Really weird voltage problem with K8N Platinum

Lately I have been having a really odd voltage issue, im running at 1.6vcore but when i boot up sometimes, on MBM5, AIDA32 it will say its at 3.12v?! I know this is obviously incorrect but when I reboot or turn off my PC and unplug the power cord, then plug it back in it will come back on with normal readings (1.6v).
Is this the BIOS doing this or something else? I'm using CNQ off if that makes any differnece, and im also using the nforce 4.27 drivers and the latest athlon 64 cpu driver from the AMD site.
specs are in my sig
thanks

doh!

Problem with K8N Platinum Plus

Greetings all,
I am an veteran builder and am having a strange behavior that I need some help with. Here is some background on parts:
MSI K8N Platinum Plus
2 x 1GB OCZ PC-3200 (OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K)
600W OCZ supply
X2 4400+
(2) eVGA 7900GT's
(I can give more specs if necessary)
Problem:
The board posts and I can interate just fine up until the OS boots... I just partition copied my previous Windows XP SP2 installation from my old HDD to the new one. I knew that XP would rescan hardware and I had a 50/50 chance of not having to reinstall. Each time I boot the box and let XP load it gets to the "starting up" and does nothing... goes no where, yet the keyboard is not locked up (CAPS lock turns on and off still). I left it running for about an hour, just hoping... nope. Ok, so fresh install, whatever... XP disc starts up and just as it goes to flip over to start the installer the monitor goes black! Nothing, CDROM spins down and nothing EVER happens. I tried flashing the beta (NOT what I would normally do) bios, but nothing changed. I tried other memory, no change. I pulled one of my video cards (no more SLI), no change... pulled the sound card, no change... Wierdest thing is that is both cases (booting old XP and trying to install new) the machine is not locked up.
Ideas?

Jason,
There are people that do not like multiple RAILs on PSUs for supplying high power systems. Personally I think that a high end Power Supply with multiple RAILs will work but the lower end PSUs with multiple RAILs will not supply the needed juice.
Multiple RAIL PSUs are a new technology and with all new technologies there are going to be teething problems. It is to be expected.
I was trying to figure out why your old comp stopped working too.
On the new comp, lets try Bare Bones for the install of your OS. I would like CPU with heatsink/fan, 1 Vid Card, 1 stick of RAM at 3.4.4.8 Timing with the Voltage bumped up one notch, 1 HD and if you are using RAID 0 - then 1 Array, 1 Optical Drive, no PCI Cards, Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor. Lets see how far you get though a fresh install.
Take Care,
Richard
I will try this tonight... last night I tried something VERY close to what you are suggesting, the only difference is that I am not sure that I used 3.4.4.8 on timings... I just used whatever the default timings on the DIMMs are, which should be 2.3.2.5. I only have one HDD, 1 Video card, DVDRW, floppy, CPU, memory (1 green, 1 purple -- is this right?) and that did not work either with DVI connect or using VGA through DVI adapter. I did see that someone else was having some Video cracking using a DVI connector... wondering if mine is somehow related to that problem... although, I get NO video (past POST) and he does.
As far as the multi-rail thing... well, if the PSU is on the "A" list of DFI's and nVidia gives it a "SLi certified" then I would think that it would be just fine. Is my power supply fine or not?

Really weird sound problem with rhythmbox[SOLVED]

Well, I can't find anything on this, so i'm posting it here. I have no sound problems with alsa or other gstreamer apps(totem, banshee plays sound just fine). But when I try to play something in rhythmbox it just does not work. Mostly there is no sound, but every couple of seconds you can hear a distorted sound that is suposed to be playing for a moment. Rhythmbox does not issue any warnings or errors when launched from terminal. Is this some kind of bug?

I had the same problem, but it disappeared yesterday. Try it run under root - it helped me. I dont really know how i fixed it, but it works under normal user now as well ...I hope there will be someone who knows.

USB problem with K8N Platinum BIOS 1.C

I was running the beta BIOS 1.CA to fix a problem with one of my CPU cores not being detected on a warm boot and it worked great.
When I noticed the official release BIOS 1.C I upgraded but I noticed problems with my USB mouse and keyboard sticking occasionally, the keyboard sometimes needed two or three presses to type and I was losing mouse clicks, gone back to the beta 1.CA BIOS and everything is fine again.
Anyone else noticed this with 1.C BIOS?

