Problem with K9N DIAMOND at boot

Hello,
I've a problem with my mainboard K9N Diamon.
I've this configuration :
K9N Diamond
Athlon X2 6000+ with Zalman 9700NT
2x1go DDR 2 PC2 6400 at 800Mhz Corsair DOMINATOR
Thermaltake Thoughpower 700W
Case Thermaltake Kandalf VA9000BWS
GeForce 7600GT Msi
2x 320go WD HDD
Dvd burn LG H42L
So, When I plug the power cable, the pc turn on, but 3sec later it stop. I push the power button, nothink.
I change the alimentation, with a 350w enermax, 500w PFC, 500w thermaltake, nothink.
The D-Bracket tell me no infomation, at the shutdown after 3sec, the led are different at the last boot. Impossible to identify the problem.
I test a 4200+ with 2x512mo DDR2 PC2 6400 at 800mhz corsair XMS2 and NX 6200 msi, but no change. When I plug the power cable it start, and 2 3 sec later it stop.
I reset the bios, with this method :
Code: [Select]
1.Shut Down the PC.
2.Unplug the Power Supply from the AC outlet and unplug the cord from the back of the Power Supply.
3.If your Power Supply has an On/Off switch on the back of it turn it Off.
4.Ground yourself and your PC.
5.Remove all DDR2 DIMMs
6.Remove the following power connectors on your mainboard:
   *JPWR1 - ATX 24-pin Power Connector
   *JPW1 - ATX 12V Power Connector
   *JPWR2 - ATX 12V Power Connector
7.Clear CMOS.
8.Reattached power connectors in Step 6 above.
9.Place a DDR2 DIMM in DIMM3 (the slot closest to the CPU).
10.Plug AC cord into Power Supply and AC outlet.
11.If your Power Supply has an On/Off switch on the back of it turn it back On.
12.Boot the PC.
But no result.
I test the CPU, graphic card and memory on other PC, It work fine.
So, I think the mainboard is broken, I see problem like mine, but it's different here.
I'm for MSI, I've all pc with this material, and all of my friend / custommer, but here I'm disappointed.
This is an problem with a production series default ?  I dunno.
So I I'am for MSI, and I think I'v bad luck in this moment ! 
Sorry for my english, i come from Corsica ^^

Thanks again for your answer and Help.
I've trid to start with just : Athlon 6000+ / 512mo DDR2 .
The system start, 2sec later stop. for restart with power button its impossible. I change the power button with reset button, same problem.
I test with an screw driver, the system start when I plug power supply, and after 2 3second stop. I test to start with screw driver, I similar... but 10sec later, after short reset, hdd led, its start, for 2 3 sec ! LOL. To restart again, I did short reset, hdd, led, hdd, reset, power, reset, .......... and at one moment its star 2 3 sec !!! Dor restart I do it again. LOL.
It's very strange. When its want , it start ! U_u
So tomorrow, I contact my supplier to change the mainboard ^^ !
I think its the only solution !
Thank again for your help, If you have many idea, I take that again :p
See you soon

  • Problem with K9N Ultra and Windows 7!!

    Hello,
    I have the following system:
    - K9N Ultra (MS7250 - Version:2.0)
    - AMD Athlon 64 3500+
    - 4x Kingston KVR533D2N4/512
    - NVIDIA GForce 7300GS
    - Seagate Baracuda: ST3120827AS (7200rpm)
    - NEC DVDRW ND4571A
    I am running Windows XP SP3 but when I try to install Windows 7 (either 32 or 64 bit versions), when the system boots up, I choose to run from CD/DVD, the files are being loaded in the beginning but then the system is stuck in the next screen where it says Starting Windows with the green bar. I have left it for up to 90 minutes and it remains there, no change. I have tried with several different disks, always the same. I tried disabling legacy USB drivers, disabling on board audio, disabling USB and having a normal keyboard and mouse, always the same, no change whatsoever, the system halts at the same point every time.
    Can someone please offer some help?

