Problem with SATA hard discs and MSI motherboards (could it be the SATA cable)

I have two systems with a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250620AS 250GB Serial ATA (3.0Gb/s)
hard disk.
One system has a P965 Neo and the other has a PN6 SLI motherboard.
I am having issues in that the OS seems to install properly but after a few days the users gets on hd type problems.
One users workstation the hard drive would not boot. Tried everything to get it to work from F8 but it would get stuck in the window flash screen with the bottom moving accross the screen.
The other just kept giving the user disk type errors with blue screens.
I since have replaced P965 mobos hd with a pata. Its only been running for a day not sure if that solved it.
The other machine I put the drive into another machine I was building and it found errors and fixed them and booted up. This same hd would not work at all in the prior system so I am RMAing that board. Even a PATA would not finish xp installation with that MOBO.
I am not sure but I have a feeling that the SATA cables may be the cause of this type of problem. These are SATA2 drives. I tend to think you have to use better quality drive cables when using these.
Those things are so flimsy as they are. I think some cables are better then others. Whos the idiot that designed those things?
MSI only gives you one sata cable. My dvd uses one as well.
Has anyone else had issues using the newer faster drives?
I build a lot of machines but have only been building SATA drives for the past 6 months. These are the first to use this seagate 16 mb drive. When SATA first came out I had these types of issues so avoided using them for over a year. Now I would like to continue using them. But these cables appear to have connection issues.

Its happening to two different computers with 2 alike drives. I have 2 other drives not even opened yet. It does appear to be a cable issue however, I don't think I will take the chance and keep the 2 unopened drives as that would be even more risky. I am already stuck with 2.
These drives seem to be very fast at least. But those cheap sata cables are not too comforting.

Problem with Stock A64 HSF and MSI K8N FSR

Hey guys I was wonderinf if anyone could help me with this little problem.
My stock A64 2800+ (newcastle) hsf no longer spins higher than 3500rpm anymore. I first bought my system about 3 months ago and paired it with the msi k8n fsr board. Everything was working fine and under heavy load playing games the hsf would spin to a loud (but effective) 5500rpm max (as measured by speedfan).
About a month ago I managed to kill my k8n board and got a replacement one. Now after setting everything back up, my hsf no longer spins any faster than 3500rpm, regardless if i turn my fan up to 100% in speedfan or run games for hours.
Anyone have a clue?
My specs:
A64 2800+ @ 2.16Ghz (newcastle core)
MSI K8N FSR
1 Gig DDR3200 (generic)
Leadtek Geforce 6600GT

this may sound weird but sometimes i like to return my bios to version 1.3 or below... i want to hear my cpu fan roar! eventhough the reading is high with the old bios, atleast now i'm sure that my CPU is cool... cooler if my CPU fan is on high speed.
hope msi can make a bios update where the user can manually adjust the fan speed to its max... (its true max speed) unlike right now which the max speed only reaches 3000 rpm but its capable of running 5500 rpm.
pray... pray... pray... Lord please have MSI hear my prayers.

Problems with Z68a-gd55 g3 and msi 660 gtx oc ed.

Bought the 660gtx card last week and have been pulling my hair since.. been getting the no post problem with the new card as some other ppl here I see.
from what I gather it's a bios update which is making the combo of these cards to work properly the msi liveupdate took me up to n.70 and that didn't help after reading a couple of posts here i found out about the beta updates for my bios.
Beeing a bit new when it comes to flashing I thought I'd make myself sure at what update to use.
In another post the tip was using .n88 is it still the best to use?

yes it's sandy bridge however I seem to do something wrong with the bios update. using the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool and ran it got the .n88 on there set the bios to boot from it, got a press any key to boot from usb key then it shoot directly to win logo and starts windows.
Running the usb flashing tool program again and it says I got the BIOS Version: VN.8B8 (aka Version: V23.8B8) and a restart later it reverts back to BIOS Version: VN.7 (aka Version: V23.7)
First time I shut down windows after it started and did a clearcmos.
I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong.
Might as well post my system while I'm at it.
System is:
MSI Z68A-GD55 G3
Intel core I5 1155
2x4gb Corsair DDR3 1600
MSI Geforce 660GTX 2GB Twin frozr
320GB WD Caviar
Fractal design Newton R2 650W Modular
almost forgot second time I tried I updates as before and didn't do a clearcmos just turned off the computer plugged the 660 gtx in and started this time I got 2 beeps from mainboard then nothing. then silence for a while then two beeps again until I turned off the computer put my old 250 gts back in and the bois had reverted back to VN.7 again.
without the update and the 660 gtx the update fans running hd runs a bit then nothing btw.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4 every time I open or refresh a page everything freezes and I have to wait a minute or so for it to respond again. I'm also having problems with uploading to Photobucket and watching things via Youtube since the upgrade.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0 a couple of days ago, every time I open or reload a page the whole browser freezes. At first I thought it might be down to compatibilty issues with other programmes open at the time, but as the problem has persisted when those programmes aren't open I'm starting to think it's the browser itself and it's getting extremely frustrating having everything freeze every time I want to change a page.
My other problem is twofold: with Youtube nothing plays at all because the toolbar with the play/pause option simply isn't there and I am unable to access the upload function on Photobucket because likewise it won't appear. I'm assuming this has something to do with Flash but have no idea how to fix it.
I've tried

