P45D3 Platinum and OCZ Memory problem

Hi
recently i was set up my new PC with the following parts:
MAINBOARD:P45D3 Platinum
CPU:Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz
MEMORY: OCZ OCZ313332GK 2x1GB PC10600 DDR III RAM (DDR-1333) Recommended by MSI.
HDD: SEAGATE BARRACUDA ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM
VGA: NVIDIA QUADRO FX 3400 256MB MEMORY
DVD: ASUS E818AT SATA
PSU:THERMALTAKE W0163 TOUGHPOWER 650W
the system running Windows XP Pro.
As you understand from the subject the Bios recognize the memory as 1066 GHz
and if i try to put the frequency to 1333 MHz the system can't start and freezes to a black screen.
I have made the upgrade of Bios to version v15 which according to MSI "Improve OCZ memory compatibility"
but nothing. >:(
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.

K9a platinum and ocz memory cas 4-5-4-15

Hi ,
I need help and i need it fast
I have k9a platinum and i want to buy this memory:
OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800, 4-5-4-15,
Is it compatible with my mobo and do u have opinion about this ram?
Thanx

Well my OCZ RAM which is meant to run @ 800MHz 4-4-4-15 timings. Runs very fine @ 800MHz w/ 4-4-4-10. 4-4-4-10 works up until about 870MHz.
OCZ seem to state their timings lower then the RAM sticks can actually cope for some reason.
I'm pretty sure it'll work, but contact OCZ for a correct answer.
Also like Bas said: Sig should be updated

[Athlon64] MSI Diamond-D and OCZ memory compatibility

More imortant than the brand are the types of chips used.
Winbond Bh6 and -Ch5 overclock poor on a AMD64 system, or u need to set the vMem redicoulisly high.
With Samnsung and Micron chips u can get the same timings @normal voltages (2,7v).
Here is a list of chips, icw brands:
http://www.techpowerup.com/memdb/
Make sure u get Micron 5B G or Samsung TCCD chips !
Agree with Stick about the amount of memory. First of all: Windows XP (32bit) cannot adress more then 3 GB, furthermore, no way in the world u are gonna use that memory. Stick to 2GB which is more then enough, heck, 1GB is allready more then enough 99,9999% of the time.

P45D3 Platinum and DDR31600 - PROBLEM

Hi all ... I am new in this forum and I am sorry if you have already discussed my problem but I will ask you for help:
P45D3 Platinum - mainboard
My RAM modules are RAM2GDDR31600CRXMS3 CORSAIR TW3X2G1600C9DHX
TEST SPECS
? Each module pair is tested together at 1600MHz
? Tested and packaged in pairs
? Packaged together immediately following system test
? Tested together at 1600MHz, Vdimm = 1.80V, at latency settings of 9-9-9-24
? SPD programmed at: JEDEC standard 7-7-7-20 values at
1066MHz
The problem is that this RAM doesn't start working at 1600 - BIOS recognize as 1066
I flashed bios with the latest version but problem is still the same
Please explain to me all that I need to run this ram at 1600

i dont know what i need to put for trfc and next so i put
trfc-58clk - maybe i need to put auto?
twr-4 - maybe i need to put auto?
trrd-4 - maybe i need to put auto?
trtp4 - maybe i need to put auto?
I adjust "FSB/DRAM" ratio until 1:2.0 "Adjusted DRAM Frequency" shows DDR3-1333 - it was max
and system run 1333
I make 3-4 hours gaming without problems
i stop to try to get 1600 - really i dont need it - i juts ask cause on memmory notice 1600
new queastions:
how i can test stability in WinXP - SOFTWARE?
About trfc,twr,trrd,trtp - what is the best that i can use?
Am i need to instal fresh copy of Win after finish my settings in BIOS?
I want to thx to all of you that help me!

