P7N diamond (Unable to recongise USB G3 Logitech Mouse everytime after restart)

dear all seniors..
I just reformatted twice and reinstall fresh XP SP2, but everytime after i restart, shutdown and rebooted my PC, When i reaches the logon screen for WINXP my Logitech G3 mouse doesnt work, I have to manually plug out and plug it again for it to work.
Anyone else encounter this?
MB: P7N diamond
BIOS: V1.1B4 (reflash by my Vendor but still to no avail)

Hi Stu,,
thanks for the reply.. I plug to the back of the main motherboard USB which is just above the network connection..would it be a BIOs issue as its only a 1.1B4 which is a beta BIOS firmware?

Please post full system specs... read the >>Posting Guide<<
Is your mouse plugged into the mainboard USB port, or to USB ports on an external bracket or front panel connector?
I have a Razor Copperhead mouse, which I keep as a backup for when my rechargeable wireless mouse decides it needs recharging (). It is usually tucked away under my desk, connected to a front panel USB port, but still I need to unplug it and reconnect it before I can use it. Same problem as you, but different mainboard and mouse, but its never bothered me as its not my main mouse...
I'll move this to Intel area, where you can get better answers...

P7N Diamond, unable to access RAID Config during Boot

I've got a P7N Diamond motherboard, with 6 disks attached, one SSD (boot) and I recently installed 5 1.5TB disks as well. These I would like to run in RAID 5 mode. I've enabled RAID for those channels in the BIOS, but I am unable to access the RAID config that's supposed to be available during bootup. The system also has an ADAPTEC RAID 1430SA ROHS SINGLE PCI-E LP 4-PORT controller with two disks attached, could this be messing things up? (I DO get an option to access this RAID config, but it fails claiming too little free memory (!) (It's a system with 4GB installed)) In Windows 7, the 5 disks shows up in the NV Raid as "Free disks", but I'm not able to do anything with them except setting SMART info. In the Windows Disk management they don't show up at all.
So, anyone got any ideas on how to access the raid config (F10) during boot?
All suggestions appreciated
Thanks,
Zem

The error regarding "too little free memory" isn't related to system RAM but to bios ROM address space. As already stated, the Adaptec card is causing the conflict with the NV RAID controller bios. This is actually a very common issue when trying to run multiple disk controllers in a single system and isn't any fault of the mobo. There's only so much addressable space for BIOS to reside in.
You may be able to free up some address space by disabling the LAN Option (boot) ROM in CMOS and setting the JMicron controller to IDE instead of RAID. Even better would be to disable the JMicron controller entirely.
If, after doing so, the Adaptec controller is still not able to work with the NV controller in RAID mode, then I'm afraid you're out of luck.

USB Keboard and Mouse frozen after 10.6 install

After 2 aborted installs (sinning wheel) on a brand new (1 day old) iMac I got Snow Leapard to install. Except the new Apple keyboard and mouse (both USB) were frozen. Tried other USB keyboard and mice and they don't work either. Tried pairing a Bluetooth mouse and it did work. Am I missing a setting somewhere. I want to use the new USB devices rather than buying bluetooth devices.
Help please?
Thank you.

I have a similar problem. After the 10.6 upgrade my keyboard and sometimes my mouse stop responding. Unplugging them and plugging them back fixes the problem (temporarily). I haven't checked any other USB devices (printer) to see if they're affected, but here's the really strange part: I had to downgrade back to 10.5.8 due to some other compatibility issues (via the restore from Time Machine option, so 10.6 was completely wiped from the system), but I still have the problem with the USB mouse and keyboard. The system is a Mac Pro 2.66 dual core Xeon (dual processor), the keyboard is the standard Apple keyboard, and the mouse is a Microsoft Intellimouse. I didn't have any problems with this set up from the time I got it until I tried the 10.6 upgrade.
I've tried all of the obvious solutions (completely powering off the system, disconnecting USB devices, etc) but I still have the problem.

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.

