Raid Issues with 925XE Platnium-54G Mobo

Hello everyone, I am having ISSUES with the above mentioned mobo and the RAID configurations.  I cannot figure out for the life of me what channel is connected to which controller and how to configure the bios to use the ones I want.  The mobo has IDE1, IDE2, IDE3 and SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4.  IDE1 is Blue and isolated at the top of the mobo.  IDE2 and IDE3 are yellow and together at the bottom of the mobo.  All SATAs are together in the middle of the mobo.
When I read the book, I get the idea that IDE1 is its own controller,  IDE2 & IDE3 belong to the VIA controller and the SATAs belong to the Intel Controller.  Here is my problem whenever I connect a SATA device, the system hangs on POST!  I have tried every combination I can think of in the BIOS, but I cannot get the system to recognize these drives when connected to the SATA ports.
Here is what I am trying to do.
2 120 GB WD 8MB 7200 IDE Drives converted to SATA with the High Point Rocket Head 100 converter.  I want these to in a RAID 0 on the INTEL SATA controller.  I would like to use the VIA controller as an IDE controller not a raid controller, and connected a 200GB Data drive to one of those controllers.  Then use the IDE1 as my optical drive controller.
I know what you are going to say, that is is probably an incompatability with the rockethead converters, but before you jump to that conclusion, I upgraded from the MSI 875P Mobo and used the rocketheads successufully on that mobo.
Can someone PLEASE tell me how to set up the bios so that I can get this thing set up the way I want it within the next 30 days so I can just reinstall Win XP before I activate it for the first time.
Thank You
Lightning
I presently have the 80's in a RAID on what I believe to be the VIA controller with the 200 on the secondary, but this does give me a boot delay, because it warns me that a raid cannot be created with a single drive on every boot.  the 200 is useable in Win XP Pro however.
PLEASE HELP!

yup.  I have given up on this issue, according to High Point, the convert will not work on intel ich5, that's funny, I had it working on my 875 mobo which was ich5.  I am assuming, if it is not suppose to work on ich5, then it will NOT work on ich6.

  • New P7N SLI Platinum Boot Issue with PS/2 Keyboard [Solved but RAID problem now]

    This issue taken me back !!!! Never thought I might face issue with a PS/2 Keyboard.
    Here it is.. I just assembled my new system...
    P7N SLI Platinum Motherboard
    E8400 CPU
    EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR GeForce 8600 GT Video Card
    Creative Soundblaster Audio Card
    So, before I boot, I connected good old PS/2 Keyboard. The POST Screen comes up that says Press DEL to enter BIOS Setup... but then, it reboots.. indefinitely... I have no idea why it does that. However, if I boot the PC with no PS/2 Keyboard connected, POST screen comes up and that's it.. (no reboot). So, you see, I cannot proceed further in anyway.... I cannot go beyond POST without a keyboard, but then with the keyboard it reboots indefinitely... kinda catch 22 situation
    Any suggestion / ideas that anyone can offer here???

    Hello Folks... it took long time to "solve the issue that had to begin with"....
    I purchased a cheapo Celeron processor to get into  the BIOS and update it... but it didn't even work... I couldn't boot at all. So, I called MSI and they asked me to RMA it. They replaced my MOBO with the latest BIOS - which was good news
    So, now, I'm able to boot  - good news...
    Now, this is an upgrade for me.... from my previous MOBO. My boot drive was RAIDed (RAID 0). So, now, I will have to RAID my drives again and run Win XP repair. I was able to RAID my drives and all good... now, I went into Windows installation and did F6 to install NVIDIA Raid.... but, here is my problem, when the prompt asks me to input the floppy drive, and when I did it.... it re-prompts me to put the floppy drive again... I see that the floppy drive is read... but, for some reason it doesn't detect the files in there properly....  I downloaded nVidia C72+MCP55 SATA RAID / AHCI Driver (For floppy driver) for windows xp 32-bit and copied the sataraid folder contents into the floppy. Now, here I am stuck again....
    Anybody experienced this problem?

