Recently bought a new PC - with an ASRock K10N78 motherboard, amd quad core 9950 processor, 8gb ddr800 ram.
Installed vista64 myself, had probs with ethernet drivers but managed to sort by new downloads.
Ran CPU-Z and said the ram only running at 200MHz (ddr400) so tried to adjust bios which was set to auto but then wouldn't boot :(
had to reset bios with the on board jumpers, but now when it boots it gets to POST and says "MAC address are invalid in both CMOS and Flash" and i have to press F1 to resume :-/
Ethernet doesn't work now and says Nvidia nforce networking cotroller "this device cannt start (code 10)" ???
any help please :'(
how can it loose the MAC addy and how can i get it back
-
You need to reset your bios or even worse flash it or another cause could be the problem :).
All may not be lost but I need much more detail :y
-
Just looked at your mother board on line, I need to know what ram you got, how you installed it etc. Asrock is typically tempermental. Also what version vista 64 are you running and where did you get it if it isn't an original.
Let me know and I can help you, hopefully, been building and programming for 17 years :y

Have reset bios with the "clear cmos jumper" and even tried taking bios battery out for 5mins.
have downloaded latest bios from asrock and flashed it
still din't work?

Its right...
200mhz is right for ddr400 - DDR is double data rate (ie, dual pumped, using rising and falling edge of clock), so 2 x 200Mhz = 400. But the memory clock is still 200Mhz.
The mobo though is shite, like all ASRock stuff, and I won't have an AMD cpu in the house either ;D
-
I need to know what ram you have cos you obviously didn't have this much ram when you ran previous operating system. Are they pairs, what make are they and what are the individual specs of the modules.
-
And nvidia ethernet chips are notoriously unreliable, with the chipset itself frequently crashing, esp with timing issues. Pulling the power out of PC for 30s normally cures - note reboot is not enough to reset the ethernet chipset, not is shutting down (as chipset still on due to WoL stuff) - it needs power pulled from back for 30s!

Ram is Samsung 2GB DDR800 FG3/3N 256x4 G0909 K4T16044QQ-ZCF7 - 4 sticks all the same.
Was already installed as bought the pc ready built in case from Pallicomp.
Vista is 64bit Ultimate and don't ask me where i got it from but everything else seems to work fine bar nvidida ethernet :-/

the ram is fine - he just tried to massively overclock it, with the expected result!

no i didn't it's ddr800 ie 400mhz running twice per cycle to give 800mhz, the bios setting was auto and i changed it to ddr800 not ddr1066

Oh now I understand :y
I was a little confused before
I agree the ram is fine and overclocking should be ventured slowly step by step and with only the best components, not ASRock :y

i'm not trying to overclock (yet) just get it running as intended >:(

ddr800? Don't you mean ddr2-800? if so, quad pumped off a 200Mhz clock

Before the purist come out stating the inaccuracy above, its actually dual pumped, but ran at double speed internally, so same effect as quad pumped. But technically not the same. If that makes sense?

I still haven't explained myself that well - sorry, its the Leffe ::)
DDR2-800 has a 200Mhz clock. That is correct.

That looks right depending on what clock its using for memory - due to internal and external sync clocks running at double/half the speed of each other.
BTW, hooky copies of Vista will come to bite you on the arse - buy it if you want to use it. Ultimate is generally not the best version costwise, unless you need to be in an AD and have media center.

Try this then. the boy won't like it probably :-X :-X
You need to download this utility from

netgear wireless lan is how i'm online now but want to put that card back in old rig and hardwire this one with rj45 but internal lan not listed is it?
-
off to bed now else i'm going to opps it up even more :-[
try and sort it tomorrow hopefuly :-/
-
just a quicky before I go to work, you definately need to do as I said before. your mac id must be printed somewhere, motherboard, box, booklet. I will look into it further this evening when I have finished at the workhouse :y
-
The Physical Address is the MAC address.
The last one looks suspicious and I wouldn't want it on a network. Do you know where the last two come from? Can you remove/disable the device that owns it/them.
MAC addresses can't just be dreamed-up. They are supposed to be unique across the known universe so manufacturers get ranges assigned to them and you need to have the right one for the device if indeed you can re-write it.
Having said that, if you are just using the machine on a local network you should get away with it (although your BIOS says otherwise).
HTH
Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_address says MAC addresses are more complicated in this day and age.