Can't boot from USB on P7N Diamond

I have BIOS Ver. 1.3 installed on my P7N Diamond board. I used the flashing utility from MSI to install it. Now, to install Ver 1.4, I am using the Forum Flasher. My board will not recognize the USB drive in the F11 Boot Menu or in the BIOS boot selection option. It does show up as USB storage after the memory check along with a USB mouse.I made sure that all USB options in the BIOS were set. I let the Forum Flasher fix my drives to make sure that was done right. The last stick I tried was brand new, never used.
I am running RAID 0+1 on SATA 1 thu 4, SATA 5 + 6 are DVD drives, nothing on the 2 eSATA ports.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The only time the USB storage appears is during POST. In the BIOS the 4 hard drives used for the RAID are listed, the 2 DVD drives are listed, but no USB storage. In the F11 boot selection it offers the 1st floppy, NVRAID and the 2 DVD drives. The same are offered the boot sequence section of the BIOS options.

P7N-Diamond fails to even P.O.S.T/unable to enter the BIOS

Hi,everybody out there......Recently purchased a P7n-Diamond mobo hoping to build a gaming rig.Alas..upon connecting all the necessary peripherals and powering up the system....there is no displat...no beep.Tried a barebone test with intel q6600,corsair 1gb ram and a zotac nvidia 8800gt card...yes the psu is coolermaster 1000watts.Upon powering up it is seen that all the fans are spinning smoothly...little leds are all glowing....no beep is heard....no display is seen.....no P.O.S.T..........cannot enter the BIOS hence.
Any angel out there with helping hands please

Tried outside the cabinet also...cleared the cmos...tried to boot only with cpu cooler.an8800gt card ,1gb ram( Corsair ).Same case...No..post ..
Even tried with the same configuration in my spare P5n-e sli mobo there it posted fine.
Beginning to feel that the mobo is defective.
"tried to boot only with cpu cooler"
You need a CPU as well
Can you try with different PSU too?
Also check mainboard CPU socket for bent-ed pins

P7N Diamond USB problems

Hey guys
I have since I installed this motherboard, had problems with connecting USB drives.
When I connect, lets say a USB flash drive, it reconnects every 2-3 seconds.. Is this a motherboard issue, or a OS ??
Hope you guys can help, its getting on my nerves!!!
BTW, I use Vista Ultimate 64bit..

I dont have any other USB keyboard or mouse..
Can't see why they should be the problem, they are the parts that work..
The G15 is not only a keyboard but also an USB Hub, a christmas tree (LEDs) and an LCD Display. If there is one kind of keyboard that causes problems on many system, it is probably the G15. Please try a regular keyboard and see if that changes anything.

t's really like the USB ports don't get enough power, or something.
What kind of PSU are you using and what other components (HDDs, ODDs, CPU, GPU, Fans, LEDs etc.) does it have to supply with power?

Users running the P7N Diamond and QX9650 please weigh in. I need help...

OK, I'll start from the beginning. I had an EVGA 780i mobo, which ran a Q6600 at 3ghz quite easily. Well, I decided that I had money to burn so I ordered a QX9650. It would not work on the EVGA, the cpu voltage and cpu fsb voltage would not adjust no matter what I tried. So, I popped the cpu into my kids rig, which has a DFI X38 mb and the cpu worked perfectly, voltages adjusted, multiplier adjusted, etc. During the RMA process to EVGA, I got an MSI P7N Diamond to run SLI with. Stuck the cpu in it and away I went into Vista 64, all happy. I had to bump the memory voltage up to 1.95 volts, but that was it. I then decided to raise the multi from 9 to 10. I set it, warm booted and tested it in Vista. 100% stable. 2 days later, I attempted to turn my computer on. No post. I had to power off/on very quickly to get it to post, at which point I got an error message that the cpu vid had failed or there was a mismatch with the cpu to fsb ratio, hit F1 to enter setup or F2 to load defaults. I e-mailed MSI and received beta P05 and it was just downhill from there. I couldn't cold boot at all, stock settings, OC settings, voltages adjusted, it didn't matter. So back to the shipping bios. I got a new beta this morning, dated 2/18, and it was the exact same.
Issues with both beta's:
1. Cannot cold boot.
2. Logitech G15 acts erratically prior to entering Vista.
Things I have tried:
1. Raising Vcore.
2. Raising NB/SB voltages.
2. Raising FSB Terminator voltage.
Nothing helps. MSI simply told me not to OC and run at stock and that there was no problem. Is there anyone else out there that has this cpu and mb? If so, can you post your experience with it and let me know if there is something I am doing wrong or could try?