    i tried once more, again disabling onboard audio, legacy, floppy, everything.....same thing, when the files are loaded and the screen goes at the green bar, the DVD spins down and halts there for ever.
    i am really pissed with this problem. i have installed windows 7 in all of my computers and this is the only one that absolutely refuses for windows 7 to be installed! 
    hmm..what do you mean about the PSU? why would the installation of 7 have a problem with the PSU? 2 days ago i installed again windpws xp sp3 (just to see if they would install in contrast to 7) without a problem. i am really tired of changing keyboards, DVDs, taking RAM in and out etc to it...i could live without the need to take a PSU out of another pc and install it to that one, is there some BIOS fix for the problem you mention?
    the bios is version 3.00 from what i read.
    also..what is nvidia boot agent that is the fourth option of boot in my bios??

  • Problem with udev during the boot

    Hi guys,
    Sorry if I didn't post this message in the good section but I didn't find any support section, so I supposed that this section was the most apropriate.
    So, I have a really ennoying problem with udevd since the latest kernel upgrade (3.2.2-1) during the boot.
    I have the following error at the boot:
    "udevd[37]: No such file or directory." and then the OS is unable to mount the disks and give me the weakest shell ever while saying me "You're on your own". Thank you Arch!
    I can't find any informations on google about this error, and I d'ont find a complete explanation of udev debug (specialy because no logs are written at this moment).
    Thank you very much guys.

    Could you elaborate on how to just reinstall the kernel? Somehow I'm stuck
    Usually, you'll need a live CD (I recommend an ArchLinux Installation CD) or an LTS kernel sitting around on the same machine that can get you more or less into your favored machine.  It can also be done, by pxe/diskless booting from an installation (I'm a fan of quick and efficient)!  Then you have to mount all the necessary partitions /, /usr (sometimes /var if you need your packages) and most importantly /boot.  They have to be mounted underneath the rescue system being used , usually under /mnt.  Also needed is a mock-up of your /proc. /sys and /dev.  Once they are mounted accordingly, then you chroot into your installation you need to fix.  It helps if the rescue system has the same kernel, because the chroot'ed system usually tries to build your kernel based on the rescue system, but if you have your kernel package handy, it will build it with the packages modules & kernel.

  • NForce 3: Problems with Maxtor Diamond Max 10 16MB Cache?

    I heard that the NForce 3 chipset does have problems with these hard drives.
    Could anyone tell me more about it? I'd like to get 2 of these 250GB drives for my system, replacing my older 80GB Diamond Max 9 discs.
    Do these discs run normally, or won't they?

    I'm using the first port nearest the CPU which comes up in the BIOS as Master 5 - as far as I can work out these are the Nvidia ones.
    I've disabled the second IDE chain in the BIOS but it worked before that.
    I did build the machine when pissed (not a great idea) so my memory of the steps taken is a little hazy.
    I partitioned the disk with a Windows ME floppy before trying to install XP - this turned to be a bad idea as either XP or the board didn't want to recognise it.
    Wiped partitions and partitioned it from the XP CD- fine.
    Added second disk after install.

  • Stability problems with Win7 x64 and Boot Camp 3.1...

    Before I was running win 7 with Boot Camp 3.0 and On top of that I installed my Chipset and Graphics from Nvidias Website. System was running without any major problems.
    Now I have win7 and BootCamp 3.1 and the laptop runs like crap... System freezes sometimes only for a minute most of the time I need to hold power button.
    The last time I has ScanDisk start on me and start checking. it found about 200 missing files some unindexed and MFT bitmap was repaired...
    Do not know why, I'm unable to figure out what was causing that.
    Currently I have win7 x86 with bootcamp 3.1 installed and The system works good.
    I think there is an issue with the 3.1 x64 driver package.
    If anyone has any Ideas on what I can do to figure out why the system runs so unpredictable with 3.1 x64 drivers installed. I'm whiling to experiment and reinstall win7 x64 as many times as needed so i can send an error report to apple to get this issue fixed.

