P7N Diamond 9800GX2 Quad SLI additional GPU problem, pls help!

Hi all,
So I have an interesting dilemma:
I'm running my system with dual watercooled 9800gx2's in Quad SLI (both in blue pciex16 2.0 slots).
The issue is that I cannot install an additional GPU in the white or yellow slots for my touchscreen monitor/additional output.
What happens exactly is that the screen doesn't turn on (in any dvi or hdmi output)/pc doesn't boot up (the output led on the primary gx2 doesn't turn blue as it should).
I'm running the latest nonbeta release bios. I unplug, clear all power, reset cmos, reset all cards, check plugs, etc. when installing the third card.
I've tried both a 8800gt, and a radeon 2400xt I had laying around. I've tried with the gx2's in quad sli, not in quad sli, and not in sli at all (meaning one gx2 became two cards) with the same effect. The 8800gt will only work when one gx2 is installed.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

If you are trying to get 2 x GX2 + 1 x 8800GT or R2400XT, I'm not sure if it is actually capable in terms of SLI.
Don't quote me if I'm wrong, however, in my point of view, GX2 = SLi with 2 Cores back to back, so having 2 GX2s will means Quad SLi already, which is already the maximum of SLi capability. As such, I do not think that you can add 1 more card to run in parallel to the GX2s since SLI is already being maxed out.
I think you should consult nVidia on this as well.

  • New Need Sink needed for MSI P7N Diamond nForce 780i SLi (Socket 775)

    Hi Guys,
    I've been having a problem with my machine where it will be working away as and then suddenly restart. I haven't been able to pin point the problem as it can happen regardless of applications or load thats on the machine. I've also run a couple of app's to check the RAM and its fine. The only thing I've been noticing is that the 4 cores of my Q6600 seem to be running a bit hot. On average on Idle there running between 45-55oc. Does this seem normal? I'm thinking that the cpu might be over heating when I'm running apps. I've seen one of the cores up around 68oc when under a bit of load. I'm using the stock heat sink at the moment and would like to cool things down it see if that helps. Can anyone recommend something suitable for my motherbroad.
    Thanks

    Thermaltake ToughPower 750W Modular Power Supply
    My Q6600 (also G0/SLACR but don't know what you mean by "Pro") is OC'd to 3.4GHz and has had no problems running stable.  Highest temps during OCCT/Linpack and LinX/Linpack peak at 80C 1st/2nd cores - 76 C 3rd/4th cores.  Other tests (e.g. Prime95 small FFTs) run much cooler.  I've run 2hr+ linpack tests with no errors, so I don't think you need to worry about your temps yet.
    However, may I suggest that you check into is your power supply, in particular the modular connections.  I had the ToughPower 750W Modular before upgrading to PCP&C.  I noticed that the ToughPower's modular connections had a tendency to be just a tad loose.  They wouldn't dislodge but they had a little bit of play.  I could jiggle them ever so slightly while they were connected.  As a result, the CPU power cable (8-pin/4-pin) would cause a restart upon the slightest disturbance or sensation.  I've since discovered that modular connectors also affect the efficiency, power noise levels, and overall performance of a PSU.  All in all, I plan to avoid modular connectors entirely going forward.  Many newer cases have excellent cable management features and even old-style cases can be cleaned up with a little planning and effort.  So the modular cabling advantages don't offset the severe disadvantages.  Even if your problem isn't due to the PSU, it's something I'd recommend considering replacing.
    Good luck.  Hope all the suggestions are able to help you nail down and resolve your issue.

  • Urgent: Sessions problem pls help me

    Hi all,
    Its already late to post this problem.pls help me urgently.
    I have a servlet & two jsp's. first i request servlet, it processes something and forwards request to my first jsp. In that jsp on a button click, i'm displaying a new popup by calling showModalDialog. this dialog gets data from the same servlet but it forwards to my second jsp.(second jsp can be seen in dialog)
    Now if i submit form from my second(dialog) jsp, the servlet reports that session has expired. I tried a lot but invain. any one who helps me is appreciated well by all of our forum.
    waiting 4 u r reply,

