M IIIII CCCCCCCCCCCCC K EEEEEE YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
M-O-U-S-E !!!!
sorry guy i had to do it
http://www.swjka.com/k8nneo2bios//performance.jpg
Thats my performance with the 1.A ballistix bios 2970mhz cpu. 229mhz ram. The bios definately doesnt suck.
hey guys,
first of all, let me explain what the deal is with my comp. about a week ago I used winflash to flash to one of NFM modded bioses. after flashing and it rebooted, it got to the point where it says it says "Verifying DMI Pool Data..." and it just stopped, with a cursor blinking. windows did not load. so today I flashed to sideeffects new tccd bios (thnx lestat) and the flash was successfull, but for some reason it still doesnt want to load windows. it says "Verifying DMI Pool Data..." then just sits there with the cursor blinking. if I reformatted windows would that help? or does this mean that I need to hot flash my bios chip?
any help would be greatly appreciated guys :(
Anyone noticed that USB2.0 is disabled with the 1.A bios? PCI management screen (during bootup) shows that a 1.0/1.1 USB Controller is detected on my board?!?!!? HELP!!!!
Does it say Verifying DMI Pool Data... ok
And then blink or does it not say ok? If it says ok then it could be that the disk is corupted and thats why windows wont load. If its doesnt say ok it could be that the bios is corupted :p:
I'd tend to think the bios was ok. if you can get that far and pehaps its an issue with your settings. You running at stock right ? Make sure your ram timings are ok. Set cas 2.5 and trp 3 trcd 3. Set cpu voltage to 1.4 volts and ram to 2.7 volts.
Make sure your harddrives are all conected properly and showing up properly in the bios. Disable the Sata ports that your not using and the other devices your not using like lan firewire onboard sound if your using a soundcard.
Did you clear cmos after flashing?
What bios did you use to install windows in the first place? Did you have ACPI enabled or disabled when you installed windows?
If you put your windows xp cd in the drive and set bios to boot cd first does it boot the windows cd?
Have you swapped the disk drives around at all? Might sound silly but this can cause an issue if you swap your disk drive to another IDE slot. Post back after you tried these things.
USB 2.0 is disabled by default on the official 1.A bios if you want to use a 1.A bios with USB 2.0 you need to use a mod bios. You have some choicesQuote:

thank god, finally figured out what was wrong. as a final attempt, I flashed back to the 1.36b beta I was using, and sure enough windows loaded. so I guess your bios's just dont like my gskill tccd SE. im sure they are great bios's, but I wont be able to use them until I get new ram. :(
I doupt its the ram FlyingHamster. The 1.A mod has some IRQ issues, And AGP issues and you may have not been able to boot because of this. Something MSI needs to work on!
Glad that your pc is working again :)
sideeffect the only reason and the one and only reason your getting that high of a sandra memory score is cuz of your cpu running so high.
thats the goofy thing with the A64's in dual channel... the higher the cpu the higher the score... raise your ram but lower the cpu multiplier and you wont even come close to getting that high..
sandra doesnt even know how to measure true memory thruput all its doing is measuring cpu thruput. so to speak
anyways i use sandra too lol so i shouldnt talk lol....
im not the only one who said sandra scores went down but that wasnt your tweaked ballistic version either.
show us what your scores are when you really crank the ram and lower the multiplier .. basically equal it out,,
the only way i can get that high is if i run my ram/htt at around 275-ish and cpu at 2.75ghz
hey SE you wanna take a look at the bios of my gateway M680 XL laptop and see if you can open up the little secret stuff lol.
your saying irq issues had murdock or someone mentioned to you that there was indeed an IRQ issue causing other problems ?
Lastly -
Hamsters issue is the exact same thing that happened to me sideeffect,,,,, it would sit at that message and then not go anywhere.
i just asked Hamster if he has a PCI controller card so ill wait to see what he says.
Yes i get about the same memory scores in 250 x 11 and also 300 x 10 with a 166 divider. Its not all about the cpu speed. Some dividers are faster than others and some multipliers are also faster than others.
Everest is regarded as a more accurate memory benchmark heres my results with current settings. Everest Version 2.20 405.

Wanna play beat my latency :p:
Yes Lestat im talking with some other people that have your AGP issue on my forum take a look. Were trying to work it out join in.
i already beat that latency
ocz pc4000 hynix D5 running 290mhz 3.5v 2.5-4-3-10 cpu multi was ehhh i think 9x i cant recall but i equalled the 38ns
so if anyone tells you hynix D5 dont scale very good with more volts they are full of crap and it didnt get as hot has this TCC5 Platinum at 2.8~9 volts.
ill have to try my tcc5 now that its running smooth
ill let ya know lol
If you beat me i dont want to play anymore :slap:
Join in this thread Lestat

but ohhhh i can do better dont you go quitting on me yet.
but if your getting that latency at 2.5-2-2 230mzh or whatever it was then YES thta is definately an impressive show.

LOL :p:
Added 2 more BIOS's

Not too bad guys, but you can do better i'm sure...Quote:

anyone want to donate a spare rom so i can start my own programing ?
im just not one for A64 tweaker, not only does it defeat the purpose of overclocking in the bios ,since you usually overclock further in windows, and the post and bootup process is very intensive to the system so it stresses your overclock, its very bad for your hardware and windows itself to be jacking around and locking up your system all the time by experimenting in windows. Too big of a chance of corrupting key windows files.
I can´t get sideband adressing to stick at disabled. Any Ideas?
Bios 1.A - USB2.0 disabled ... only 1.0/1.1 avaliable
Went down to 1.9 and the problem was fixed.
Anyone else??
Yes everyone else its been said on the last page and the page just before that. The 1.A official has USB 2.0 disabled by default you need to use a mod bios to have it working.Quote:

Is it only I that have problems with sideband adressing won´t turn off?
You can force it off in windows with the graphics card display panel. I wouldnt turn it off though it costs about 400 - 500 points in 3dmark and you wont get that back by the tiny few extra mhz you get in a overclock.Quote:

Btw : Nice work on the R2 , TCCD and Ballisix versions
To bad the increased vcore hack didn't work out .
I cant find a link fo that bios syar. Can you send it to me?
Oh you already have, thanks mate.
