Re-boot cycle with new opty 175?

Iv already posted in this thread https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=101539.40 but its been a couple of weeks since anyone has made a post so thought I would repost here, sorry if this is wrong way to do it.
I installed my new Opty 175, It recognised OK in my system. ACPI MultiProcessor PC with both cores reported under CPU in Device manager, Task Manager showing 2 graphs for both cores, all looks good so far.
Installed the MS Hotfix (never done the PerfEnablePackageIdle registry edit, is this maybe a problem?) then the AMD Optimiser, everything still looking good.

install Dual Core HotFix V4 --> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103843.0
reboot.
install Dual Core Optimizer --> http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/utilities/Setup.exe
reboot, re-test. (check it from device manager:
This is the order I installed the fixes, as per BOSSMANS instructions.
I cant see the MS hotfix KB896256 in ADD/REMOVE programs??
AMD fix is there though.
My Problem is the same as mremulator's described in this thread https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=101922.0

No No No, the dual core optimiser and MS Hotfix are NOT compatible.
I made the mistake of installing the two and Windows XP would reboot at desktop. AMD have confirmed this.
I have the desktop reboot problem, though not all the time. Seems to be when I've been in the BIOS (no changes made) or recently I ran Memtest for 16 passes (no errors) and rebooted to the reboot cycle again.
I was thinking of just doing a re-install but after reading the above thread it looks like I will have the same problem after installing both dual core fixes?
I have a Ghost Image of my upgrade before the Dual Core fixes where installed and was thinking of going back to this to try again to fix the reboot cycle problem, will this be a good Idea?
Also, any ideas as to whay the MS Hotfix doesnt show in ADD/REMOVE programs? (show updates is ticked)
Can someone please give me a clear route to Installing the fixes (if they are applicable), and if the registry edit for the MS Hotfix is needed???
Any help is much appreciated
g2k.

Right, I've been at this for nearly 4 hours now.
I've done all below and this is MY findings:
1. Restored my Ghost image (which was made prior to installing any fixes, just the CPU installed)
2. Installed the "AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (x86 and x64 exe) 1.3.2.16" software.
3. Installed the MS Hotfix KB896256, then done testing with the reg files supplied by BOSSKILLER, plus the boot.ini edit (with both "/NoExecute=OptIn"
and "/EXECUTE", absolutely no difference with either).
Done a few reboots, messing around in BIOS, just looking - no changes. All fine when booting up. Happy with that I chose the enable reg entry and saved this as my default.
4. Installed AMD Optimiser, reboot straight to windows = OK
reboot to BIOS and mess around looking at the settings (no changes), reboot and when windows loads - instant reboot and back into my reboot cycle!
continued to mess around rebooting and into BIOS and finaly had to F8 to load the "Last good config that worked" on the list.
5. Uninstalled AMD Optimiser, repeated all the rebooting and BIOS messing around, I CANT get the system to get the reboot cycle error at all now
My conclusion is - dont install the AMD Optimiser! Also I agree with mremulator in this thread: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=101922.0
Im using only the MS hotfix with the enabled reg key and its fine like that, installing the AMD one made absolutely no difference for me apart from the reboot problem.
I understand people dont have this problem running both fixes, just thought I would post my findings incase anyone else ran into similar problem as me.
@ BOSSKILLER
can you tell me what the difference is between the BOOT.INI edits " "/NoExecute=OptIn" and /EXECUTE" please??
Also, many thnx for all your help
nice one

Driver issue FIXED in Vista / boot camp with new, unibody macbook pro!!

Hay people, I found a fix for the freezing issues with Vista running in Boot camp with the new, unibody Macbook pros. The driver for the 9600M Gt is no good if you install it from the Apple 2.1 version driver disc (Mac osx disc)for some (most) of us.
I needed to go to Nvidia's site and download the one from DECEMBER 08. If you click the "download drivers" tab on the site, scroll past the current driver it wants you to look at (go to the near bottom of page), click the archives, and input your OS version. Also input "Gforce" and "M" series when needed. It will give you a choice of two drivers. DO NOT CHOOSE THE FEB 09 Driver. Thats the BAD driver for most of us. Choose the DECEMBER 08 driver. Download and enjoy. Be sure to roll back the VGA driver (or the current driver) first before you install this. It should work.
I've been through the ringer with this for weeks now and have even tried to take my MBP back to swap for a new one. Apple wont have any of that so I thought I was SOL. Not quite. This DOES work for me with Vista. It also works for Windows & if you have it handy.
By the way, I am posting this for people who HAVE HAD THE FREEZING problems, not for people who haven't. Apparently there are some out there who are running Vista just fine on their unibody MBS's. Most of us are not.
Cheer's-----Seattle, where the evil empire looms dark

This never worked. I sold that machine and got a new 17" unibody. IT, by the way, works just fine. I KNEW it was that **** 15'. It took 30 more seconds to boot up I found out also.