  • K8N Neo 4 Platnium SLI mobo issues **DEAD**

    My first K8N Neo 4 Platnium SLI mobo got RMA'ed due to the fan on the nvidia chip stopping. This replaced board is now getting RMA'ed as it just fried on me. No idea what is gone on it, but I had a local shop diagnose that it was the mobo.
    So is anyone else having issues with the K8N Neo 4 Platnium SLI mobo? I've asked MSI RMA dept to replace it with a Diamond Plus mobo as the K8N Neo 4 Platnium SLI mobo is oviously crap.
    Do they still make the K8N Neo 4 Platnium SLI mobo or is it now discontinued?

    OK, I'm starting to understand this dual rail thingy.
    Bass, did you mean THIS or THIS Powerstream?
    Also, since I have your attention, what about this Enermax
    I ask as it is cheaper.
    Those OCZs are the same, just a different color.....
    Look at the spec's for the 520W, 33A @ 12V.
    As for that Enermax, it's one of those Dual-rails ones....I would not go there.
    The Enermax EG651-VE is way better, but beware, it doesn't have the SLI videocard connectors, so you may need special inbetween-cables.
    If you planning to build an SLI system, better go for the OCZ Powerstream 520W, the blue one, as that one has the SLI connectors.
    Other then that, they are both the same

  • Issues with windows 7 ram on a gd65 mobo

    Hi all, i recently upgraded my pc after my old asus mobo died on me.  I found a good deal with a gd65, i5 750, and 4 x2 gigs of ram on newegg as a package deal.  I was looking around on windows and it says i have 8 gigs of ram but only 2.99 is available to utilize.... . I have done some searching around the net and these forums for for a fix to this problem, i hear the foxcon socket may be an issues (i do not know which socket type i have or how to tell).  I also saw that in the 1.5 bios update they fixed something with the mobo recognizing 8 gigs of ram, which brings me to my point!
    Should I update my bios, i am currently running in 1.0.  So the question is, is the bios version causing this issue with the ram?  On a side note i originally only had 2 x2 gigs of ram and it had 2 registered and 1 available.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, and here is my system info so that you can better help me
    Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

    If i should update what can i do to make sure it goes as smooth as possible?  Any help at all or a link to something helpful would be great thanks!

    Yes, it is a BIOS detection problem. Update it to v1.5 to solve the problem.

  • Issue with bootadm after mobo upgrade

    Hi,
    the motherboard of one of our servers died and I decided to take this opportunity to upgrade the server. With the new mobo though, the order of the disks is different. I managed to get the system to boot by recreating the device tree, but I am still having some issues with bootadm.
    When I run bootadm list-menu, I get error messages saying that it can't find the menu.lst, which is normal as it looks like it is still searching for the menu.lst at the old location, i.e. /dev/dsk/c0d0s0, when the new location is /dev/dsk/c2d0s0. The weird thing though is that if I run bootadm list-archive, I get no error messages. Any idea what I can do to fix this? I have tried to run bootadm update-archive -f -R, as well as installgrub -m /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c2d0s0, but nothing seems to fix it.
    I am running Solaris 5.11 snv_60.
    Thanks a lot in advance,

  • RAID blocking issues with the new d2 quadra

    I just bought 2 of the newest 500GB d2 quadras and I attempted to set up a level 1 RAID with them daisy chained to my imac via firewire 800 and using disk utility. When I went to set the RAID Block size to 256k and create the RAID I got the screen of death. I then restarted and it did it again on start up. I unplugged the drives and started the computer back up and tested each one individually. I reformatted and tried again, same thing happened.
    I took them into the apple store and it happened again on their computers. We tested other Block configurations (32k, 64k, 128k) and they all worked except 256k. The genius's didn't know what the problem could be. A Leopard issue, hard drive issue, or what else.....
    Is anyone else having this issue? Should I be worried that there is an issue with one of the drives I am trying to RAID and return and get a new drive, or should I just set the block to 128k and not worry. I am pro photographer and am going to be storing and accessing RAW files in large amounts on these drives. What are the benefits and drawbacks for 128k formatting and 256k formatting?
    Any advice would be great! Thanks!

    marisaholmes, welcome to the Apple Boards,
    This board is for the discussion of a specific piece of Apple Hardware called the Xserve RAID. I think there is probably a more appropriate board for this question where you are more likely to find an answer.
    Sorry, hope this helps,