Below is the actual transcript that I had with MSI on this issue. As far as they are concerned, I don't need to change the multiplier on my QX9650. (Start reading from the bottom up for the actual order of the conversation)
Quote
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 Then, there is no problem with the mb.
End User 02/19/2008 There doesn't seem to be any issues with usb while on using the shipping bios, I only see it when I flash to the beta bios'.
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 If the stock bios also has the usb issue then try: Have all USB device connected to the rear USB ports that are build onto the mb and retest with all USB header on the mb be removed from any front USB connections or adapter connections and retest. If all steps have been tried and problem still persists then please kindly refer to our website for manufacturer warranty RMA info/request: http://www.msicomputer.com/support/CustomerS.asp
End User 02/19/2008 No change. I cannot even cold-boot at stock settings with this. Also, it still kills my Logitech G15 keyboard randomly. i have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to power up, and that is only after I boot into Vista. Back on the shipping bios for now at stock settings. Please, if you would, keep me informed of changes or progress. Thanks.
End User 02/19/2008 Thanks! I will poat back if it helps or not.
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 Beta bios v111 attached to this form.
End User 02/19/2008 Is there any other beta bios' that you have that could help? The P05 didn't work out so well, maybe you have a newer one that I could try? It seems odd that it is only on a cold boot that I have issues and not on warm boots. I am willing to try anything you got at this point!
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 Sorry, but MSI did not see any issue with using QX9650 processor.
End User 02/19/2008 So are you saying that as far as MSI is concerned, there is no issue with the QX9650 and the P7N Diamond motherboard? I am not asking you for advice on hot to OC it, I am asking you if you know of the issue and are looking into it to try and correct it. If you do not think there is an issue and are not going to investigate it, then I will be very disappointed.
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 If there is no problem with standard bios and no OC then you can refer to other website/forum for OC suggestions or settings. MSI does not provide these setting/suggestions since it can cause damage to the components.
End User 02/19/2008 Also, I am unable to use the Dual Core center, as I am running Vista 64. It does not load properly when using this OS.
End User 02/19/2008 As of now, it boots and runs fine with the shipping bios and no OC. But, why would I have paid such a high premium to get a QX9650, that has an unlocked multiplier, if I cannot use it? Is this strictly an issue with the newer 45nm Intel processors or is it something else? If not being able to use my cpu's unlocked multiplier is "ok", then I may return the board for a refund.
MSI Tech. 02/18/2008 What is the problem when system uses the standard bios and not OC?
End User 02/18/2008 Is there a fix on the way or is it just a problem with my hardware? I have it back on the shipping bios and it is at least cold-booting now, as well as my G15 is working. I upped the NB voltage a hair above auto, maybe this has somethinng to do with it?
MSI Tech. 02/18/2008 Use the standard bios and use software to OC: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=utility&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1372
End User 02/18/2008 I was way too quick to say everything is OK. I now have cold boot issues aplenty. 9 times out of 10 it will not post on a cold boot, but will warm boot. I have to power off then on real quickly to get it to post at stock speeds. Also, my Logitech G15 started to act erratic with the P05 beta. I am back on the shipping bios until I hear from you.
End User 02/18/2008 Thanks you for the beta. I flashed to it, cleared the cmos and set everything back up and now I have a new problem. Even though I have disabled the EIST function in the bios, it still seems to be on. i am using cpu-z version 1.44.1 to monitor the multiplier and it randomly shifts between whatever I set it to and 6. It is even doing it when the system is loaded, ie playing games. Please, help!
MSI Tech. 02/18/2008 Beta bios attached to this form.
End User 02/18/2008 Everything is stable 100%. But, on my QX9650, I set the multiplier to 10X to run at 10x333=3.33ghz. It was fine until this morning. I turned the computer on and it would not post. I powered down and repowered it up and it siad the cpu vid had failed or errored, hit F1 to enter setup or F2 to load defaults. I entered setup and the multiplier was set back to 9x. I left it there and am ok now. Is there a beta bios that helps out operations with the newest Intel 45nm processors, such as the QX9650?
I have absolutely no issues in Vista itself, it is 100% stable. It is only on a cold boot that I have serious issues. And yes, I got 3 in a row, went to work for a few hours, then came home and bam! No cold boot. Also, I don't know how comfortable I am raising the vcore that much, as 1.21-1.25 is the normal operating range. 1.3625 is aweful high. Now, with the 65nm quads, that is more in the range of what would be needed, but no way should it be necessary to pushh this QX9650 to a meeger 3.33ghz. As far as temps go, I have the processor watercooled, so no worries there. I am away from home now until Saturday morning, so I can't test anything until the weekend.
Thanks alot for the responses!