'No Entry Sign' on Macbook Boot-up with new SSD

Hi Everyone,
I'm a first time poster looking for some help.
I recently installed a new SSD (Samsung 830 128GB 2.5") in my white Macbook (2,1).
After buying the SSD I did a clean install of Mac OS X Mountain Lion, however, due to not having a physical disc, I performed the install using my iMac, the Mountain Lion DMG, and the new SSD in an enclosure. The install seemed to go fine and my iMac will boot up from the SSD with no problems, but when I try to put the SSD in the Macbook, I get a 'No Entry' sign and no sign of life.
I have tried putting the SSD in an enclosure and tried to boot it with the Macbook by holding 'Option' to choose my start-up disk. When I do this, it reads both the 'Macintosh HD' and the 'Recovery HD' but when I click on either option to boot, it shows the 'No Entry' sign. Is there anyone who could suggest anything - any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mr Flollop

I have now managed to get Mountain Lion working on my Macbook - even though as Mike has correctly pointed out, it is not in the system requirements.
I believe the problem lay with installing Lion on the SSD via a different machine than the one the SSD was meant for - though this should not have been the case.
I ended up installing the SSD in the Macbook and booting Mountain Lion install from a USB stick - it worked and Mountain Lion is running well on my machine.

Using External Boot Drive with New Intel Mac Mini

I have a 1st Gen MacMini and use an external 7200 RPM Lacie drive as the system boot drive along with all the applications.
If I were to purchase a new Intel Mac Mini, is it possible to use the current external drive as the system drive or is there some conversion steps that would be necessary ?
Thank you.

You can use the hardware, but will have to repartition and reinstall the OS from the disk shipped with the new Mac Mini.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303220
If you create a disk image of the Lacie on your Mini, you can later use setup assistant to restore users and applications from that image.

My late 2012 mac mini boots slow with new ssd drive

So here is the situation. I purchased a 128gb ssd drive, installed it a usb enclosure, formatted it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), cloned it with carbon copy cloner 3, used the option key during boot up and selected the ssd drive and it booted my mac mini and it functioned perfectly. I than tested it for dozens of reboots and it worked fine. I then took apart my mac mini and removed the original hard drive and installed the new ssd drive. When I boot to the ssd drive it still takes 47 to 53 seconds just like the old drive. Aren't ssd drives supposed to be a lot faster?
My solution or tip is as follows; The reason it takes so long to boot is because the mac mini doesn't know you replaced the old drive and it is looking for it during the boot process. Finally it can't find the drive so it boots to the ssd drive. All you have to do to correct this is click on "system preferences", select and click on "startup disk" and select your ssd drive and click on "restart". After these steps your mac mini will now boot in about 17 seconds. Issues solved.

Yes, my solution fixed the issue. I went from a 47 to 53 second boot time to a 17 second boot time. The ssd drive is significantly faster than the original drive that came with my late 2012 mac-mini. This is my first post and I wasn't sure how to post this as a tip. I have another tip regarding usb 3.0 hubs.

Boot problem with new HD

I have just bought a new HD (WD 120GB SE, ATA100, 8MB CACHE) for my PC. My old HD was a Quantum Fireball Plus AS 20.5GB. I had in mind to remove the old one and copy the 2 partitions from the old one to the new (3 Partitions made by Partition Magic). I used the Norton Ghost 9 to copy the partitions with the "copy one drive to another' option, also select the one partition to be "active" so it can boot the OS and copy the "master boot records" from the old HD. When i restart the PC with the new HD as master after the "veryfing DMI pool data" i should see the windows logo with the loading bar, but the only thing i get is under the "veryfing DMI pool data" the message "error loading operating system"! ! ! The same thing happens if i copy the partition (with the OS) to a dvd again with Norton Ghost and try to recover it. And the strangest thing is that i have the same problem if i try to install (clean) windows to the HD, it copies some files to the HD and when it restarts so it can continue installing windows shows the same message. I have download a diagnostic program from WD and there is no problem with the HD. I have taken the HD to a friend of mine and it works fine. I forgot to mention that both bios and windows detect the HD. When i use the HD as slave, i can copy/cut files/folders with no problem in windows. I have the latest ver. of bios and nForce drivers. PLEASE HELP ME! ! !!
P.S. Sorry for my english. . .