    Wow, i've been running windows 7 64 bit in boot camp since I got my copy as a beta tester in July and never had any issues like you're describing. Boot camp 3.0 worked fine (other than the light in the audio port and minimal touchpad control, and the still present inability to dim the screen dynamically based on brightness around me). And I've had no problems with boot camp 3.1 so far. In the previous BC versions, I went to the nvidia site and downloaded whatever the current driver was for the video, but nothing specific for the chipset. With 3.1 I haven't done even that, just using what the boot camp update installed. Have you tried it with just the BC 3.1 drivers, not getting anything extra from Nvidia or anyone, just to see what happens from that point first?
    About the only time I had any issues with diskchecking is when I accidentally close fusion and it abends my windows session. I make a point then of booting and telling it to ignore the disk check, editing the registry to reset the flag so it doesn't do it, then just run a disk check from within windows telling it NOT to fix anything, so that it can verify it's clean. I found the normal disk check in the preboot environment is horrendous on the MBP, takes me literally hours to run through despite it never finding anything to fix.

    I have been having lots of problems with Windows XP just locking up on me.  It has happened 3 times now, and I am tiring of re-building my PC from scratch.  Every time, it works for a while, and then, just locks up one day.
    At this point, I've removed my partition, rebuilt it, reformatted and re-installed windows.  I'm currently running the AMI v1.3 bios.  I've loaded the latest nVidia drivers (9.53 driver package).  I've loaded the latest graphic drivers from EVGA (169.02_XP32).
    I've read lots of posts in various forums about issues with SATA settings on nVidia systems, but I can't seem to find a post that is clear about the best settings.  They mentioned disabling command queuing, using/not using SiL drivers, etc.  Can anyone offer any insight that might help me straighten out my system?  I am close to tossing it out a window.

  • All sorts of problems with P4N Diamond

    Hello all
    I am trying to get my P4N diamond motherboard to work and I am starting to get pretty p****d off with it. I have built many systems before and on the whole they work fine pretty much straight away.
    The first few times I tried to boot the syetem up I got a series of low and high beeps from the board and I couldn't even get into the BIOS set up screen. After unplugging USB devices and network ect I finall ymanaged to get into the BIOS. If I leave my printer plugged in (USB) I get a beep from the system speaker every now and then.
    I then tried booting to windows. I have 2 windows builds on my hard drives - both of them crash when I try to boot into them, I have tried safe mode.
    I then decided that I would install a fresh copy of windows (even though I only did this about a week ago). I put my windows CD in (XP media centre) and try to go through the normal set up procedure. I I try to repair the current installation or install a new copy it crashes each time it examines the discs.
    I then load the drivers that came with the MB as the wondows installer is booting up - I load 3, 2 form one disc and 1 from the other. Now when I try to install a new copy it hangs on please wait.
    I have a 400W power supply this one, 2 IDE CD drives, one IDE hard disk (secondary) and 1 SATA Hard drive. FOr most of what I was trying above I had the IDE drive disconnected and was jsut trying to get it to work with the SATA drive.
    I think this is something to do with Raid drivers (even though I don't want a RAID array) but I don't know how to fix it.
    I was hoping to have this all workign for tomorrow morning. Now I am goign to have to use my slow old laptop for work instead.
    I REALLY hope someone can help me with this.

     I might have a little bit of insight for you on your problems.
    1. Beeps from your P4N:
     You should get one beep for every USB device you have connected to your system.
    2. Windows crashes when installing:
     Make sure that you have NO USB devices connected, if have USB mouse or keyboard, get old ones for initial install and then once windows is running connect them, also you can get adapters. Also make sure that you only have ONE stick of RAM in when installing. If you have two, wait till you have windows up and running to install the other. Make sure that you have NO scratches on the back of the CD.
    3. Diamond Clue CODE no good.
     Call MSI on this, you are not the only one.
     When building a new computer you should always build bare bones to make sure that you can boot with no errors. Its really not needed to have your printer hooked up the first time you are going to boot up your new computer, these are the type on things that cause conflicts. I would try to get things running bare bones here...that means the mininum. Try one hard drive...then work your way up. If you dont want RAID it should be easier for you, make sure that you have the jumper settings right on all drives. ALSO it would help if you would create a sig line (see mine below) with all your hardware. Make sure that you incluse your PSU 12v...you have a dual rail 15 and 14. It will help the mods help you.
    GL and post back with ?'s