Yes, I've gone back to the beta BIOS now and everything's fine
I only upgraded to the release version because usually releases are more stable than betas, obviously in this case the reverse is true

DVD-RW problems with K8N Platinum

Really weird WiFi problem with original iPad, please help!!!

Hey everyone so I recently inherited an original iPad from my uncle who stopped using it because of WiFi issues. Unfortunately he didn't do much to try to figure out the problem and there's no warranty on it but I'd really like to fix it!
The problem is that it doesn't display nearly any available networks under the WiFi settings, but it DOES seem to show and connect to unsecured networks (and works really well...I'm in a hotel typing on it right now). But at home, in the hotel room, at my uncles place, etc...no networks show up. Also I can't connect to them if I enter manually.
So far I've tried a hard reset, fully restoring, resetting network settings, and resetting all settings...I would take it to Apple but there's no warranty
Any ideas of how I can fix this potentially?
Thanks!

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Really weird keyboard problem with my macbook.

Hi Everyone,
I've been having an unexplainable keyboard problem all day now. The keyboard on my Macbook is unresponsive, and the trackpad is stuck on right click. BUT when I plug in a USB keyboard, both my macbook keyboard and my trackpad work after I restart. They continue to work for a little while, but a couple minutes after I unplug the USB keyboard, the both stop working again. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. Is there anyone out there that has any experience with something like this?
Thanks!

If cleaning your keyboard does not help, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Boot Problem with K8n Neo 2 Platinum

I cant get my Computer to load the bios
Sometimes when I restart my computer it will lock up in the Bios Sign on and the only way to get it to boot through is to keep resetting the computer and turning the power off and on. It does this on a random basis, Ive also had problems with it locking up if the dynamic oc is turned on.
Has anybody heard of this happening or know how to fix it?

Corsair memory is known to be troublesome with AMD64.
Nevertheless, if everything is set correctly, it'll work. I've been running the LLPRO 3200 1GB kit at 220MHz without any noticable problems. Run a couple of rounds with Memtest86+ to verify memory functionality.
Can you please give your specifications on the power supply unit (PSU), especially the amperage on the +12 volt rail.

Problem with K8N Neo 4 Platinum

Hi I am new on this forum.
I have problem with proper configuration of the BIOS in K8N Neo 4 Platinum. My processor is Athlon 64 3000. It has 1800 clock. My BIOS makes default 200MHz x 5. It makes 1000 MHz clock. Will it be good if I change at 200 x 9?
Other thing: I tried to change at 200 x 9 but in Windows (2000) is still 200 x 5 (acc. to Core Cell). When I chanded on 200 x 7,5 all in Windows was ok. Core Cell showed 200 x 7,5. How I may resolve this problem?

I have my memory in green slots. Does dual channel works in this case?
- No Green = Channel A, Purple =Chanel B use Green nearest cpu & adjacent purple slot.

HT freq. 5x
That's your HT multiplier as mentioned by Some1ne not the Adjust CPU Ratio which is the CPU multiplier.
Your CPU is running at the correct speed.
DDR Clock: 167 MHz s/be 200 - this should chnge when memory is in right slots.
Change memory over & let's have a look @ those settings then.

Weird problem with k8n neo fsr

You should first get down cpu ratio, then get up cpu fsb and as you wanted set ht frequency from 4 to 3 and "save changes and exit" if it doesn't boot change you psu (at least antec 380 or tagan) or go fast to send back your mobo to reseller!!

D-BRacket 2 and keyboard cordless problem with k8n neo platinum

hi
i have two problems
the d-bracket2 doesn't work
when my game controller is on , it isn't recognized by Win XP
but the 4 leds are green.
i tried the two connectors and it's the same thing.
my logitech cordless keyboard doesn't work in the bios
i tried with the ps2 but the keyboard didn't work in XP
i check the bios with an other keyboard and the usb keyboard support is enabled
can you help me ?
PS: Sorry for my english

Hi galette,
Do you have a k8n neo or neo2 ?
At least some neo2's have problems with ps/2 keyboards. Their users could circumvent this by using usb keyboards.
I have a logitech cordless desktop myself and for me it works. Perhaps you can borrow a usb keyboard to test it ?

Cool & Quiet Problem with K8N Neo Platinum

Hi!
I just formatted my windows xp and encountered weird problem with Cool & Quiet.
Before the format CQ worked perfectly, but now when I apply minimal power management from the properties Windows freezes.
I have 1.2.2.2 drivers installed and CQ enabled from BIOS.
BIOS has been updated to 1.7, 1.9 bugged for me.
Windows XP SP2 + all hotfixes.

Quote from: aicjofs on 09-October-05, 02:49:29
If all he has done is "reformat" windows what would have changed in the BIOS magically? Still seems like the driver to me...Troubleshoot what has obviously changed since things worked normally. If he didn't touch the BIOS and only reinstalled Windows the driver is the logical issue.
Ugh...even in that linked article the guy is saying the HyperTransport is the link between the CPU and Chipset/RAM. There goes this RAM thing again. The memory controller communicates with the DRAM controller no Hypertransport about it...
ok, but where is DRAM controller? in CPU my friend and in Athlon 64 is DRAM controller in CPU so this is HyperTransport - comunication with CPU and memory...no only me has this mention but also another guy and another, so all of us are wrong yout think?

Display problems with K8N Neo Platinum

I have XP Professional installed on my Raptor fine, but I am having issues with my Radeon 9800. I cannot boot XP unless I hit F8 and then select "Enable VGA Mode"
When I do not enable VGA mode, my monitor goes blank right before the Welcome screen.
Moving along...now when I boot with "Enable VGA Mode" I cannot change ANY monitor settings. If I increase the resolution from 640x480/8bit to, let's say, 800x600/32bit, the screen will go blank for a few seconds and then a black screen with a white blinking cursor at the top left corner will show. After this, my monitor just completely shuts off and I am forced to restart.
I also had problems with the ATi Control Panel. The ATi driver package installed fine, so I rebooted but when Windows started, I received an error message saying that ATi Control Panel could not load.
I'm baffled right now and I really don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated, thank you guys very much.

You might want to try and reinstall the video drivers and make sure that you uninstalled the old ones fully with Driver Cleaner.

Weird start up problem with K8N Neo2

Hello all,
I'm hoping SOMEONE can help me with a very annoying and very perplexing problem with my Neo2. I've read quite a few posts and can't seem to find anything similar to my problem.
Ever since the first time I booted my setup I've gotten this problem where when I power up my PC all the fans start up and the HD starts to spin up as well, but then it makes this click, spins down, then spins back up, clicks, spins down... and well, you get the picture. It keeps doing this until I power off the PC.
The first time this happened I thought the HD had died, especially since I heard a lot of people where having sudden deaths of their Deskstars. So I hooked up another HD I had lying around, but, same problem. So at least I knew the HD was not the problem, and here I was starting to think about how an excellent excuse this was to get a new WD Raptor, LOL!
After fiddling around with the connectors, the cables, the CPU and the memory, I made this last ditch effort to clear the CMOS. Well, low and behold, the damn thing booted up fine. I thought, oh well, sometimes the most obvious solutions are the ones that you never think about. So I install everything and turn it off. Next morning I wake up, turn on the PC, and the hard drive spins up, clicks, spins down, spins back up, clicks and I start to cry.
Well, for the past few days, whenever I want to use my PC I have to clear the CMOS to get it to boot. Stangely enough it works just fine if I don't power it down and after some grueling Doom 3 sessions.
Im thinking it might be a bad CMOS battery, but then it would still boot and it would just loose the settings, right? Or maybe I have a bad CMOS? Or is the board just plain defective?
I'll appreciate any help and insight you guys can give.

Sounds like you are shorted out on a standoff or something. You may want to pull the motherboard and start fresh. Here is some good reading material at this point;

Problems with Audigy Platinum and Firew

Hi,
I've been running my Soundblaster Audigy Platinum on my Win2k-System for some years and have just encountered some weird problems with the Firewire-Connector. When I connect an external DVD-Burner everything works fine. But when I connected an external harddisc for the first time recently, the system completely flipped and rebootet without any messages. When I connected the dri've via USB it wasn't recognized automatically (what it should have after the manual) but after installing the Drivers on the Disc. Afterwards also the Firewire-connect was possible, the dri've was recognized and appeared in the Explorer. So far so good.
But now, everytime I try to copy files larger than some Megabyte the dri've stops copying and I get an error message. Then the dri've disappears in the explorer. When I connect the dri've to my Laptop (XP Pro System) everything works fine. I already tried to google the problem and found some users with the same problem, unfortunately no answers to their posts. Is there someone who can help me (us)?
By the way, I already tried to re-install the drivers for the audigy...

hi kakarocht, tks for help me.
My mobo is new, i buy all the config recently.
i'm searching in the forum, and found this topic https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=85631.0
my HD SATA is the same of this, i will try to remove it, and then tell here for you.
sorry for my english again.