If you use Ghost to copy from one disk to another and the geometry is different, it can happen that the result is not readable.
Simple way: plug disk as slave. Boot on the 20GB drive. Partition the new drive in windows. Copy the files.in windows. Activate the new partition as primary and bootable. Swap drives.

Boot Problem with new SSD Drive on CQ60-409SA

I have just replaced my HDD with a new Sandisk 120GB Extreme 11 SSD.
All went OK with no problems installing Win 7 Ultimate and much faster search time, etc..
The problem I have is that when I boot the laptop from cold, i.e switch it on for use, the SSD is not recognised and I just get a Black screen with Flashing cursor top left corner, but if I then press Control-Alt-Delete, the system Reboots, and then boots into windows no problem.
I am trying to find out if I can Access BIOS Advanced Options, if I press F10 during boot I only get Options like Change Boot order, and not more Advanced Option to change Drive parameters, etc... and F2 does not run Diagnostics for SDD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am very pleased with the performance increase the SSD drive gives to Windows and Boot itme except for having to boot twice.
Best regards,
This question was solved.

No worries.
What year model is your notebook?
About your request for the Advanced options, unfortunately that is not possible with a BIOS supplied by HP.
You can, if you don't mind taking the risk, go to a BIOS Mod forum and look for a modified BIOS for your notebook there. The modified BIOS will have advanced options.
Have you tried the Solution and Update finder on the Support download drivers page for your notebook? It says that it will find missing drivers.

Pavilion P6-2326s Power cycling with new graphics card

Hi, I just got a Pavilion P6-2326s from a friend that didn't want it anymore because it was broken. I know a little about PCs so I thought i could fix it and have a spare. It would fire up and run but no video. I figured onboard video was dead and ordered a new cheap video card(EVGA GT610 1GB). I installed it and and no go. the pc just cycles through starting for 3-4 seconds, stops, starts again for few seconds and goes again. It will keep doing this forever or until I hold in power button to shut down. I thought maybe vid card was drawing too much juice, so I removed power supply and put in a known good, 550 watt that I have. Same deal with the start, stop sequence. Tried removing, replcing battery to refresh CMOS in BIOS. Same result with start, stop sequence. Is it safe to assume that Motherboard is probable fried? One othe note, when I got the PC and opened it up, it was the dirtiest PC I have ever seen. It was really caked up with dust and webs. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance

You would definitely need to remove the add on video card in order to change the BIOS settings, but if you don't have any video with the video card removed, then you still can't see the BIOS settings, and you are pretty much out of luck.
You would probably be throwing good money after bad unless you can find the same motherboard on eBay in used but tested and working condition at a very reasonable price.
Here are listings of the motherboard your model uses. They may be from different model PC's however that use the same motherboard and again, you may not be able to use W8 because if some of those motherboards came from models with W7, there won't be a W8 product key in the BIOS.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XH-Joshua-H61-uATX+...
Then there might be a problem with getting Windows 8 reactivated since the motherboard was changed even if you do manage to find one that came from a PC with W8.
If it were me...This would be a case where I would strip it for parts, and toss the rest of it out.

No boot disc with new iMac

Goodafternoon,
I bought an iMac 21.5 last week and when I opened the box there was boot up disc anywhere to be found.
When I bought my first iMac it came with, I believe 4, boot discs.
Where can I obtain one in case of a crash or problem of some sort?
Regards,
Marc.

NB200-10Z - No SD card boot option with new BIOS

First with BIOS version 1.60 could be done boot with the SD cards
Instead since I updated the BIOS to version 1.70 There is no longer the option.
why?

Hi
Are you sure that SD boot option isnt available anymore?
Did you load the default settings after update?
I cant imagine that Toshiba has removed this feature
As I wrote, try the default settings and other SD card. Then you can post here again what happens.

MSI Z77 GD55 endless boot cycle with 32GB of RAM

Got a Ivy Bridge GD55 with a 3770K and 32GB of G.Skill 1866mhz Sniper RAM - whenever I use more than two sticks at a time, or outside of the 2 and 4 slots my computer refuses to boot up - it powers on, fans whirl for a couple seconds and then the machine resets. All four sticks will boot properly if they're placed in the 2 and 4 slot, but once I add the other two the system refuses to boot up, doesn't even get to POST before restarting itself.