  • K9N Diamond - Wont boot after BIOS update

    Just attempted to update the BIOS on my PC and it now wont boot.  Used LiveUpdate with the Windows flash option (don't have FD drive).  The lights on the D-Bracket 2  get as far as LED 2 Green, 1,3,4 Red.  I have already tried to Clear CMOS with no joy.
    Any suggestions on how to proceed much appreciated  - and yes, I already know, I've probably done something stupid
    Thanks
    Grant.

    Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 25-March-07, 19:22:15
    power down PC, remove power cord from the PSU, push several times power button to drain capacitors, then Clear CMOS and leave only one memory stick into DIMM slot close to CPU socket. pull back power cord and try to boot.
    in a future do not update the BIOS for no reason....(only becouse its new, only becouse new BIOS maybe got a new logo and e.g...)
    Looks like I'm back in business now.  I found similar instructions at this location  http://www.bosamar.com/K9N/trouble.html and followed the First Procedure.
    Booted ok with one mem stick, in bios fail safe mode.  I counted 7 short beeps while booting then one long beep.  Not sure if this is ok.  Read about bios beeps here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=82221.0 and the final long beep seems to indicate a pass???.  Anyway, Vista appeared to come up ok and I checked everything in the hardware device manager and all looked fine.
    Proceed to reboot with all mem sticks back in place, again same beeps but Vista coming up ok.
    Next I switched bios to optimized defaults, but now 6 short beeps - no long beep.  Windows looks ok.  6 beeps appear to indicate a keyboard problem, but kbd seems to work fine???
    System looks ok now, but not sure if i should look into those beeps a bit more?  BIOS now at 1.3, should I leave as is or revert to an earlier revision?
    One thing I know that I am going to do is to install the FD drive from my old PC 
    Thanks for all the help.
    BTW, the reason I did the BIOS flash was as a last resort to get my sound to work.  Tried the various creative driver as suggest elsewhere on this forum but without success (as of yet there is no official vista compatible audio driver for my mb from MSI).  The JAUD1 connector looks to be connected as specified in manual (but no audio from either the front nor real panel audio connectors).

  • Problems with P7N Diamond

    Very Sorry if i upset you!
    MSI P7N Diamond  Ver: 1.1 with Bios 1.3
    2x1 Gb Corsair xms2 PC2 6400 tested and works on same board but not this one.
    2x500Gb Samsung F1
    Win XP Pro SP3
    cannot update bios to 1.4 from 1.3
    Tried USB method, CD, Floppy even safe mode command prompt.....disabled everything but the drives with bios files( usb,cd,floppy) but it still it finds the disabled Hardisk and boots into windows.
    Memory will not work in Dual channel...sometimes it boots but nothing on screen.
    Single channel boots most times but after trying USB or CD method it sometimes does not boot into windows.
    Tried online too but only comes up with 1.3 bios
    MSI support is none existent or impossible to get any sense out of them...after repeating my name and email address several times over the telephone i am still not sure if they understood.
    I have filled in the online report system 3 times over the last two weeks but no reply and nothing active in box although it says report complete after submitting.
    Have tried all the ways stated on updating bios.
    I have updated many bios's on various boards, ASUS, ASrock, Aopen, Biostar etc no problems! Even modded bios on Asus boards.