K9A2 Platinum and 4 Memory Modules

Hey gang, the saga continues.
BIOS 1.2
With Vista Enterprise x64 SP1 RC and 4x DDR2-800 OCZ modules (see my signature) my system will POST but not boot properly (even in safe mode!) at either 3-4-4-15-2T-2.4V or at 5-5-5-15-2T-2.4V. It gets almost to the point where it wants to bring up the vista logo after loading all the drivers however then the screen resets to "no signal" and the system reboots from POST.
I removed 2 of the memory modules, leaving 2 in the slots closest to the CPU. At 3-4-4-15-2T-2.4V (which is what the memory is rated for) the ATI kernel driver gets a page fault during load, blue screen, memory dump. However at 5-5-5-15-2T-2.4V the system is stable. I expected 2 memory modules to work at the rated speed of the memory. I expected 4 memory modules to work at looser timings. I'll try 5-5-5-18-2T-2.4V with 4 modules just to see.
I'm getting 8GB/s throughput in Sandra XII at 5-5-5-15-2T-2.4V.
With BIOS P.0D I was getting 9.5GB/s at 5-5-5-18-2T-2.3V with the mushkin XP8500.
Maybe P.0D doesn't have the erratum in it, and tighter memory controller timings.
Oh and the Sandra disk benchmark test posted a RAID0 score of 140.5 MB/s throughput. WD360JD was 55 MB/s. I need to run a better benchmark though. I bought EVEREST Personal Ultimate, maybe it'll have something more useful in it. I can tell you the EVEREST benchmarks for memory performance on my system absolutely suck. They're pinning it around midrange in all the tests. :< I cannot run HDTach on this system because it doesn't recognize me as an Administrator (although I am one).
I have my final water cooling parts arriving on Wednesday - an inline temperature sensor which will hang right off the egress on the video card stack, for accurate CPU + video card heat levels on the liquid for the fan control.
At idle this system keeps the CPU at 99F temp, HD at 105F (I removed the front case fan, it would probably be cooler with it in there, but slightly noisier). Memory therefore is probably around 102F. I haven't gotten to stress testing yet because of the stability issues.
I also am trying Catalyst 8.1 beta to see if CrossFireX will work.
** At least the system is POSTing BOOTing **

AaronYuri: Using Vista Enterprise x64 SP1 RC, no fixes come up through Windows Update, I assume I have everything... point me to something that wouldn't be in the service pack RC?
Quad: So you think with an X2 CPU this wouldn't be a problem, but the Phenom is inferior?
Russ: I'm using fixed memory voltage as specified in the test. 2.4V and 2.1V. Both of which should have worked. Since I can do DDR2-800 2x 3-4-4-15-1T-2.4V stable (running Prime95 now...), I would expect to be able to do DDR2-533 5-5-5-18-2T-2.1V. Also this board originally posted with the memory at DDR2-1066 5-7-7-20-2T-2.4V so I know the memory isn't the issue.
One additional comment I would like to add to this discussion is that with all 4 memory modules loaded I can install the Vista operating system. It is only after I reboot, after the initial install, that it won't complete the boot cycle any longer. So the install boot works (which is probably a limited kernel?) but the real thing won't work.
As for DDR2-400 I might give it a try but I have to say if that's the only way I could do 4gb memory, I wouldn't do it.
Hello, I have the SAME sort of problems except with the K9A Platinum
Here is the fix/update they are talking about
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929777/en-us
I have applied it and did not work for me. You are getting a BSOD likely. Boot to 2gb, go to System Settings under Control Panel. Click Advanced Setting on the left. Then click Settings button under Startup and recovery. UN-check automatically restart. You may then see the BSOD when you try booting with 4gb again.
I a using latest bios on my MSIK9A and I still cannot boot Windows to 4gb.
I have read thru all 20 pages here:
http://forums.microsoft.com/technet/showpost.aspx?postid=1292561&siteid=17&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=10
Even though I do not run 64bit, this still seems to be a very common problem with running 4gb on 32bit and 64bit. It is not just a Windows problem. I have read Linux has exhibited this as well.
I even did a clean install of Vista on a spare drive last night with only 2gb installed. I then updated all drivers in order and then applied MS Hotfix I linked to above. I shutdown, put in all 4gb and BAM!! same exact BSOD. I have tried setting timings to many different settings. I have tried all "suggested fixes" to no avail. All 4gb of Memory all passes memtest86 v1.7 scans. Ran 17 passes overnight and all passed.

P45D3 Platinum And G.Skill 4GB Dual Kit DDR3-1333 F3-10666C FREEZE!? HELP!