    It could be that you have cookies turned off and you're not using URL Rewriting.
    In J2EE, the first time your browser makes a request to the server, the server responds and appends a SESSION_ID parameter to the request as well as storing a cookie with the SESSION_ID.
    The second time your browser makes a request, the server checks for the cookie. If it doesn't exist it checks for the parameter. If neither exist the server assumes its the first time your browser has made a request and behaves as describe in the previous paragraph.
    In your case when you submit the form if you have disabled cookies and the action attribute doesn't have the SESSION_ID paramter appended to the url, the browser will assume it's a first request. The user will not be logged in, hence your session has expired error.
    To fix this you need to encode the URL in your JSP. You can use the struts html:rewrite tag or the HttpServletReponse.encodeURL method, or if you're using JSP 2.0 the JSTL c:url tag.

    How to solve this problem, pls help when, I try to see remote camera system(spec dvr) from home. The Error I get is "Dual streaming is required for HTML viewing"

    I had the same probelm and found that the problem lies with 64bit programs such as safari and microsoft internet explorer. I have resolved the issue on my PC based server by using a 32 bit ie and same on my mac by using the same running windows under parallels.
    So far the problem with the 64 bit side of it is still to be resolved.
    Hope this helps and gets you guys up and running until suchtime a 64 bit solution is found.

  • P7N Diamond & 9600 GT SLI

    Hi,
    Small question.. Does the P7N Diamond support two 9600 GT (asus) in SLI mode? 
    Probably does, but could I get a confirmation on this, because in the manual of the P7N, dual cards in SLI are connected with 2 SLI bridges..and the 9600 GT only has room for one bridge....
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the quick reply!

  • P7N Diamond (Ms-7510) - Possible chipset heat problem

    Hi,
    Have a P7N Diamond (Ms-7510) with possible chipset heat problem.
    After looking around I have seen the platic plugs that keep the chipset heatpike in-place are broken.
    Would like to replace them but dont know what size and type to get.
    Does anyone know?
    Or perhaps there is some other issue with it?
    Have seen a few people who clams there is alot of issues with this m/b...
    I am a bit stubborn and want to get some life in to this thing! ;-)
    FYI I have posted a few others post about this m/b before here...
    Thx
    //Christoffer

     Try checking at hobby shop or hardware store and get some nylon screws of size needed instead. Just measure the hole size or take one of the broken pins with you so you can get the right size. Length shouldn't be much of a problem because if you have get something longer than needed they are relatively easy to cut.
     P7N was one of the not so good MBs back then. P45 Platinum was one of the very best though and if you could get your hands on one of them for a good price you would be very happy with it. I know several people with new rigs but their mainstay backups are P45 Plats.

  • Import problem,pls help!

    Hi,there,
    I'm new guy here,I'v got a problem about Import in table mode,I found I can import back all records successfully, but it just appends all records into the orignal table,not overwrite
    it,for example, I made a export for a table with 2 records, after then I added some records into that table,
    finally I made an import for that table, I found the
    total of records is not recovered to 2,but just append
    the records from export file,why can't I recover it to 2
    record? pls help me,thanks!

    All that import does is to run a bunch of SQL statements based on the content of the export file. If you look at the export file in an editor (if its small), or through type (on Windoze) or more on *NIX you will see stuff like:
    CREATE TABLE x STORAGE ( ...)
    INSERT INTO x col12,col2, ...
    VALUES (:b1,:b2, ...
    If you give imp the paramter ignore=Y, then the error generated by the CREATE TABLE (table already exists) will be suppressed, but the ata will be inserted. Note that there are no DROP TABLE or TRUNCATE TABLE commands in the export file.
    If you want to restore your database to a particular point in time using import, then you will need to manually drop or truncate the tables first. You can generate the required sql from the data dictionary. something like
    SET lines 1000 pages 0 feedback off trimspool on;
    SPOOL drop.sql;
    SELECT 'DROP TABLE '||table_name||';'
    FROM user_tables;
    SPOOL OFF;
    @drop.sqlHTH

    Hi guys I have a big problem that I can't figure out. See I have a PT880 Neo and on the mobo box it says it's VIA. But when I go to install the Hyperion 4 in 1 mobo drivers my system crashes. When I boot up I get a Bsod stating my graphics card is in an infinite loop and says the video driver for my card is the problem. Also when I go to install new hardware it doesn't detect it. I checked the bios and pnp is enabled. So I put a new network card in and it will only detect it in the top pci slot so is this some kind of glitch am I downloaded the right drivers? The hyperion 4 in 1's version 455vp1 pls help