    Quote from: stooper on 04-September-09, 06:04:06
    Against my better judgment, I'm going to reply to this.  By your own admission, the motherboard was functioning fine in single channel mode.  Your issue only occurred under attempts to operate in dual channel mode.  Considering the real world benefits of dual channel memory are arguably negligible, one could remark it's such a minor technical detail, that nobody need b infatuated over it.
    Indeed, again by your own admission, the problems were resolved after you disassembled and reassembled the system with different cables.  Since your arrival, you've been quick to hijack other threads, spew frustration and venom over your issue, and vent agitation against the trouble and bother with all this crap you've had to endure.  Yet, all along, it seems there really was no defect at all on MSI's part.
    You've taken the time to customize your profile avatar with a nice Leeds United animation, but can't be trifled to actually learn about how your equipment operates and how to troubleshoot and optimize it.  So it's so long and farewell and thanks for nothing, hmph!  That's quite a remarkable attitude.
    Good luck with your future Asus adventures.  Perhaps you'll be more satisfied with that choice, perhaps not.  My sense is people with unhappy, wretched personalities will have the odds against them. 
    Oh, and please don't fool yourself that you have so much more of a life to live and real work to get done than anyone else here.  You know nothing about the forum members here, but your demeanor reveals the type of life you have.  I, for one, don't envy you one bit.
    Take a look at reviews of this Motherboard you will see that most people come to the same opinion as myself.
    As for poor support it seems it is a bit hit and miss where ever you go. Some get good support some bad all from the same company.
    I have a nice life living in the English countryside with lots of friends, a dog, three cats and nice girlfriend of many years. A massive garden full of fruit trees, fields full of horses both front and back and good neighbours.
    Thanks for your good wishes and have a nice week-end your self.

  • Problems with creating a USB boot device for Windows 8.1

    My iMac (late 2012) running OSX Mavericks is encountering problems creating a Windows 8.1 install disk via a USB thumbdrive. The drive has 8gb of space available, which is enough to fit windows. But when I choose my ISO image and select the drive I recieve an error message. The error is 'Bootcamp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use a ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation.
    I'm certain this ISO definately contains 64-bit, so I'm slightly confused.
    I've followed instructions found in other discussions talking about adding an extra line of information to 'info.plist' found inside the Package Contents for bootcamp, but that has also not worked. If I try that, Bootcamp crashes upon being clicked every time.
    Any help is appreciated

    First up: a question. How did you fix the crashing Bootcamp Utility? It would help out this guy: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23523783?ac_cid=tw123456#23523783
    Next up: A possible solution (also posted here:https://discussions.apple.com/message/23523783?ac_cid=tw123456#23523783)
    =====================
    It's possible you have a Windows ISO for both 32- and 64-bit. In this case it's probably detecting the presence of the 32-bit installer and forgets to look for another 64-bit version.
    A way to work around this is to not use the Bootcamp Assistant utility by following the listed steps:
    The way installing Windows should work either way using the Legacy BIOS mode:
    - Get a Windows ISO or DVD and copy the contents over to a freshly fat32 formatted USB stick of at least 4GB.
    - Download the Apple Bootcamp Support Software (4.x or 5.x, 5.x only supports 64-bit, get that if you are going 64-bit);
    - Copy the content of the Support Software folder over the the same USB stick from the first step. It should fit just right (it did on my 4GB stick with 2MB te spare!);
    - Use disk utility to partition your disk. Make sure the partition for Windows is Fat32 and at least 30GB;
    - Reboot your machine while holding Option/Alt at the chime;
    - You should be able to select either your OSX HDD or your USB stick labeled "Windows" -> Select Windows and press enter or click the arrow;
    - The Windows installer should now load, format the previously made Windows partition to NTFS;
    - Continue on your way.
    Can you try what I typed above? If it doesn't work, can you let me know at what step things go differently than described?
    Edit: This is based on the logical conclusion that any Mac that was shipped without ODD should be able to boot from USB.
    Edit2:
    One other note is that Mac's have trouble booting from USB when multiple USB storage devices are attached. So make sure you connect only one storage device.
    =====================
    Best of luck to you!

  • Problems with starting Windows after Boot Camp was installed on a Win-PC

    Hi,
    i have a very interesting problem for the MacComunity (haha -.-). The problem is: after I have installed Boot Camp from my Snow Leopard DVD on my Windows PC (not my iMac); I can not start the system. In the Boot Camp System where i can set the system to start with, there was only the Boot Camp System available (not Vista). However, the system installs some Vista-Updates and some Updates from Apple Software Update (iTunes 9.2, Quicktime 7, Safari 5, Airport 5, Boot Camp 3.1) on my PC.
    Everything was all right but after I have restarted the System nothing happend. the System freezed when the boot-Screen (Intel Logo) appears. The Systemkeyboard was not detected. It only detects a n external apple Keyboard. There are some reactions when I press the keys, but the Monitory is frozen, anyway. What can I do?