Hi there!
First sorry bout my bad english!
I bought yesterday the new p45d3 platinum mainboard and g.skill 4GB Dual Kit DDR3-1333 F3-10666C memory and i have this same problem that seems to be popular. The Bios works fine, but when installing xp sp3 from cd it always freezes in 6%. Every single time. Have tried to clear cmos and run the system with minimum hw in it but every time same problem.
Just when i changed from Abit to MSI i counter this same prob than with abit while ago.
If someone could be so gentle and help me out with this, thank you so much!
yours

First of all, what is your current BIOS-Version. It should be displayed on the POST screen:

G.Skill 4GB Dual Kit DDR3-1333 (2 X 2048)
Remove one of the two modules, clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU, load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS and set the following BIOS Option:
- Spread Spectrum = Disabled
- FSB/DRAM Rato -> 1:1.6 [=DDR3-1066]
- Memory Voltage/DRAM-Voltage = ~1.57V
Then try again to install XP.

P45D3 Platinum and Intel VT

Hi,
I run a P45D3 Platinum board with a Q8200 CPU and 8Gb of RAM. I am running the latest bios for my card as of this writing: AMI v1.6 and cannot find a way to enable the Intel VT feature. This is preventing me from running 64 bit kernels in guest Virtual Machines on Windows Vista 64 host with VMWare server 2.0.1.
I also tried the UEFI BIOS with little success as my OCZ RAM does not bode well with UEFI BIOS version 1.2
Any pointer appreciated,
Eric

Hi,
actually, Virtualization Technology should be automatically enabled by default if it is supported by the processor. And here comes the crucial point:

PixelGrabber is too slow and has memory problems!

Have any of you figured out a way to get pixels from an Image
WITHOUT using PixelGrabber??
PixelGrabber is really slow -- is a memory hog -- and has other problems
that cause me to need another way to get pixels from an image.
Does anyone else have a way to get the pixels directly from an Image
without using PixelGrabber?
Ken Warner

Hi, there are ways to do it if you can live with certain restrictions.
            BufferedImage img=new BufferedImage(32,32,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
            img.setRGB(10,15,0x01020304);   // a=1 r=2 g=3 b=4
            WritableRaster r=img.getRaster();
            DataBuffer db=r.getDataBuffer();
            if (db.getDataType() != DataBuffer.TYPE_INT)
                throw new IllegalStateException("Hey that must be a int!");
            if (db.getNumBanks() != 1)
                throw new IllegalStateException("Uh - Someone else got to do this job!");
            DataBufferInt dbi=(DataBufferInt)db;
            int[] data=dbi.getData();
            System.out.println(" Pixel (10,15) = "+Integer.toHexString(data[10+32*15]));
            // Test: No coy
            data[10+32*15]=0xaabbccdd;
            System.out.println(" Pixel (10,15) = "+Integer.toHexString(data[10+32*15]));As you see it works best if you can set the pixel format and if it only contains a single array of data (i.e. bank).

Help with 655 Max and Possible Memory Problems...

Just recieved my 655 Max and have put my system together, but when I turn it on it makes a constant beeping sound. I tried taking out both memory sticks, lol, and turning it on and the sound stops, I tried putting in one memory stick and the sound starts again.
I suppose this is a memory problem.
by the way I am using Corssair 256mb CMX256a-3200C2 memory.

[The alarm that you are getting is the CPU Fan Alarm you will have to diable it in the Bios. I am using a Vantec Aeroflow heatsink and my CPU alarm also is constantly on and was very annoying till I disabled it. My system still doesn't boot to XP yet as I have RMA'd bothe the MB and Ram. QUOTE]Originally posted by TritonB7
Hey Kaiguy the comp does continue to make sounds till I shut the system off. And I'm not sure how a standard pc tone sound would sound like, :(. But it does make beep followed by a lower pitched beep, and it repeats this till I shutdown the system.
(1) I cannot Access Bios.
(2) I have two sticks of Corsair 256mb CMX256a-3200C2 memory. I do not have any other ram available that will be compatible with this motherboard. Ive tried using one stick at a time in each of the slots. No Luck.
I highly think that both sticks not working is very unreal.
(3) and reseting bios by the jumper isnt working either.
I can probably try buying some diffrent memory, or returning the whole mobo and exchanging it for the same one.
By the way on my monitor when i turn the comp on it says 8x Extreme or something close to it while the comp is beeping. I doubt that, that has anything to do with it. This is my first MSI board :( , I've always been an Asus person but Im still open for MSI i'm sure I just recieved a faulty board.

