Post a screenshot of A64 tweaker.

i flashed the normal 1.d sideeffect but nothing changed!
250mhz 1:1 doesn´t go with 2.8V and 3-2-3-8 :(
before my X2 runs fine with 260*10 and memory-divider so the TCCD runs with 200mhz!
is the 1:1 with ram harder for the cpu?
Yes using the 1:1 ratio the memory controller is working much harder and may not cope.
oh no :(
i bought this ram cause i thouhgt i could run it 1:1 with the cpu...
f*** off, so i have to try which divider works best?!
or should i try a lower multi and a higher "fsb" with divider?
Either, you'll have to find the max CPU overclock by lowering the memory speed to 100Mhz and upping the HTT untill the CPU is unstable. Then lower the CPU multiplier and up the HTT 1:1 until the memory is unstable, then find the happy medium between the two.Quote:

I went into the BIOS and enables SATA and RAID for 3&4.
Went into the BIOS utility and set them up for striping.
Started the windows install and pressed F6 for RAID drivers and picked the first RAID driver. At the windows screen it shows two disks with the same IDs. Each as it own 250GB drive.
I formatted one drive and tried installing windows. Using the driver disk I received an error that could not find nvidiaraid.sys (think that’s the name). And could not proceed with the install.
I tried with out installing the drivers and it worked until the computer rebooted. I received a boot error.
Any ideas?
-----------------
The details are:
SATA 3/4 DMA transfer Disabled
IDE RAID Enabled
SATA3 RAID Enabled
SATA4 RAID Enabled
SATA3/4 Enabled
RAID utility
Boot: yes ID: 1 Status: healthy Stripe 64k Striping width 2
Does this in for help?
did you load both of drivers: the raid drivers and the controller drivers ? and was the software already loaded on the drives or are you doing a new install?
if you saw 2 drives after loading drivers, then windows did not see the raid config. it should show up as one drive. you have the new raid drivers from msi home page?
PS most folks recommend 16k or 32k on your raid, bit more efficient, and just a bit :)
sounds like you may have to reformat and reload windows again :(
I did not know to load both drivers and will try again. And I will try 32k cluster size too.
Thanks. As for the install no biggy, I have an unattended windows install disk. Plug and walk away.
RAID is some what a mistery to me. Not in how it works but how to det it up. My other computer was so much easyer.
-----------------
Well that did not seem to work. Loading both drivers made the computer hang at the starting windows blue screen, just before it asks you about formatting and creating partitions.
I will try updated drivers and see if that helps. If only computers were ever easy.
i was getting bsod random ocasions with my venice 3200 at 10 x 250 x 4 maybe because bios wasnt rep senting v core correctly,
Anyway got a 3700 sandieago and its about a non clocker . gave up and went to just about stock, cant seem to overclock it esp with a 7800 gs in the box too, I gave up and raided 2 wd 250 gb 16mb cache drives . kept the 1 c final and lost the overclock for good. very stable after 2-3 months no probs.
will memtest just fine but prime 95 wont work right, super pi would show decent results . my memory gave up on me and so im done clocking this board.
You are running 4xHTT? I thought that was a no no, might want to lower it down. Or maybe I am mistaken.
(probably the worst for giving over clocking advice but try)
4 x 250 is 1000Mhz which is bang on the money i.e. fine.
found what the problem was, the cd rom I was using was bad, it would read cd's just fine, today I put in a dvd burner and it boots right up.Quote:

I need some help. I am trying to setup RAID0 with two new identical WDC WD2500KS Drives. Western Digital 250gb 16mb 7200 drives.
Now I have gone though all the steps listed on the MSI forum and tried a number of different things. No matter what windows will not detect the drives in RAID0. At the install level or in the OS the HDD are not found.
I have configured the BIOS to enable RAID and SATA. I have used SATA3/4 and jumpered then for 150 (tried 300 as well). I configured the drives in the tool (F10 at boot) and removed all other drives to eliminate conflicts. WD's tool can not find them either.
When they are taken out of RAID, they appear fine.
I have run a full check on the drives and no errors (in DOS and Windows). One is running hot and has an error in everest:
BE <vendor-specific> 45 45 24 55 Advisory: Usage or age limit exceeded
The drives are new and I can RMA or return them. Has anyone setup WD drives in RAID? Is RAID buggy on MSI boards? Should I buy different drives?
This is driving me crazy and away from RAID, any advice would be appreciated.
try leaving a bootable cd in your cdrom. And dont hit a key to boot of it.
Had these same issues.....tried different raid drivers. Different hardware configurations (i.e. port 1/2, or 3/4) Different amount of hdd's plugged up (got ide/sata devices all rather full).
Raid by itself it well boot. But no matter what i do, with any OTHER ide/sata devices plugged up the ONLY WAY i can boot is by waiting through the "press any key to boot of cd" screen.
Not bad security cause asif anyone would ever guess that to boot your pc up :P
Kinda annoying tho
2 of my drives are WD, 2 are seagate (out of my SATA devices) 250gb each. Not the 16mb cache tho, so i really dunno whether you should bother RMA or just persist with my quick fix solution heh. I'd really think its the motherboard tho.
Yes, i have even flash'd / used custom bios's
Spent 3-4 solid days trying to solve this problem to no avail :(
Anybody have problems with
1. AGP slots taking out cards
2. Random no boot with creative audigy zs
is there a way I can measure the actual agp voltage with my multimeter
cheers

Guys this may sound stupid but i can't figure out how to set my CPU : DRAM to 1:1 .. i got my ram manualy set to 200MHz ( 2.5 3 3 6 2T) .. 9x230 = 2070MHz .. htt multi x4 .. CPU-Z reports CPU : DRAM set to CPU/9 .. how do i set it to run 1:1 in bios? The CPU is a 3000+ E6 Venice.. :confused:
200Mhz is 1:1
2070 / 9 = 230 i.e you RAM is also running at 230Mhz.
The A64 uses a divider ALL the time. There is no true 1:1 on A64, the RAM clock is derived from the CPU clock speed via a divider.
@Draxx thx for clearing that out.. and perhaps you can answer me to another question .. i'm runing my ram @ DDR460 right now.. with 2.5 3 3 6 2T ( i can't run 1T .. i have to reset the cmos if i set 1T).. so as far as i know i can run max 235 MHz with these timings.. would a 3 4 4 8 @ 245MHz be better in performance than tight timings?
I doubt i can get 245 @ any timings anyway since my ram is so low quality..
1 x 512 KingMax PC3200 rated 2.5 3 3 7
1 x 512 GEIL PC3200 rated 2.5 3 3 6
What's your advice.. thx
I'd download Super Pi and try out both speeds and timings, whichever gives you the fastest Super Pi time is the winner :)Quote:

I have a problem:
I tried samsung UCCC chips dual channel on neo2-pe
I can reach 282MHz@1T & superpi1M pass
but when I run memtest it crashed in several minutes ..
it can only get stable at 200MHz(default) or HTT250MHz@DDR333(200MHz) if 201MHz it crashes.I tried timing 3-4-4-8-2T@201MHz it still not stable...
and I tried different BIOS ver1.8,1.B0,1.C3 mod TCCD it doesn't help.
what does this mean?is there something wrong with my tweaks?
Question for those in the know, Im in the need of 2gigs of mem, im wondering whats a good pair of sticks for my Neo2, i have a Opty 144 that can easily run 2.8 stable so ill be doing some oc'ing. im looking to spend 2-250us$,
Also, how will 2gigs run on this board/ should i expect problems? THX for any help...:toast:
if you already have a gb i dont think it'd be worthy upgrade...save some dough for k8l :)
Anyone know the solution to the BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER BSOD on reboot/shutdown problem?
I just went from a 3700 San Diego to an X2 4400, and I get this BSOD almost every time I try to shut down my computer after the cpu swap. The computer was almost 100% stable before the cpu swapout (I'm not overclocking right now) but I don't want to blame this on the new cpu since a quick google search makes it seem like it's a common issue.
I'd rather not go with a bios update if possible, but I will if I have to. The bios I'm using has been working great for a long time now and I've had no real problems with the computer other than this BSOD on shutdown/reboot problem.
Oh yes, I use a powered USB hub and still get the BSOD even when no USB devices are plugged in.
TIA!