    Sounds like a lesson in there: don't wait to put OS X on an external drive that is usually off line.
    Rush to a store or on-line and get a UPS of the 1500VA sort (APC RS would be nice, or SMART UPS 1000VA).
    The directory of the drives could be corrupt.
    I have all my equipment, modem, routers, the works, but we had a bad storm and one port on the router/modem is out (the one I used, the modem seems to be okay) and I am worried that the UPS's line filter for DSL in is also 'compromised.'
    Storms and power outages can wRECK or cuase havoc.
    It sounds like you need to map out bad sectors maybe (zero all in Disk Utility) perhaps. The directory, volume blocks, or even journal file, got scrambled. However, because no test can find it means - to me - it could be the "non user partitions" rather than OS X partition etc. Hence, zero the drive or just reformat it in full.
    Why have you not ever with these outages, just continued to live w/o one? I wouldn't just shutdown, I would unplug if a storm approaches.
    PS: SMC Reset button is under drive bay #4. Give it a 5-10 seconds depress.

  • Problem with logical domain and boot net

    Trying to install a new domain on a T2000. Able to get to "Configuring devices" but then it just sits and twirls... What have I configured wrong in the domain creation?

    There are a number of issues with network booting in LDOM 1.0.2, I think they affect all versions of the LDOM software though. If you add a vnet to a guest domain and then try and jumpstart a guest domain from time to time immediately after the guest domain does the RARP request it hangs. Just sending a break to the guest domain, going back to the ok prompt and starting the boot net - install again generally fixes it.
    Also there are some gotcha's with LDOM's that affect jumpstart.
    1) If you chose option a) harden the OS using JASS when doing the installation of the LDOM software and you have the jumpstart server on the control domain then it isn't going to work. JASS turns off things like rpcbind which will prevent jumpstart from working. The same problem affects network booting. You would think that running a jass-execute -u to undo the hardening of the o/s in the control domain would work but it doesn't and you have to start over with a fresh solaris image for the control domain. This only applies if you have your jumpstart server on your control domain.
    2) Since jumpstart relies on the MAC of the client to function and since with LDOM's the MAC is dynamically assigned from a pool of address's you can end up with the wrong entry in /etc/ethers on your jumpstart server. That is worth checking.
    3) Since the MAC of the virtual network device isn't the same as the MAC shown when you run banner at the ok prompt in the guest domain you can end up with the wrong entry in /etc/ethers. Either do a boot net (vnet1 whatever) and then make a note of the MAC its broadcasting or do an ldm list-bindings domainname for the guest you want to network boot and copy and paste the MAC of the virtual network you are going to be booting from.
    All the regular gotcha's with net boot and jumpstart still apply with LDOM's but so do all the usual fixes. Use of snoop will allow you do debug most problems. Also using show-nets at the ok prompt in the guest domain and make sure that you have the right number of virtual networks.

  • Problem with p4n diamond

    Hi i just finished my first computer with this mother board and when i went to turn the power on the first time it would not start except for a few second and then it would shut off. Tech suport refered to my proccessor via website to check proper instalation.  I checked and it was proper and then i  tryed to ask if this was a bios problem and I was asked to pay 10$ for a new bios. msi has already sent me a bios chip when i asked that my revision one would not fucntion with my pentium d 830. is there anything else that can be the culprite with or without being "kindly refered".
    thanks
    p4n diamond sli
    pentium d 830
    gforce 6200 grapics card 128mb
    true power 2.0 sli 550W
    2X1 gb g skill memory 533 mhz

    I figured out why the other drive partions werent showing. turns out  the windows i installed (windows xp pro 64) hides the non partiond drives and make it so you have to go into administrative options to format so that they are viewable. as far as i can see the computer up and running . Happy days