  • To Creative: Audigy LS has major issues with Tomb Raider Lege

    Hi,
    I tried playing Tomb Raider Legend and turns out
    that the Audigy LS card can't play audio properly in this game..
    The sounds cracks, booms, buzzes and produces hiss etc.
    Honestly it makes my ears bleed if I listen to it for too long.
    At first I thought this was only a problem with my card, since I didn't
    find anything related to this issue here at creative boards, but turns out
    many other forums (several French and German boards)
    got ppl complaining about this problem.
    Also the 24-bit Li've! card seems to have issues with TR:Legend so that makes me think
    the drivers are inadequate since both of these cards share same drivers.
    AC97 works for now, but changing back and forth between audigy card and
    on-board AC97 is quite tedious process to do just to play this one game.
    Dear Creative team,
    please respond and introduce a fix to this problem.Message Edited by Anvirol on 04-07-2006 07:06 PM

    Squeal Of Death does occur in Tomb Raider Legend. I've finished the game and it happened to me 3 times forcing me to reboot the computer. It even occured while I was in the menu.
    But this is not uncommon for my computer though. I used to have many probs with my audigy2 zs while playing games like wow, mohpa and especially bf2.
    The point is Squeal of death DOES occur to X-Fi models also, which I currently own after selling my audigy2 zs. Bf2 doesn't lock up anymore (at least for now) and I thought that the problem was gone until I played Tomb Raider Legend.
    So if u ask me creative cards are to blame for the prob but only partly though. The squeal and lock up of the pc used to occur more often when I had audigy2 zs. Now it only occurs in TR Legend-for the time being. And of course bf giving away my old card I had tried all possible sollutions.
    My specs are
    Athlon64 3000+
    MSI K8N2 Platinum
    2*52 Kingston value Ram
    2*80GB Seagate Raid 0
    Creative XFi Extreme Music
    2 Optical Dri'ves
    Modem
    Nothing is o/c and all pci slots are taken-no conflicts.Message Edited by forwardS on 04-5-2006 07:02 AM

  • Problems with the Neo4 Platnium/SLI Mobo

    Hey all,
    Well I just got my mobo up and running today and I have a few questions.
    1st. Why is my PCI-E only at x8 ? I have a 6600GT and I know it supports x16?!
    2nd. Why every time I boot into windows, it tells me it found new ide controllers but when it tries to install it gives me errors. I try to install drivers from cd but I get the same error, I download drivers from their website but same problem. It only started happening after I installed the latest bios v3.7. I use the ide stuff for my cd rom
    3rd. I read that is bad for memeory to run in 2T. When my system boots up it says something along the lines of Dual Channel 400 2T. I read that it should run in 1T but I have no idea where to change it. I have OCZ Premier Series ram (2x512)
    That is all for now. Any help would be great.

  • P965 Neo issues with firmware 1.5

    Hey peeps,
    I flashed my P965 Neo from 1.2 to v1.5 yesterday. Great stuff! Resolved my boot-up issues and memory troubles! 
    It seemed like the end of my troubles, untill I noticed my RAID disk was missing. I have a Promise SX4-M RAID 5 controller installed, but it isn't showing up during the boot procedure anymore. In my Windows XP the disk is missing as well. The strange part is that my drivers install properly and I can manage my RAID using the Promise Array Managment tool. This way I can verify the RAID card and HD's are working fine.
    Can someone explain this to me pls? Thanks.