P965 Platinum and Realtek RTL8111B problem

I have a dual boot setup on my computer: Windows XP and Fedora 7 Linux.
After booting Windows XP I will have to COMPLETELY UNPLUG the power supply from my computer before booting to Fedora 7 Linux. The reason: If I simply reboot or turn off the computer (simply turning off does not remove the power from the mainboard), then the Realtek RTL8111B onboard LAN is left in a state which prevents Fedora 7 Linux from being able to use the LAN. Fedora simply reports the LAN is not available. The solution, which I find unacceptable, is to completely turn off the Realtek RTL8111B on the P965 Platinum and use an old Realtek 8129 PCI network board.
A better solution would be for the MSI BIOS to reset all of the Realtek RTL8111B LAN chipset's bits to a valid state so that Fedora 7 Linux would be able to properly recognize and use the onboard LAN.
Again, if I COMPLETELY UNPLUG my computer's power supply Fedora 7 Linux always finds and uses the onboard LAN. It is only after using Windows XP and rebooting to Fedora 7 Linux without completely unplugging the power supply first that there is a problem. This would seem to indicate the MSI BIOS is not resetting the Realtek RTL8111B onboard LAN chipset to a clean state when it initializes the system upon booting.
I am using MSI P965 Platinum BIOS version 1.4
John

Uhm, I'm having exactly the same issue under linux.
The router's led will stay off and it looks like there was no network cable connected (Realtek Ethernet controllers are insmod'ed and everything looks fine).
The only thing I haven't tried is unplugging the power supply's cable ... weird.
I'm also upset about this problem >:(
MSI P965 Platinum - BIOS v1.4

P35 Platinum Corsair C4 Memory problems

Just recieved my brand new P35 Mboard, E6850 CPU, 4Gb Corsair XMS2 6400C4 Ram. Imagine my horror when the system wouldn't even POST!!! Took out two ram sticks and eventually got to bios. Changed the date & time and rebooted, would POST. Had to clear the CMOS to get to bios again. However it will not POST every time. The board came with v1.3 bios installed.
Is this a familiar problem? Based on all the various thread I have read lots of people have experinced the same. Should I flash the bios to v1.1, but will that support my E6850?
Or can I try some C5 ram, manually change settings and replace with my new ram running at C5 clock speeds?
Please help!!!!

Read this thread plz https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=110887.0
As it seems is the AUTO setting for the RAM. At least thats the case for the 1.4b3 version but I think its why all bioses from 1.2 and up have problems with ram.
Just set the ram divider manually don't let the AUTO setting.
Hope that helps

P45 Platinum and OCZ PC2-9200 Problem

My problem is that i dont really know if those DDR2 memorys (OCZ PC2-9200 1150Mhz / 2x1Gb) can be used on p45Platinum motherboard.
The thing is i already bougth them....
I tried to make them work but i culdnt, my best gues is (as long as the mother supports them) to flash the bios becouse i noticed that a lot of them have a improved memory compatibility.
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1479
shuld i give it a tray?
plz excuse my lame english....

I tryed them, it took a while for the pc to go functionaly on windows and when it did, i had a some lame latencys....
After rebooting, the pc wont start... i had leds indicating "broken memory or not properly installed". y used the jumper of the motherboard and the old memory.
What do i have to do to unlock the voltage item in the Cell menu? i still have it in dark-grey...

Some of this setings are not in bios. What bios should i use ? or what can i do to have acces to manualy configure this ???

Hello,
note that the P35 Chipset natively supports only DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 memory modules. From the point of view of the memory controller, DDR2-1066 is already overclocking.

One reason for inventing DDR3-RAM was to be able to reach higher frequencies. So you may have reached the limits here.