  • Stability Problems with P7N Diamond Continues

    Big bummer. I've had this system since April, took a month to get it working as the first board I ordered was bad, this one seems to be a bum board. I've came here and a few other places, but help has been kind of hard to find.
    Here's what I got:
    MSI P7N Diamond
    Intel QX9650
    2x 2GB mushkin DDR2 1066 (XP2-8500) Timings: 5-5-5-15 2T
    I have 4 HD's: all are seagate baracudas: 250, 500, 750, 1TB
    MSI NX8600GT1GEZ
    At this point overclocking is out of the question. All I want is a reliable PC that runs to its specifcations. RMA-ing this board is a last resort as often enough the RMA boards aren't worth a crap anyway, dont know if this is just the case with lower-end boards, but I hate having to wait, and I'm really ticked about the whole thing.
    The computer reboots at random, I've found "more stable" configurations, but usually the machine will not stay running for more than 24 hours without a reboot. The most stable configurations are with the official 1.2 BIOS, setting the NB to 1.250 v, CPU Volt: Auto, SB: Auto, DRAM: 2.10, and I have manually set the memory timings: CL: 5, trcd: 5, trp: 5, tras: 15, and Command Rate: 2T. The FSB Speed: 1333, and the DRAM Speed: 1066. Temps are normal, and range from about 100 F at idle, and 120 F load on the CPU.
    The voltage on the CPU is on the high side on Auto, the QX9650 can run on as little as .98 v at stock and this board is giving it 1.23 v on auto. The board also tries to set the timings on the memory to 7-7-7-24, which I feel has something to do with it.
    I'm not an overclocker, I don't know what all these voltages do, I've only changed settings that have either been reccomended or have a warning setting (ie turn red).
    I'll try a beta BIOS if one is available, but I was unaware that this board doesn't fully support the 45-nm CPU's.
    There is NOTHING wrong with any of the hardware (except the board perhaps), I've tried other memory, PSU, even RMA the CPU, does the same thing. Everything has been tested, every possibility I can imagine, this problem has been haunting this system for months, and I'm almost to the point of buying a cheap as board that has some credibility that my hardware will work.
    This is my most critical computer, I do everything on it, but I didn't buy a $300 motherboard to have these problems, or find that my CPU scores half of what it should when it is running stock, everything on this board is below stock, benchmarks are way below what they should be.
    I'm up for some ideas, suggestions, if needed, I'll RMA the board, but it the return board does the same thing, I've lost all my faith in MSI. My last system had a P4M900M2 and it kicked butt, and it's a $50 board!  Go figure these boards are worse than imported cars.

    By means of instability, can you describe the symptons of events that happen?
    Can I have a list of the PSU models and RAMs models which you have tested?
    Have you try the hardware on another board? If you have done so, what are the results?
    I have not tried any of my hardware on this board, I have tried other memory on this board, this is the only board I have avialable to me that support LGA775 so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place on that. The memory I tired, couldn't tell you the exact model, but it was Apacer DDR2 800, and was listed under this board as tested memory, i do remember that much- if that helps any.
    As far as overclocking, I was told that overclocking my rig would make it stable, which i feel in this case is a little more than bumping the FSB eitherway. But no this happens under "stock" settings. Orginally with the 1.0 BIOS the machine would sometimes give me a multitude of BSOD, CLOCK_INTERRUPT (A clock inttrupt was not recieved in a timely manner on a secondary processor), DRIVER_IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
    Only way to get the machine to run "stable" is to severely underclock, with the FSB at 1137 and DRAM at 1034.
    Other things. Benchmarks (SiSoft Sandra Lite 2007)
    CPU: Drystone: 39000 MIPS / Whetstone: 28000 MFLOPS
    Memory: 7 GB/sec (1066 with correct timings)
    Both appear to be under par, CPU particularly, and in the event of tinkering, only see a jump in performance when adjusting the multiplier from 9 to 10.5, which isn't stable, stable enough to run a benchmark. So I'm not sure where the problem is.
    This might help, the original thread from back in June.