    I think you're mixing my case with another one. I'm not trying to boot from RAID.
    Let's recap:
    I assembled my system with BIOS version 1.2 installed. This gave my problems with my memory (compatibility issue) so my comp crashed regularly. Also I had a booting problem with my primary hard disk (not RAID). I had to have the Windows XP CD in de CD-ROM or it wouldn't boot from my hard disk. These issues were all resolved by flashing to BIOS 1.5
    My current problem is that since the flash to BIOS 1.5 I cannot access my RAID array. During start-up it isn't displayed anymore witch it always did using various previous mobo's and the current mobo running BIOS 1.2 Once Windows starts I can install de drivers of the 'Promise FastTrak S150 SX-4M' RAID card and it is recognized in my system devices. I can also manage the RAID card with the Promise Array Management software that came with the card. I can't however, communicate with the disks attached. When I look at the log of the mangement it shows me read errors on random disks.
    What I tried to do to locate and fix the problem:
    - Install the RAID in another PC -> It works fine
    - Tried playing with different BIOS settings -> didn't work
    - Change the slot on the mobo -> didn't work
    - Searched for IRQ or DMA conflicts -> found nothing
    - Installed my OS with RAID drivers during installation -> didn't work
    - Installed my OS with RAID drivers after OS install was complete -> didn't work
    - Installed different versions of mobo chipset drivers -> didn't work
    - Relayed the problem to Promise -> told me the error codes indicate a read error
    - Relayed the problem to MSI customer service -> got config suggestion and advice to go back to BIOS 1.2
    - Tried changing the 'option boot ROM' like MSI suggested -> didn't work
    - Tried contacting MSI about it again -> no replies
    - Trying to wait for new update -> doesn't seem to work...
    I can't go back to BIOS 1.2 bacause then my system starts crashing again and I'm stuck with my Win XP CD in the drive the whole time. So as a last resort I turn to you guys to pass this plea through to someone within MSI that can actually help. I've been waiting several weeks on anything indicating that this problem is being handled properly and I'm getting impatient now. 

  • P7N SLI Platinum - SATA Boot RAID issue

    Hello Folks... I posted this issue on another thread (but, with different subject) as a follow up issue. I figured it might be better if this issue has it's own thread.. so, here it goes
    Now, this is an upgrade for me.... from my previous MOBO. My boot drive in the old MOBO was RAIDed (RAID 0). Both old and new MOBO have nVidia RAID.. do, I don't think there is any compatibility issue here and the new MOBO detects the old RAID with  no issues too.
    So, now, I will have to RAID my drives again and run Win XP repair. I was able to RAID my drives and all good... now, I went into Windows installation and did F6 to install NVIDIA Raid.... but, here is my problem, when the prompt asks me to input the floppy drive, and when I did it.... it re-prompts me to put the floppy drive again... I see that the floppy drive is read... but, for some reason it doesn't detect the files in there properly....  I downloaded nVidia C72+MCP55 SATA RAID / AHCI Driver (For floppy driver) for windows xp 32-bit and copied the sataraid folder contents into the floppy. For some reason the files are not detected at all...
    Anybody experienced this problem? what could be the problem here?

    well, nvidia web do not have drivers for F6 floppy install.. I have used multiple floppies as well, they all read fine on another PC.. but just during the process of F6 on my upgrade PC it doesn't get read. Any other tips please?????
    Try with another floppy, seems your isn't works properly.

    Memory: 8GB installed memory
    Hard drive: 750GB 5400RPM hard drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection

    Running on the exact specs above, I'm playing games via Steam (Tomb Raider, Saints Row IV, Dishonored, etc) and have had to compromise video/display quality settings  just to get the games to play correctly. Most games have an auto-detect feature for display and audio settings and in each instance the games are set to Ultra or High settings. But when I begin to the play the games with the default settings that games are extremely slow, though the graphics look great. 
    Given the specs above and the fact that the games auto detect at the highest or near to the highest settings, might I have an issue with my current system settings that I could tweak in order to get a higher quality gaming experience? I feel like these settings are definitely good enough to get at least HIGH display quality, but that has yet to work. 

    Hi @trickster878 
    I understand you are having performance issues with games on your notebook computer, but really notebook computers for the most part are not intended to be gaming machines. Their design focus is more to be light weight and portable while also providing the ability to run for two hours or more without a power connection when fully charged.
    Many of the things that make for a good gaming machine are sacrificed in a notebook. All that being said, it is possible to play many games on notebooks, but rarely as well as it would work on a desktop computer.
    It is likely that you can tweak the settings to get a compromise that is more playable, but it is often a robbing Peter to pay Paul situation. Something may have to be sacrificed.
    You can take a look at these pages and see if anything helps.
    Computer Locks Up or Freezes When Playing a Game
    HP PCs - Improving System Performance without Adding Memory (Windows 8)
    Otherwise, you would probably need to look at the video settings in each of the games you are trying to play. The settings will need to be customized for each of them, and you may have to look at the pages/forums for the individual game to see which setting may have to be changed internal to that game.