P7N Diamond - Computer will not enter sleep or hibernation automatically

I have Norton Anti-Virus which I put into silent mode. Also, there is Fax Talk Communicator (in idle mode) and Webroot Spy-Sweeper. I'll try shutting them down and see what happens. BTW, an MSI tech-rep I spoke to today said that ACPI was not enabled in BIOS before installing Vista, therefore Vista does not recognize the system as being ACPI compliant. He suggested I re-install OS after first enabling ACPI in BIOS. What do you think, make sense?

P7n diamond - no bios - 2 of them - fun troubleshooter

Hello,
I write fun troubleshooter because I went so far as to try my friends "working for years" Asus P5B-Plus mobo and CPU and RAM and had same results...
Specs: P7n Diamond - OCZ GameXstream 700W PSU - E8400 Wolfdale - G.Skill 4gb RAM (2x2) - MSI NX8800GT 512mb OC - 2 Sata WD HDDs - 2 Sata DVD drives
The Story:
I get my supplies from newegg and built it, it turns on (gives CMOS Checksum Error) but then enters bios..... then I get random freeze-ups (even in bios) that were fixed by manually setting my ram to its default timings and low end of voltage. This fixes it enough to allow me to install Vista 64 business. I get everything running happily and play HL2/TF2 games for about a week before it starts locking up more and more frequently. my USB mouse would die in game and the mouse lights/laser would turn off before the system just froze about 10 secs later... So I decide it could be a Vista issue and so I setup a dual-boot with XP-32. It seems to fix the freeze-ups before about 5 days later it starts freezing in XP too. I ran memtest for 6+ hours with zero errors (albeit it did give me memtest errors when i used bios auto timings for ram)... During the freeze-up issues I went from bios 1.0 to 1.16 to rule that out..... didnt fix it. It ended up getting to the point where I was freezing before windows XP or Vista even loaded... so I RMA'd the p7n diamond.
Receive my 2nd p7n diamond and got it in.. It boots to Vista before freezing 2min later.. same with XP.. mouse stopped working after even just surfing IE. then it hard locks... one time I did get the (PFN_LIST_CORUPT) BSOD... but its not consistent.. most freeze-ups just hard lock it with no BSOD. I get immediately frustrated and try throwing my friends 4 (1gb) sticks of PNY DDR2-667 in the machine... turn it on and it doesnt boot to bios at all/nor give any beep codes.. re-throw my DDR2-800 back in and again.. not even an attempt to show bios - i turn it on and nothing comes up on the monitor (the monitor just flashes waiting for a signal).. So I try more troubleshooting. Disconnected EVERYTHING but one stick of ram and the graphics card... same result - no post.... swapped ram, even tried taking the graphics card out.. no beep codes... I then assume its a bad CPU and try my friends working-for-years E6300 core-duo chip.... same result-no bios..
Then I figure - it has to be 2 bad p7n diamond mobos.. So i try my friends Asus P5b-Plus with my E8400 CPU... turn it on.. SAME result!! no bios or beep codes.. i'm thinking now bad PSU and its frying Mobos on contact?? Odd because both p7n diamonds gave me perfect on-board LED readouts when plugged in and turned on (and on standby).. All peripheral cards lit-up fine... and my friends p5b-plus also had the red light showing it was getting power.... Is it possible a PSU that worked for 2 weeks relative fine all of a sudden fry things?
so I go to best buy and buy an Antec 650W PSU to rule it out.. same result! no bios...... the main frustration is I was using the system for about 2 weeks relatively fine and now all of a sudden things seem to "fry" on contact..
Anyway, I RMA'd this p7n diamond, and the OCZ 700W PSU to try new ones... I was just looking for opinions on what could be the problem.. I mean as it looks.. either the PSU was frying motherboards yet still lights their LEDs up.. or my E8400 CPU is ruining the motherboard?? or my RAM went bad after being OK?
some questions - when I get my new setup - im going to plug it in paranoidly...... Can I power up the system with no RAM sticks in it at all?? I just want to make sure RAM wasnt causing the mobo to short out? Is it possible the GPU is frying the mobo? Could my Antec 900 case wires be causing this? I feel since I tried so many diff combinations its the one thing thats staying consistent??
Thanks in advance!!
-mike

