, but I am a bit confused. Is your "cold boot issue" now solved? If so, do you think that the new drives are the key?

Sorry for late post.
After setting up the HW RAID (2500YS) for booting the system still cold boots. strangely this time the reset (Ctrl+Alt+Del) doesn't seem to work. I must of did it two dozen times and it would never clear. I then just powered off after the other 2 drives on the nvidia SATA cleared and seen the HD LED light up and stay on for a few seconds(seems stuck on the 4723 checks of the drive) and then powered down and powered right back up with no cold boot issue. It has worked this way every time for the last week or so and I tested it like 20 or so times(3-4 times a day). These drives are listed as being compatible after the firmware update (and I did that already) so I guess it is either the MB BIOS needs updating or it's the way the nvidia chipset runs this setup is wacky. This is assuming the 4723 HD compatibility list is correct.
here's a summary of the drives so far.
36GB Raptors (old revision) - can take forever to boot properly and corrupted my disk in 3 days of testing (scrambled my directory structure)
105GB Raptors - Just reset(Ctrl+Alt+Del) 1-4 times after the HD LED goes solid for a few seconds. worked for two months no errors.
250GB Caviar RE(2500YS) - have to power off (power button) when HD LED goes solid. so far no problems for a week.
80 GB SATA II Hitachi Deskstar (HDS728080PLA380 - May 2005) - same as 150 GB Raptors, just a reset or four, only did a days worth of testing with no errors.
well, I was hoping for those 2500YS to work properly. Now it makes it really hard to track the problems with so many different errors and 3 different places it can go wrong 4723/nvidia/msi/HD Manufacturer. wait, that's 4. Oh boy!
Hopefully this gets resolved soon. I've already had to move this MB to my secondary system, and for other reasons than this. I didn't mind hitting the reset button to get this to run. I get the feeling that MSI has abandoned this board on us. with the new P7N being released it will be even harder to get anyone to mess with this thing.

P6N Diamond issue

Hello,
Well this is my config :
P6N Diamond Bios 1.3
Intel E6750
Kingston Memory RAM 3 Gos 800 mghz
8800 GTS 640 Mb
Windows Pro SP2
This is my problem :
Sometimes when I boot my MB freezes after the post and other time when im in windows after 3 or 4 minutes. I reboot and no problem after that.
The problems occurs after 1 beep and 6 or 7 beeps.
Perhaps you can help me
NB: there were also problems with the precedent BIOS 1.1 and one of my friend changes, i think, the memory latency but i don't remember where ... 1 freeze each 3 months after that.
NB2: my access disk led blink each second ... normal ?
THANKS !!

Thanks a lot for your answer Jack
As im at work i cannot answer to all but here is some answers

what kind of power supply are you using?
It's an Enermax 600 W but no more info (have to go back home )

To what values did he change the latency settings? Click on the CPU-Z tab labeled "Memory" and tell us the current timings
Don't remember i will ask him. For CPU-Z you will see above the current timing (in quote)

Does this happen in Windows only, or does the LED blink when you are, let's say, in BIOS as well?
No only when im in Windows.
For the beeps i will try tonite to hear the number of the beeps ...

QX6850 on P6N Diamond Requires Update

Hey Guys,
I had a problem earlier today when building my system and I wanted to post it here so it can help anyone else.
Even though the motherboard advertises that it supports 1333mhz processors, just with the new version of BIOS supports it. Plus, the new G0 stepping id was added to the BIOS version.
I got my QX6850 in the mail today and couldn't wait to install it. Unfortunately, I had a problem from the start. Here are my symptoms:
Turning on the computer would start all fans, but nothing more. Neither did the 4 communication LED lights on the USB hub work.
After hitting the CMOS reset button a few times and restarting the computer, finally i got some action. It loaded to the CPU Initialization screen. It recognized the processor but gave me a "CMOS CHECKSUM BAD" error. I tried to press F1 to enter setup, but there was no response.
That's as far as I ever got, so I called up tech support. They think the bios update should fix this. Unfortunately, I don't have another 775 processor to update, so I have to send it in. Probably will take 5-7 days before I get it back, because I live close and its merely an update.
Will let you guys know if this new BIOS will fix this problem.
Thanks,
Set-up for Error debugging:

That CPU (QX6850) still is not officially supported and is "under testing" as of BIOS 1.1
BIOS 1.2 may support it, but the supported CPUs for that BIOS is not yet posted.

P6N Diamond problems and questions

OK first here is the set up
P6N Diamond
Q6600
4GB OCZ DDR2 800
Raptor X 150GB C drive
Raptor 74GB D drive
250GB WD SATA
GF 8800GTS 640MB
Coolermax 850W PS 412 volt rails 28a on two of the rails
Windows Vista ultimate 64
I loaded windows on the bare Raptor and it installed Reboot after install and loaded drivers from CD for chipset. Reboot and installed other drives. Now the fun begins...
I was able to install the Video driver downloaded from nVidia's website. But the system hangs constantly It doesn't matter what your doing driver install, windows update or just looking into drives. It starts the operation then it sits with just the fan running for about 5 or more min. then it starts working again. I haven't found any posts here with a similar problem so it must be something I did. My local store did advise a windows reinstall.
Second problem the RAM is seen by the board as 677 not 800. The manual is very unclear on how to change that. I did pick up some Corsair XMS RAM to use instead of the OCZ to make sure it's not a RAM problem. I also tried 1 stick of RAM as well.
Is there a BIOS setting guide for this board anywhere? Also do I need to update BIOS?
Thanks for any help in advance.

Snowfalcon,
You can go to MSI's website, look in "downloads" and download a complete owners manual in PDF format for the P6N Diamond. It contains a bios guide. As far as the memory..you will probably have to increase the memory voltage in order for the bios to run it at the rated frequency, on my OCZ Platinum 6400s I run it at 2.1 volts to get the 800mhz rating. You may not be able to run all 4 gigs, I recommend using no more than 2 sticks in slots 1 & 3 until you get the OS loaded and running stable. Oh, and dont "enable" the onboard audio until after all other drivers are loaded up. Then you can load the Creative X-Fi drivers and software. These suggestions work for WinXP..there are other threads in this forum concerning/specific to Vista installs. Good luck.
Paul