    Hi 
         Sorry khar khar ????   Mainly any sounds from under the keyboard would be Fan or HDD either way could mean either the Fan ( if fan ) is struggling to move due to dust build up OR the hard drive is failing  ,,, It's difficult to give you a firm answer without more information . Can you tell the difference between the fan noise and a hard drive noise ?? When you start up from cold does the noise start immedietly or is it only heard after say 5-10 minutes ??????           Checkurtech

  • Installation problem, pls help

    I am trying to install Oracle 10g on SUSE 10.0.0 but when i run the ./runInstaller command, I receive an[b] error of writting to directory /tmp/OraInstall2006-03........, Please ensure this directory is writable and at least 60MB of disk space, i have checked for space using df -h /tmp, there is enough space, i think the problem has got to do with permission because @ the moment it belongs to root user, i don't know what to do, i am a novice to unix and need to install oracle today. Pls help
    Usually the standard install of SuSE Linux should set the ownership and access rights to /tmp, if you want to give access to everyone on the system, just use this command (if owner/root access is available):
    I have used chmod o+rwx /tmp command and still having the same error. Pls somebody help
    chmod o+rwx /tmp

    Of course I assume you did correctly follow installation and configuration instructions. Did you read Oracle10g/Linux Errors and Problems from Werner Puschitz ?

  • Audio+Video Chat works but one small problem.Pls help.

    HI..
    as i had posted once before in a different query's thread, i have implemented audio and video chat using AVTRansmit2 and avreceive2.
    audio and video chat work well.By video chat i mean not only video but VIDEO+AUDIO as well.. just like usual yahoo video chat.
    But the problem is like this:-=
    I have given an option for user to switch from audio chat to video chat.
    now if a user first goes to audio chat and then switched to video chat,
    then the problem comes. When he's shifted to video chat i close down previous Audio chat by RTPManager.dispose() , i close the player and everything..
    and then i start Video transmit/receive "ALONG WITH" audio transmit/receive..
    No this time video starts but audio doesnt work ..
    it says"waiting for rtp data to arrive.... "
    The problem is that when this new stream of audio data comes, the receiver somehow thinks that its the same old stream since its from same transmitter IP.. and so it tries to UPDATE the previous stream.
    It means there is some problem with the close method or RTPManager.dispose() which should have disposed off all the stuff much before the new connection was made.
    PLS HELP ASAP>
    this is crunch time for my project.

    Hi anandreyvk . .
    well, i had tried doing removetargets and also, i had disposed RTPManager well. As it turns out the problem was not with any of it but it was the problem of me incorrectly passing RTPManager from AVReceive2 to AVTransmit2.
    Actually i am using just one RTPManager.. since i am receiving and transmitting on the same port.
    i've solved the problem but i am not sure if this is the right way .. what do you think ??
    is creating just one RTPManager {by that,i mean initializing it only once} a good idea ?? Since we are supposed to call both AVTransmit2 and AVReceive2 with the "LOCAL PORT" .. {which in itself is a matter of discussion though! } i and my project mate thought initializing RTPManager only once is a better option .
    Whats your take on all of this ?

  • P7N Diamond with GTX260 SLI?

    Is this combination going to work? I saw on couple of forums that some boards that were SLI-ready didn't work with two GeForce GTX260 cards, so I'm trying to find one that does for sure. My new rig will be like this:
    CPU: Inter Core 2 Quad Q9550
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX260 (and will buy another one soon)
    RAM: OCZ 2x2Gb DDR2 1066Mhz Platinum Kit (will add another 4bg later, I think 4 is enough at the moment)
    HDD: WD 1Tb 7200 + WD160Gb for OS's (Vista Premium 64bit and Fedora Linux)
    PSU: Probably ThermalTake Thoughpower 1000W
    OS: Vista Premium 64bit
    and I will put it all in ThermalTake SopranoFX full tower. Now only thing I need is a board, so I was hoping that someone can help me pick one. Thank you in advance

    I don't see why it wouldn't work. Could you give us some samples of the reports saying that GTX 280 SLI doesn't work?