Mike...when you get it back...run it outside the case, just the bare essentials, lay the MB on a non-conductive surface (the foam packing works fine.) If it boots up and works normally..start checking your case for extra MB standoff pins that you may have left in..they will short the board. If it still has a problem out of the case w/ minimum components...then you can start troubleshooting components. This is the way to start. G/luck.

P7N Diamond - Problems with different things

Hi, n0id here.
I have recently bought a computer in parts (from different web shops).
Yesterday I finally got the processor and was able to build the computer, so I started building the computer.
After about an hour of mounting the parts, I decided it was finished, so I powered it on and watched it boot.
The first thing I noticed was that if my USB Keyboard was plugged in, POST would freeze at "Initializing USB Devices".
I figured it was only temporarily, so I switched to a PS/2 Keyboard, which helped.
The next thing that happened was the BIOS was not able to find my Hard Drive (SATA). I was wondering if because the motherboard support SATAII if SATA drives wheren't compatible. I opened the case and saw that the SATA cable wasn't plugged in properly. So after putting it back in properly, I booted the computer again.
So, now that POST was running OK and BIOS found all my components, I decided to install Windows XP.
After about a minute of reading the cd (windows initializes the installation program in DOS) it stopped reading, and the computer freezed. Finally, It got to the point where I can partition the HDD. But the computer would always reboot at this point. I haven't figured out why yet.
So I connected the HD to my old computer and installed windows here. That worked.
I reconnected the HD to the new computer and after windows loaded, I got a blue screen and the computer would reboot again.
So I decided to remove some of the components. I removed one RAM module, the soundcard (Creative XFI Gamer) and unplugged the 120mm back fan. At this point I was able to format the drive and install windows without a problem.
So I decided to insert the components again, but when I then started the computer, I didn't get a picture on the monitor. I tried with a different monitor and with a different graphics card, neither of which made a difference.
At that point I went to bed because I had already spent seven hours trying to figure things out and it had gotten very late.
So now I am here asking for any guidance.
My computer specs are:
MSI P7N Diamond motherboard,
2x 1Gb Kingston 1066 Memory modules running at 1.8v,
Geforce 7900GS,
Creative X-Fi Gamer soundcard,
Intel Q6600 G0 @ 2.4Ghz,
Thanks for any help.