hello, often such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

Problems with Cool N Quiet and MSI Live Update

Hi
I have had my K8T NEO FISR2 motherboard for a year and generally I have been very happy with it. However, I have just installed Full Spectrum Warrior (about 3 weeks ago ) and Nortons Internet Suite 2005 and both installations resulted in the same error message when I boot up.
The error message is that MSI Live Update isn't started up, and also that Cool N quite is not supported on my motherboard which is obviously rubbish.
I have done a complete re-install of the Live Update and Cool N quite and that fixes it, and then it seems to come back a day later.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Thankyou for your help

I stopped using the MSI software completely. Also got lots of troubles with it. MSi Live Update for example stops the audio drivers working while checking their revision and so on, so my advice is to use it only if needed once in a while and not loading it together with Windows.

Problem with FireWire Hard Drive and JVC MiniDV Video Cam

I've been running my iMac with a 1 TB WD MyBook Firewire drive and it has been working fine.
I just purchased a JVC GR D850 miniDV camera. I hooked the camera up to the second FireWire port on my iMac and, initially, the import of the video from the camera into iMovie was ok (video being saved to the external firewire drive). After a couple of minutes, I got a warning that a device had been disconnected improperly, apparently the firewire drive just disconnected itself from the machine. I rebooted everything and once again, as soon as I turned on the video camera the drive disconnected.
After that, the iMac won't even recognize that the video camera is connected, and when I checked the little bit of video that had been saved on the drive it was unusable. Completely choppy.
Am I dealing with a problem of too little power/memory on this G5 iMac?

You don't specify which model iMac you have, but 2 GB should be enough to handle a video download. Can you try connecting the camera to another computer to see if it is faulty?
Also, have you tried connecting the camera to the port that you have the MyBook in?
Try resetting the SMU and see if that helps. Please post back with results,

Problem with Dual Core Center and MSI 3870

Hello again, my previous thread is this:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=113164.0
The VGA works well, the problem is that AFTER i installed it the Dual Core Center stoped to work!!
Installed the dotnetfix again but no avail, still doesn't work.
And i know that happened after installed the VGA, so i believe that must be part of the problem.
Thanks!

Try the latest version of Dual Core Center.

Problems with creation of views and indexes....but the connection is nice!!

Hi everyone.
I'm running a SQLServer7 migration using migration workbench. The only objects to migrate are: tables, users: views: indexes and foreign keys.
It seesm to go fine with the migration, thus workbench is both connected to the SQLServer and the Oracle Workbench Repository in wich the Oracle Model is created. BUT, after a while and when the view creatiion should go on, I get this message (myhost is the host in wich target oracle instance would be the conversion).
" Failed to connect to /@myhost:1525:MANU. Check the password in the users"s Creation Options in the Oracle Model to make sure it is correct."
So it seems that It tries to connect as OS user...but it was working fine, so why is it trying to re-connect if data was migrating?
any solution?
thanks a lot!!

IE11 Problem with Windows 8.1 and IIS 8.5

I have upgraded my computer from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, 64bit and IIS 8.5 is installed on the upgraded machine. I am unable to view with IE11 the default page of the default website hosted on the local machine. The problem occurs with both
the desktop version of IE11 and the Windows 8 metro style version.
When Chrome is installed on the machine the page is visible but when using IE11 a "This page can't be displayed" message appears. The IIS Log Files reveal that it is receiving nothing from IE11. Other machines I have that have also been upgraded
to Windows 8.1 exhibit the same fault.
The strange thing is that when viewing pages on other networked machines exhibiting the same problem, you can see the pages on the remote machines but in all instances the local page cannot be viewed.
It appears that there is a problem with IE11. Uninstalling and reinstalling IE11 does not fix the problem.
Can anyone help me? Assitance with this problem would be most appreciated.

Hey floridiansue,
Do you have an installed email program such as Microsoft Outlook? If your email is through an online login, such as Gmail, etc, then one will have to create an email association with a program such as Microsoft Outlook on the PC for this Scan to Email system to function.