Slow Boot problem with New K8N Neo4 Platinum HELP

Hello,
I just set up my new rig, the system specs are..
amd64 3500+
K8N Neo4 Platinum PCI-E (non SLI)
2x80gb SATA (insockets 5 and 6) Silicon
2x512 ram generic
BFG 6800 Ultra OC
antec 550 truepower
The entire install went well.. It zipped through windows98... But when it tired to Boot windows98.. it went really really slow.. The animation bar at the bottom was chugging.. like lagging.. and took well over 10 minutes to fully load..
I check RAM was not it.. re-connected.. was not it.. new SATA cables.. no idea any help would do.. getting impatient and tired =O must get it up tonight!

Don't know if you or many people have seen this it's appeared over the last few days K8N Neo4 Platinum - NOTE: NVIDIA nForce 3/4 Series board DO NOT support Windows® 98/ME
There are people running 98 but my own understanding was that 98 could only use a sata drive as a data drive & could not be installed on a sata drive. Where have you installed it ???
see Win 98SE IDE problem.... Has anyone worked it out yet?

Anyone having problems installing Boot Camp with New Mac Pro 2.8?

I just get blank screen after it restarts with XP disk. I'm using a vga - dvi adapter with a apple 17" display..
I've phoned apple and read up on here but nobody seems to know. I just wondered whether my 2008 Mac Pro was faulty...
Please can you help?
cheers

Are you getting a white screen after the Mac reboots? If so, try disconnecting all non-essential USB/FW devices.
I had the exact same problem and I went through a long, stressful process of elimination to get it working, even to the extent of using my MacBook as an external drive through target disk mode!
It turned out to be my iMage USB camera. Even after successfully installing Windows I have to disconnect it before using Bootcamp.
I Hope this helps.

Boot Issue with New Radeon X800 XL on DVI connection

I've just bought a connect 3d radeon x800 xl and installed it in my machine. I had a radeon 9700 pro die on me 2 weeks ago and I'd reverted back to a Gainward ti4200 in the meantime - both of which I had running on exactly the same specs, the latter through the dvi connection.
However, when I turn the machine on the machine starts to go through it's POST routine and then it somehow 'loses' the display, before it finishes searching through the sata raid arrays and before I can get into the bios setup pages.
Strangely enough, the POST routine runs fine if it's connected to the bog standard vga connection.
I did think it might be the power supply considering all the other posts on the forum and although it's not the best brand in the world, it still delivers 20 amps at 12v. Anyone any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance
Specs:
MSI K8T NEO FIS2R (bios v1.9)
s754 Athlon 3000+
2 x 512mb DDR400 major branded memory (samsung I think)
Western Digital 200gb SATA hard drive
MSI Combo DVD/CD-Writer
CWT 450w PSU (12v: 20a, 5v: 20a, 3.3v: 28a)

The DVI-I port on the 5770 and other advanced cards like it has the VGA signals directly accessible with a very simple adapter. The blade at the end of the connector and the four pins around it, plus Horizontal Sync from the top row of the grid are EXACTLY VGA, no translation required.
Converting Mini DisplayPort to VGA is one of the most complex conversions possible, and if you are having trouble with that conversion, and pushing the resolution up, I am not at all surprised.
If your DVI display is not wider that 1920 wide, I suggest you use it on a Mini DisplayPort, with a simple adapter that forces the Mini DisplayPort into "Single-Link DVI compatibility mode". As long as you do not plan to run Three displays, this solution will work with an inexpensive adapter.

No SD autoboot with newer u-boot

I'm trying to move to a newer version of u-boot (along with newer versions of other tools), and I can't get it to autoboot Linux from my SD card. This worked with a u-boot labeled 2013.04, but seems to fail with more recent stock releases from http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/Zynq+Releases
When I use the env print command, I see that the bootdelay parameter is set to -1, disabling autoboot. When I try to build my own u-boot, the parameter appears to be set to 3 (in include/configs/zynq-common.h), but it comes out as -1 when I boot it. I think I have the switches configured correctly to boot off the SD card, since this works with some older files I've got.
What am I missing?

Thanks, that was the problem.
Example of boot that worked, because it failed to find the SPI flash:
