Ghostface Killah said:What bios does the stock MSI Platinum come with?
Ghostface Killah said:So do you belive that If I order the mother board now the problem would be fixed? Since I am going to get the Antec NeoPower 480 watts.
Ghostface Killah said:Yes I am planning to use the onboard sound :\

Ghostface Killah said:Also, did you guys install cardboard / small pieces of washers in between your spaces and the mother board? Is it required? so washers are never needed for this motherboard installation?

Also, for those people who own the 6800 GT, what model did you guys get? Or does it not matter that much.
Thanks.RISCmaster said:snip

So the thing cardboard washers go in between the motherboard and top of the screw. Top as in the top of the mobo and... yeah you get it.
Thanks
RISCmaster said:Did you make a typo error here or am I confused. Can you please explain it my friend.
Ghostface Killah said:So basically the washer goes on top of the mother board where the PCI slots are; then you put the washers in correct?
Last week after installing the new heatsink my computer would turn on but it would say no video signal on my monitor. I thought it was the PSU but it wasn't. So I RMA'ed basically everything. PRocessor, Video Card, and Mother board. Oh well hope it works just wanted to say that.
MikeDeuce said:Is anyone have no post and post-post lock ups at stock clocks, voltages, and basically default bios settings? I tried upping the CPU voltage with no luck.
Hey I recieved your PM. Sorry I didnt repond fast enough.RISCmaster said:Since your are still online do you mind chating with me on my LIVE CHAT SUPPORT, that I just added on my MSI K8N NEO4 PLATINUM/SLI page. We can talk further on this issue.

ChakkaSol said:OK Riscmaster, I see that you are really leading a crusade to tell everyone to go to bios version 3.0. Well I led the silly crusade to try and get MSI to acknowledge and correct the problem in the last few bios releases. Btw, the latest official release is 3.6 on the USA website.
Before I start flashing, lets define the 219 bug as I and many many others see it. I actually call it the 219 cold boot hypertransport bug. It doesnt have much to do with overclocking but more to do with the hypertransport bus speed and corresponding ht multiplier. For most of us, at 219fsb, we can cold boot post with the ht multiplier set at x5 or x4, but as soon as we set the fsb to 220, no cold boot post until we lower the ht multiplier to x3 (some with better cpus like san diegos hit this at 229fsb).
However, remember 2 things. The memclock must be set at 200 and the command rate at 1T. Let me know if you can do this.
Like I said, its not about overclocking but cold boot posting. I post at 200fsb with ht multy set at x4 and then I use clockgen and a startup.ini file to automatically boost my crucial ballistix tracer memory to 250fsb at timings of 2.5,2,2,6 1T and NO memory dividers (memclock at 200, prime95 stable 10 hrs). The hypertransport bus speed is at its rated maximum at 250x4=1000.
Because if you cannot do this, welcome to the 219 bug club.

TwinTurboJosh said:What does everyone recommend for me to get to 2GB of system RAM; I can add 2 more 512 sticks of Geil, or I can replace my 2 current 512 sticks and replace them with 2 1GB sticks. I know that the Venice core Athlons can handle 4x512, but I believe I would have to run my RAM at slower timings correct?
Yes I heard it is out. But I am tired of trying different BIOS versions. I am very happy with 3.0 right now.LittleMe said:Anybody else see that 3.6 is on their site?
Ghostface Killah said:As some of you know I RMA"ed my motherboard.
Can I just install the mobo with my old hard drive configuartion and hope all works well since I used the same mother board before?
How would I set everyting outside the case safely and secure so I don't have to RMA anything again?RISCmaster said:Yes I would try that first, and hopefully everything will go fine this time if your previous Motherboard was the culprit. I would try testing everything outside the case to eliminate any grounding issues.
Ghostface Killah said:How would I set everyting outside the case safely and secure so I don't have to RMA anything again?
I know that the motherboard should be on top of the nostatic bag that it came with, but what about the hard drive and PSU?

No Problem, and remember to GROUND YOURSELF BY TOUCHING THE PSU OR CASE CHASIS WITH THE POWER CABLE PLUGGED IN TO AVOID ANY ESD.Ghostface Killah said:Thank you very much RISCMaster