MSI P7N SLI Platinum and OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition

Hello,
I have a MSI P7N SLI Platinum nForce 750i SLI motherboard and I would like to inquire if it is fully compatible with OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition memory? Firstly, I do not seem to get the correct timings with the default settings, speed is not very good, after 5 hours of running Memtest86+ there was 30 errors. I have never had the memory crash and games seem to run fine, but the memory feels much slower than it should be. Is the memory supposed to work fine with this motherboard and I'm just imagining everything? I don't know if I'm also supposed to be worried by the errors Memtest86+ returned?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Quote from: Del UK on 07-September-08, 05:44:14
If memtest returned errors, yes
Well, there does not have to be a problem with the memory just because it returned errors. There could be many other explanations why there are errors.
Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 07-September-08, 08:04:45
Jacobl, please post full system specs. Read the >>Posting Guide<< to get an idea of the details you should provide.
How many modules of what capacity do you have? What are your current RAM-related BIOS settings?
If you have more than one stick of RAM, please test each stick seperately with memtest86+ and see if the errors are caused by one of the sticks only. Otherwise there is no way to tell if there is a compatibility problem or just a faulty memory stick.
Please post a link to the OCZ product site and also a screenshot of the CPU-Z "SPD" tab.
I have this memory: http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_sli_ready_edition_4gb_dual_channel.
This is the rest of the components as instructed by the forum post you linked to:

OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition 4GB Dual Channel
Gigabyte Geforce 8800GT 512MB PCI
500GB Western Digital SATA
SATA DVD burner
Windows XP SP3
Antec 500W PSU
I usually troubleshoot components step by step - eliminating all possible reasons until I have found the solution. My first step was to post here to find out if there are any known compatibility issues with the motherboard and memory. I adjusted the memory timings with a slight overclock because the motherboard did not load the default timings by default. I will start by adjusting the BIOS settings, check if the memory is inserted into the right DIMM slots and then test the memory sticks one by one. But to answer my own question: I think the motherboard and memory should have no compatibility issues and it must be something else.
Quote from: Freestate on 07-September-08, 23:06:36
I have the OCZ 6400 Fatal1ty modules 2x2 GB that is very similar of the ones you ask.And they are running perfectly but i must set the epp latency and voltaje values in BIOS! The simple modules of ocz are in the memory compatibilty list i thought that the SLI and Falal1ty modules are just the same with a little boost.
I had to set the right timings also. As far as I know, the SLI and Fatal1ty modules are probably the same, just with a little boost. I think it would be very strange if a module with the name "SLI-Ready Edition" and a Nforce 750i motherboard would not be compatible together.
Anyway, any other advice on what steps I should take? I assume by now that the motherboard and memory should work together without problem. Sorry if I started out bad by not following the posting guidelines on the forum.

865PE Neo2-FIS2R and Geil memory problem

With 512MB (2x256) of Corsair XMS 3700, the system is perfectly stable (runs 24/7 crunching for UD, also have done Prime95 torture test).
With 1-GB (2x512) of Geil PC4000 Ultra Platinum, the system is very unstable. It usually won't even boot fully into Windows without a BSOD (which vary) or if it does get into Windows it crashed soon thereafter.
If I put the Corsair memory back in (like I have them right now, to be able to use the system to post this message), the system is back to 100% stable, so it seems to be entirely a memory-related problem.

Have tried setting DDR voltage from 2.70 up to 2.85v for the Geil (approved up to 2.9v) with no apparent change in stability.
Have tried changing Spread Spectrum setting between enabled and disabled. Disabled seems to be better, but problem remains.
Have tried using SPD disabled with settings listed above, and SPD enabled (which sets timings at 2.5-4-4-8,8).
Edit: I'd asked for advice, but then realized that the very limited timeframe in which I could return the Geil would expire if I waited beyond business hours today. So I've RMA'd the Geil and have ordered a 1-GB Corsair TwinX XMS 3700 pack instead.

I've had similar problems to you but with Corsair TwinX LL's and if you read back a month in this forum you will see others have also with various memories on the 865 FISR.
The fix I found was Kingston memory but others have had problems with Kingston. There was a thread running a week or two ago attempting to document successful memory mobo combinations.
Bottom line, stick with what works on your mobo until MSI fix the incompatability/instability issues.