Hello again.
I am trying to overclock my Q6600.
Everytime the FSB is over 267mhz (2.4ghz CPU Clock) I get a BSOD: "IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".
Then it's dumping the memory and restarting.
When Windows starts up again, the FSB is back at 267mhz.
I am using the application MSI Dual Core Center, that followed with my motherboard.
I noticed in this application that memory voltage was set to 1.9v. The memory modules I bought are 1.8v because when I bought the MSI P7N Diamond, it said it only supported 1.8v memory. aww :S
Anyway, my full specs are:
Intel Q6600 (G0 stepping) - 2.4ghz
MSI P7N Diamon (7510) Mainboard
1x 1GB Kingston (KVR1066D2N7K2/2G) memory modules, 1.8v, 1066Mhz,
Antec NeoPower 650 (650W, 3x 12v @ 16A)
GeForce 7900GS
Creative X-Fi Gamer
Win XP Pro, SP2.
I am going to browse around the forums for similiar problems, though I thought I'd post this now.
After browsing the forums I've learned a few things.
My Q6600 has a VID of 1.3250 and the box it came with said that 1.35v is the max. So I have changed the voltage to +0.0250 and was able to clock the CPU to 2.67Ghz without a problem (temps are 33 - 36 celcius on idle.)
My question this time is: even though the box says 1.35v max will I safely be able to set the voltage higher than that?
I would assume that Intel is setting a maximum that is lower than the actual max, just to keep the processor safe. But I do not know stuff like that :P
My target is 3ghz, and if reaching that clock means I need to apply a greater voltage than 1.35v, and it isn't safe; that would totally suck.
edit,
To achieve 3ghz I supplied these settings in the BIOS:
FSB: 1333 Mhz
DRAm: 800 Mhz
EIST: Disabled
Multiplier: x9
Nb voltage: 1.35
FSB Term.: 20
CPU GTL Fef: 5
The cores are currently at 36-38 at idle, compared to 28-32 on stock clock.
I will see if I can buy some extra fans to put in the front to blow cool air into the case, and maybe buy a new cpu cooler.
Btw, the vCore is 1.3v (and it's also set to auto in bios).

P7n Diamond, Corsair TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF, speed problems

I have been having various problems with both the RAID and memory speeds in this system. The RAID problems (DEGRADED RAID 5) come and go but my current primary issue is that the system will not run with the memory set at its rated settings:
1066 MHz
5-5-5-15
2.1v
The best I can get it to clock up to is 1000 MHz at which the system will run for about 5 to 10 minutes before locking up. I ran memtest for 2 full cycles at this frequency and no problems were detected (i think it was run at 1000 MHz, it's been a while sorry).
The system is currently running stable at 800 MHz (the speed it sets the memory to on auto). It will also run stable at various points higher up to the 1000 as I mentioned above but since I have never heard of someone running their system anywhere between 800 and 1066 (unless they were overclocking) I figgured it would be most healthy for my system to run at the 800 and no higher until we can get this figured out.
I have seen that this board sometimes sets the wrong automatic voltage on some people's 45nm processors. My x3350 is a 45nm proc but i'm not sure what its voltage is supposed to be, i just left it on automatic... maybe this has something to do with the problem?

Hey, thanks guys. Wow it's amazing that nobody had said anything about the 1066 memory to me before (like when i was building the system and throwing together a parts list).
The only problem they could find with my config on eggexpert.com was the motherboard... they said it had problems with the raid but didn't quote or point to any sources so i just did a google search and when i couldn't find anything to back up their problem statement i just blew it off. Guess it's the last time i'll ever make that mistake.
Either way though, MSI says it should work fine. So if it doesn't, shouldn't there be something that could be done? You would also think that I could find someone out there who's WAY smarter than me who has had this same raid problem and figured it out and gotten it to work. I'm sure there's plenty of guys out there who are using this board with a raid 5 as well, so maybe i'm just doing something wrong? I have always had good results with MSI and I really don't think it should have to come down to finding another mobo manufacturer.
Oh, and for anyone who might suggest rma, it's too late for that. Believe me, i would if i could.