That is an invalid MAC address and needs programming correctly.
Remember that you will ahev multiple MAC's on your board as you have multiple physical network adpators.

Lost me at i`ve bought a new pc..... :-? :-?
-
IT support at Pallicomp have told me where the MAC should be on the motherboard and im fairly sure from memory that it's "001966BA9121"
but as Mark said this is only the MAC for the mb and all the individual adaptors will have their own MAC,
just hope i can restore the main one and the rest sort themselves out??? :-/
sure i've tried that number though :-?
-
"Tunnel adapter " implies a virtual network interface created by a VPN or other software device to me. In that case it doesn't have a hardware MAC address because no physical hardware interface is associated with it. Perhaps it's not necessarily a problem that the MAC addres is zero.
It looks to me like the problem is that the physical Ethernet interface hasn't been picked up at all. All I can see above is a wireless LAN.

Depending on how the VPN is created, a MAC address will still be required.
As said, all physicla devices will need a MAC address.

just hope i can restore the main one and the rest sort themselves out??? :-/
sure i've tried that number though :-?
Now you have the mac code just follow what I posted earlier and it should it out :y

That is an invalid MAC address and needs programming correctly.
Remember that you will ahev multiple MAC's on your board as you have multiple physical network adpators.
Tunnel virtual adapter will have a MAC that is meaningless.

Looks like BIOS is disabling this adapter - have you removed the power from the PC (by pulling the plug for 30s). This is a very, very, very, very common problem on those appalling Nvidia NIC chipsets.

yes been unplugged for an hour and removed bios battery for 10minutes too to try an extra reset, but no good :-/
the mac update with amibios didn't work either :-/
getting pissed off with this now :'(

might try to re-instal vista in a min.
clutching at straws now :-X

just an idea, if the board dont want to work with its own ethernet (seems like) disable totally (if possible) and use another one.. :-/
I'm sure someone in the neighbours/friends have one on an old unused machine..
-
Don't know if this is of any use
http://www-dcn.fnal.gov/DCG-Docs/mac/

or request a replacement mobo from where you buy it..
-
i can carry on using this wireless card, but it's a brand new machine and i'm really annoyed that it's not perfect.
plus not sure i can disable onboard device, and currently have to press F1 to resume every time it boots, whic kinda spoils the 4second quick boot promised >:(
-
I am sure I have a spare ethernet card kicking around somewhere

I think you cant continue to use a new mobo in that style it will really annoy you everyday.. :(

Try BIOS reset, if you haven't already, then get board replaced.

to return the motherboard i think will mean returning the whole system (pre-built) and that's going to cost me in postage :-/
-
Is it possible for a warranty replacement or refund ???

Its a failure - under distance selling regs, I believe the retailer has to cop the cost of return postage if its failed. CAB or TS can confirm.
-
Maybe get a refund however irrating and buy and alternative which is more stable. I find some of the ASUS stuff reliable and well priced, it is still not the best out there but I find it reliable and stable :y
-
I won't have ASUS shite in the house either ;D
-
Money is an object here :P :P and it's better than ASRock :P

At the cheap end, I'd probably go gigashite...
...but the system is all imbalanced - 'big' numbers on cpu and memory, but the most important part (mobo) is shite
-
I disagree, I had no end of problems with gigasupershit, at least asus is well supported and stable :-?

Had about 30% early failure rate on asus junk...

gigashite is worse and their customer support is rubbish

Only built around 20 gigashit based systems, so can't make an accurate judgement. Loads more ASUS failures, so thats why I'd never use them.
-
I have found as long as you don't buy the cheapest ASUS it works fine, and if it fails they replace without question which is important in the world of budget shite
-

You've been lucky - I've always been referred back to retailer, and if it was intermittent fault, got nowhere as expected.
Irrelevent now, as I don't build so much for others - no money in it now, so only close friends and family now. For businesses, I now just ram in Dell/HP machines

Foxconn, being the largest mobo manufacturer in the world, really do have some reliable stuff generally.
In Dell's case, obviously Optiplex is often going to be the most suitable, but Dimension and Inspiron have their place in the office as well. An Dell's (Business) support is pretty bloody good (though you have to go through the motions of their script sheet)