  • Unable to log into iMessage and intermittent issues with FaceTime

    Late 2011 MacBook Pro, OS X 10.8.4.  I'm an admin level Windows guy but a relatively new (and otherwise very pleased) convert to Mac OS.
    This morning Messages started repeatedly prompting me for my iMessage password and FaceTime has starting working only intermittently.  Both work fine from my iPad and iPhone 5.  Both have been working from my MacBook Pro for months.
    This morning when I tried to fire up Messages on the MacBook I got an error saying "The server encountered an error processing registration".  After doing some Googling, I noticed that many folks said that when they had this problem they also had an issue with FaceTime.  I confirmed that FaceTime was indeed giving me the same error as iMessage. After trying some solutions from past threads that didn't work, I rebooted.  Now instead of throwing an error, Messages just keeps asking me for my iMessage password again and again.  FaceTime works occasionally but sometimes when I get a call and click answer, I get "call failed" as my iPhone and iPad continue to ring and then I'm asked to re-enter my password on the MacBook.  If I enter my password it just sits and spins.  If i quit FaceTime and start it again, it'll usually log in successfully but calls may or may not work (following the same pattern I just mentioned).
    The odd thing to me is that when I tested FaceTime on my iPad, I got notifications on my iPad and iPhone and my primary and alternate email address were now registered with FaceTime.  They have been for over a year so I'm not sure why I'm getting those notifications again.
    I'm able to log into the Mac App store without a problem using the same AppleID
    What I've tried so far based on Google results:
    1. In Keychain Access, reset my default keychain - No improvement
    2. In Keychain Access, selected Keychain First Aid, repaired and verified - No improvement
    3. On my iPad, turned iMessage off and back on - No improvement, though iMessage on the iPad still works fine
    4. Confirmed that my primary and secondary AppleID email addresses and password are correct.  The email address associated with my AppleID is not associated with any other AppleIDs.
    Thanks!

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
    Step 1
    Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
    Step 2
    Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
    Step 3
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or obviously invalid, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
    Step 4
    Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
    Step 5
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
    The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
    Step 6
    Select from the menu bar
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
    and click
    Block all sites from storing information on this computer
    Close the preference pane.
    Step 7
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
    Step 8
    Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
    If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
    Step 9
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Step 10
    Reinstall OS X.
    Step 11
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

    I read that this line in my case
    [ 1.115441] ACPI Warning: SystemIO range 0x000000000000F000-0x000000000000F01F conflicts with OpRegion 0x000000000000F000-0x000000000000F00F (\_SB_.PCI0.SBUS.SMBI) (20150204/utaddress-254)
    is a bug and unfixable.
    What does that mean and why is it "unfixable"? Is that some hardware that is not compatible with Arch at all?

  • Performance issues with Imac intel 2011 27 inch..

    I have an 2011 imac 3,4 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM.
    Since a few months i noticed performance issues with FCPX, where before it would run through video it shows sometimes the color ball. Now the computer is slow in starting up and shutting down also. Ran disk utility but to no avail. I am now considering reinstalling mavericks.
    But I ran etrecheck.
    here are the results, please who can help me? I use this computer to edit and about everything else.

  • Anyone else having an issue with TCP connections using iCloud for Windows?