Hi everyone,
I've had my board up and running for around a week now and up until Saturday it had given me only a few minor problems, the first of which was a BSOD when trying to install the Jmicron drivers and the driver s for my X-FI (they do not seem to like each other). I eventually uninstalled the Jmicron drivers and disabled the controller in bios which seemed to do the trick.
For a while after that everything seemed fine got my various games installed all of which seemed to play fine ( TF2, HLF2 (EP 1 & 2), Stalker, X3). Then on Saturday I decided to install the Crysis demo and for a short time all was well, then my system just rebooted, no BSOD no error just restarted to windows this happened again and again. I also bought COD4 and the same happens with as well never in the same place just random. It also rebooted once during a norton virus scan when tried to enter My Computer
My system is running cool enough I think I have 1 105CFM 120mm intake fan, 1 side intake fan 80mm and 2 55CFM 80 mm exhaust fans the air is only ever slightly warm and that was after playing HL2 EP2 for 2/3 hours.
I am at the moment running prime 95 and so far after 3hours all is well, I am also running X3 demo (@ max settings 4xaa 16xaf)in a continuous loop in the background as well to try and trip my system up but at the moment no reboot.
Any Ideas?

Give this a try.

You may be one of the ones like me and a few others that can only run this board stable with overclocking the cpu to 3ghz. That should be easy to do even on air, but keep an eye on it. I was unable to get viper, g.skill or patriot memory to run at 1066 with my board, at least so far, so you may have better luck than I. Except for getting your memory to work at 1066, I can almost promise that this will work for you. I also had the problem with the jmicron drivers and do not use them now.
Word of warning, too much playing around with this can lead to OS corruption, so be easy.

BIOS Post Error Beeps on P7N Diamond

Hello. I have had this board for a few days now. I was playing a windows game and got a BSOD after a few minutes. The PC rebooted and I noticed the BIOS Post beeps were different. Before this there was just one long beep, which my research tells me that everything is ok. Now when I boot up I get 3 beeps ... 1 long, followed by 2 short. I researched this as well and found the following in my situation. According to AMI BIOS Beep Codes:
1 long, 2 short - Failure in video system An error was encountered in the video BIOS ROM, or a horizontal retrace failure has been encountered.
I'm not sure what this means exactly. It suggests 2 possible errors. Does this mean my video card is bad (8800GTS 512MB)? I have no idea what the second possible error ... retrace failure ... means. I am hoping that you might shed some light on this. Much appreciated.

I also get the faint short beeps after the initial louder long beep but I never associated this with usb devices or really attached any significance to it.
UPDATE: Ram MEMTEST86+ for 8 hours - no errors.
Replaced the USB keyboard connector with normal keyboard - and using a single tethered USB mouse - get 1 beep on startup.
Put in USB keyboard - get two beeps on startup.
Put in USB remote wireless mouse and get 3 beeps on startup....
Conclusion: Beeps seem to be USB related not error related.
Sierra2 below- the office deskietop being refurbished...
Added USB extension cable to link to the Dell Screen; and then connected a other couple of UBS devices to the three open ports on the board and one to the Screen [Screen is not USD2 - other ports are USB2]
Apacer MultiCard Reader
Wireless Mouse
Wireless Keyboad and
an extra USB [tethered] mouse.
All was fine until I added the 5th USB device - and then thought it was just missing the mouse driver - but on reboot - heard a few more beeps [didnt listen that closely post midnight] and got various stops eventually getting through to WIN. Then it went bellyup unstable and kept rebooting - unpredictably and intermittently but within 5 to 10 min of each windows adventure.
Removed all but the wireless keboard and the tethered mouse - and it has settled down - but am now getting three short beeps at the start. In setting this up yesterday - no beeps at all with a USB mouse and standard keyboard connector. Sound at start is maybe one beep and two short ones or three short ones - neither of us listening can tell. I guess I need to hook up the case speaker as the board speaker is pretty small.
AMI BIOS beeps diagnostix says it is likely a faulty RAM error on 2 or 3 beeps
But now, seeing this about the P7N Diamond, I am beginning to wonder if it is a USB related issue. Maybe too many USB devices. P4M900 has 2 x 2ports. Just wondering if adding more than 4 USD devices really cause unstability?? Will run MEMTEST86+ on the RAM this evening to check. Totally wierd- especially for a supposedly stable and simple board... Thanks for any ideas... k2
