I have a 970 Extreme 4 motherboard. It has 3 slots to crossfire 3 graphics card. That is why I bought it. It will not accept 2 R9 290 cards in crossfire. It has a crossfire compatiblity list but it is for lower end cards. Is there anyway I can crossfire 2 R9 290's?

Any idea where it is? Rly need to help with this, thx.


I don't understand what the problem is.

It seems that you are running the Windows installation program (what version of Windows), but then the "program make me choice cd/dvd driver". What program is that?

Is the Windows installer asking you to install a driver program from from an optical drive?

There is no option to disable scanning for optical drives in your board's BIOS.

Please help me regarding these errors
Note: bios version is 2.38.00, LSI MEGARAID SAS  9271-8i, FW package: 23.12.0-0011

That message is being displayed by your LSI MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i option ROM, the internal BIOS of the LSI RAID card. That is not a message from your ASRock board.

Given what you told us, it sounds like this "error" message is a warning about the optional LSI
 MegaRAID CacheVault module not being used, or its battery is not charged.

The following is from the MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i Product Brief:


RAID caching is a cost-eff ective way to improve I/O performance by writing data to a controllers??cache before it is written to disk. In write-back mode, data written to cache is vulnerable until it is made permanent on disk. To avoid the possibility of data loss or corruption during a power or server failure, Avago off ers the CacheVault fl ash cache protection module or the LSIiBBU09 battery backup unit for the MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i controller. CacheVault fl ash cache protection uses NAND fl ash memory powered by a super-capacitor to help protect data stored in the MegaRAID controller cache. The RAID controller automatically writes the data in cache memory to fl ash storage when a power failure occurs, while the super-capacitor keeps the current going during the process. When the power comes back, the DRAM is recovered from fl ash storage and the system goes on without loss of data. Customers have the fl exibility to choose a traditional LiON battery solution or a greener, lower total cost of ownership (TCO) cache protection solution with MegaRAID CacheVault technology.

Is this message stopping the PC from booting?

Just for the update:

The computer store says the motherboard working, with different cpu, and my new memory modules. After a bios update still not boot with the Core i3-6300T .

Long story Short: i bought another H170M-dl, and it is working fine. 

The computer store bought back the previous motherboard (something wrong with it?). I lost 2 weeks and 2 euros on the change.

Thanks for the help.

oRau ... are you talking about "F6" during Windows Custom Install where you can load drivers for your hardware so the "Windows Install" can find them? As parsec is pointing out more information is required to help you.

It was probably a problem with the board and that particular CPU. Glad to hear you were able to replace it without too much hassle. Sadly these things happen but that is why we have warranty Wink

Does the PC still boot when you get that message?
It tells me to press F1 to continue after I get the error. After pressing F1, the computer boots up just fine and takes me straight to the Windows 10 login screen.

Quote
Are you using the Firewire/1394 port with a device on that PC?
I am currently not using the Firewire port on this PC.

Did you try clearing the UEFI/BIOS to clear that message?
I have not tried clearing the UEFI/BIOS to the clear the message. I honestly do not know how to do this.

I have a pair of F4-3200C16D-16GTZ modules in the second and fourth slots. No issues running the XMP profile, but 3466 causes  errors in Prime95 mixed mode.
On another note in AUTO and fixed 1.350v the BIOS reports 1.367v!

I see one site using  1.42 to achieve 3466 and 3600 but that seems really high.

An advice on what BIOS setting I should be tweaking to o/c these memory modules besides DRAM voltage?

BTW I've tried BIOS 2.6 and 3.0,...2.6 seems a little better and cpu is at 4.6 GHz.

To the best of my knowledge there is probably a circuit on the socket that requires the CPU to close and allow any kind of power up. The same is true of all my ASRock intel based motherboards. No CPU, no power or LEDs or any other indicators other than the LAN port.

If the LAN port is lighting up then that is a good sign. Is there any particular reason you were concerned or was it just that you could not power on the system without a CPU that was worrying you? If it was only the inability to power the system on then you have no reason for concern Wink

The connectors usually have their purpose written on one side and small holes where the copper contacts clip into on the other. The writing should face toward the outer edge of the board. 

With colored wires the white or common color (could be black or white) is always neutral and the colored wire is always positive. The colors are usually 1 white/black wire and one wire of a different color. Green for power LED, red of HDD led etc. Here is a youtube video that should be of some help if my explanation was unclear.

Thank you Xaltar. I actually watched that video as a part of my research, it was the most helpful one!

I ended up using the wire with the little triangle as the positive one.

I like the look of the all-black wires that the case uses, but it did take away the possibility of telling the positive from the negative from just the colors.

Thank you very much for getting back to me.
Now back to the build : )

I would look into trying another PSU at this point. If you have another PSU to try or can buy/borrow one give that a try and get back to us with the results.

I'm having a similar issue with my SM951 (UEFI version 1.6) where I cant get the motherboard to set it up as NVME, it only registers AHCI and i cant even find where in the UEFI I might change that, as the system overview has little information and zero functionlity, and theres no M.2 labled functions.

Hi,

I am going to buy the A88M-G/3.1 motherboard  along with the  A10 7860k processor.
Is it possible to update the BIOS to P1.30 which supports the A10 7860k without the usage of an older processor?
Or,i could just update it through Instant Flash without the need of an older processor?

Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming the same mother board as the OP, the Fatal1ty 990FX Killer?

FYI, the first and much more common version (of an overall rare SSD) of the SM951 SSD is an AHCI type of PCIe SSD. I own two of them.

You own an AHCI SM951 too, given what you have described.

The model number of the AHCI version of the SM951 is MZHPV256HDGL, for the 256GB version.

The model number of the NVMe version of the SM951 is MZVPV256HDGL.

The model number is on the sticker of your drive, or can be read by various software. It should show up in Device Manager like this:



You can also see how an NVMe SSD is listed in Device Manager, and the entries for their controllers, both AHCI and NVMe. The correct driver for each type of SSD is loaded automatically.

The NVMe version of the SM951 was available for a short while before the first Samsung M.2 NVMe SSD meant to be sold at the retail level was released, the Samsung 950 Pro.

While the SM951 SSDs in AHCI and NVMe models use identical SSD controllers, the firmware each one has is different, and is what makes the SSDs either AHCI or NVMe.

There is nothing in any mother board's UEFI that can change an SM951 from AHCI to NVMe. That is solely based on the drive's firmware.

How can you change the firmware? You can't. Samsung would need to provide that, and they don't. The SM951 is not supported by the Samsung Magician software, which is where firmware updates can be done with supported Samsung SSDs.

We are very lucky that ANY AMD chipset board, particularly the old 990/SB950 pair used in your board, can support any PCIe M.2 SSD, AHCI or NVMe.

The latest Intel boards that support PCIe M.2 NMVe SSDs do not have any additional functionality either. That Intel chipset is far beyond the AMD 990/SB950, and actually provides the full bandwidth required by an SM951 or 950 Pro (PCIe 3.0 x4).

We are lucky that we can use SSDs on the same physical interface (M.2), while they use different protocols. If you expect them to be the same as SATA drives in the UEFI, then you will be disappointed.