    Hi,
    Before I asked this question, I did wait to see if any related questions came up, but none did, so I submit it now.
    On my admittedly older laptop running Windows 7 64b Home, I've run into difficulties with the iCloud for Windows app to the extent that I had to uninstall it.
    It would that, as my laptop was running, in the background, iCloudServices.exe would endlessly iterate TCP connections, which, while not actively sending or receiving any data, after some hours would number over 100 instances, taking up resources, and grinding my laptop's WiFi connection to a grindingly slow pace. I ended up, within the app, turning off everything, iCloud Drive and Photos, (I never used bookmarks), but still this would continue to occur.
    I contacted Apple Support, explaining what was going on, and they stated they only dealt with IOS and gave me a Microsoft Support number. When I called Microsoft support, I came more and more to the realization that the issue was specifically with the iCloud for Windows app, as that was the only software that was endlessly creating and not closing TCP connections as it was. How was Microsoft supposed to solve an issue with Apple code?
    So I called Apple back, whereupon they insisted it was a Microsoft issue. I explained other cloud services installed on the same computer were not having the same issue, it was unique to ICloudServices.exe. They stated they only dealt with IOS. I stated I purchased an iPad Air less than 7 months ago, and was trying to run iCloud in support of that.  They again stated they only dealt with IOS, and suggested I again try Microsoft. I asked them if it was reasonable to expect Microsoft to solve issues with Apple code? They said regardless, there was zero support offered for anything having to do with Windows, and all I could do was uninstall the app, which I did, though that did not feel very satisfactory to me. My thinking is, if Apple writes a Windows app in support of their hardware, they should offer support for it.
    Anyway, I was just wondering, is this an issue unique to me? or have others experienced a similar issue? I found this issue by opening the Windows Resource Monitor, looking under the Networking tab, and scrolling through the TCP Connections section to find 100+ concurrent iCloudServices.exe instances listed, whereas even Chrome, with multiple tabs and extensions, topped out at around 20.
    My one month old Desktop, DYI, sports a solid Asus 1150 MoBo, i7-4790k cpu, 16GB Ram, and an EVGA GTX 970 video card. I list some specs only to illustrate this computer has no hardware issues in comparison to my long in tooth laptop. On this desktop, running Win 8.1 Pro 64b,  at least as many, identifiably Apple, background service TCP connections are created even compared to Chrome, regardless of many tabs being open, many extensions, and even some related apps. Adobe does not even come close, though I run the full CC subscription. On this new computer, running Windows 8.1 Pro 64b, there are currently over 50 TCP connections and loopbacks that do not identify themselves, with just a - for the Image, and PID. With the experience on my laptop, I wonder how many of these are generated by Apple software, if not specifically iCloud software?
    The frustrating aspect of these connections is they seem in no way active, While the Chrome and Adobe connections can be seen to be transferring data, as long as I am not running iTunes, or so have my iPad actually plugged in, it seems 99% of the time these iCloudServices.exe connections are just taking up ports, neither sending nor receiving any data discernable to me under the Processes with Network Activity, or Network Activity lists, both displayed in the same window as the TCP Connections in the Windows Resource Monitor.
    Though I am fairly ignorant as regards coding, it seems as if there is no call to close a connection, very specifically, iCloudServices.exe, when it is no longer needed, and the next time a connection is needed, a new one is opened, rather than accessing the one previously opened. The only other reason I could imagine this might be occurring is if my Norton Internet Security software might mask and/or block the port after a certain time of inactivity.
    Anyone out there have any ideas or advice about this? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks jared,
    I'm still dealing with this issue through Apple. Some time after I posted this, I contacted Apple again. They did start a case up for me, as I was experiencing the same behavior on two different machines, with two different versions of Windows.
    So far it remains unsolved. I've logged iClouds for Windows on my desktop, which is brand new, then logged for awhile after completely uninstalling Norton Security Suite, depending on the Microsoft security for some time, and finally logged after I uninstalled iCloud for Windows, restarted, installed a clean download, and connected using a completely different test account, which Apple set up for me. None of this made any difference. Looking at the logs, it seems every 10 minutes, iCloudServices.exe creates a new TCP connection to confirm I'm using less than 5GB on iCloud, (which I am by a good margin, using less than 2GB), it seems this connection is not closed, and when the next iteration rolls around 10 minutes later, a new TCP connection is created. I come very close to having 6 TCP connections created per hour, until I restart my computer. This works out to... 6 x 24 = 144/day.
    Perhaps the article you posted will shed some further light on this. I'm thinking seeing the state of the connection through netstats, at the least, could help.
    For the last week, I've been putting a hold on further logging, as Apple wants me to create a new user account on one of my computers, install iCloud for Windows there, and log it running in the other account. This however basically means I cannot use my computer for a fair number of hours, and I've been busy enough with work the past week that I haven't the time or energy to afford to set this up and run it. I've had need of my computers too much for the past week.
