PT880 NEO-FSR Blue screen / Random reboot during games

System Specs:
P4 3.2GHZ EE
eVga 6800 GT
Enermax EG565P-VE FMA V2.0 (24P) 535W PSU
512MB PQI Ram (Fry's) (single channel, single stick of memory)

Problem Description:
About month ago started blue screening with "Bad_Pool_Caller" when playing Everquest2   
Troubleshooting steps taken:
1) Tested Memory (memtest86 latest version as of this posting)
   a) 1 stick tested with around 13 errors in Random test #7
   b) 1 stick tested just fine / no errors
RESULT: Removed bad stick of memory 
2) Original PSU was 350W POS
   a) Upgraded to Enermax described above
RESULT: Gaming is slightly more stable  
3) Verified airflow and temp was ok
   a) I have 4 Case fans moving air front to back
   b) Cleaned all dust covering case fan openings for maximum airflow
   c) I have a stock CPU heat sync and fan from Intel
   d) I have run 1 week without any case cover to avoid overheating
RESULT: No change, Games still unstable 
Current Problem: My computer randomly shuts down when playing very processor / memory / disk intense games. 
Current Solution: <this is where MSI forum readers come in>
Any help is GREEEEEEEEEEATLY appreciated.

Jeez, i know just what you mean.
I play...er, try to play World of Warcraft. Every 30 minutes or so, i'd get a game crash and a WoW Error Message. The message read, "memory error" which I later learned from their forums was referred to as "memory dump". I figured Blizzard rushed the game out and left some flaws behind in the process. Then the crashes became more and more frequent until the game finally became pretty much unplayable. i then decided to download Microsoft's Memory tester.
About half of all my passes resulted in an error on the LRAND test. Which is bad. I thought, "crap, i must've gotten bad memory" I tested them both individually and found that i could minimize the errors by putting one memory stick in one slot and the other in another slot. It was passable with crashes every 20 minutes or so. However, recently its been getting worse and is near unplayable.
My Friend brought his PC (a bargain basement eMachine) to my house yesterday and I decided to mem test my Corsair memory on his PC. Sure enough 10 passes, with 0 errors. So I ran the larger memory, the 1024s...again 0 errors. I ran his memory for fun 0 errors. Switched PCs. Ran the mem test on HIS memory in MY pc, 5 errors. My Corsairs in my pc, 3 errors. My 1024 in my pc, 7 errors.
I treat my PC properly, I keep the temeratures in check, keep current drivers, buy the best equipment i can afford on my budget, and when i work on it...I always make sure there is no charge in the power supply left over and I make sure and use my anti-static wristband. The problem, it would seem, is the PT880 just isn't memory friendly.

  • 975x PUE random reboots during games

    Here is my setup:
    MSI 975x PUE
    Core 2 Duo E6300
    2GB Gskill 800mhz DDR2
    X1900XTX  (PCI-e)
    300GB HDD
    Xfi Fatality
    Windows XP And Vista
    My system seems to reboot randomly when playing games.  No warning, No errors, just straight reboot.  It could be 5 mins into the game or 45mins into the game.  I have tried formatting and reinstalling windows XP Pro, I also tried installing Windows Vista Ultimate,  I made sure the voltage in the BIOS is setup correctly for the memory, I run memtest86 for almost 24 hours with no errors, I run Windows MemTest for about 20 hours with no errors, I run PRIME2004 for about 9 hours with no errors, I tried different RAM, I bought a new hard drive, I replaced the Power supply with a brand new Antec 650 watt.  I updated the BIOS.  There are games which I have played for a few hours with no reboot, Diablo 2, Neverwinter Nights 1, Quake 3, Counter Strike Source.  Games that reboot the system all the time are Command and Conquer 3, World of warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online Beta, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, and Neverwinter nights 2.   I have also tried installing Ubuntu, and the install goes fine, but I cannot install the video drivers, and I get a PCI error every time I boot up, the error is too quick for me to take a note of.

    rma the orig gskill, corsair has always worked for me, kingston hyperX should work also, or just read through the forums for what is working for others, cheaper is not always better, it appears the 975 is picky about ram.
    That would lead me to believe the MB is defective then, not the RAM. If the MB is fussy about RAM why would the onus be on the RAM manufacturer to replace the RAM until something works instead of the MB manufacturer, who is the source of the problem, to properly design their MB?
    FYI I'm also having issues with my 975x PUE where it won't boot with neither my very high quality OCZ RAM nor with just basic Crucial RAM. They've RMA'd my first board and the new one fixed my original problem (wouldn't even initialize POST) only to give me different problems. MSI royally screwed-up with that board and I hope they find a solution quick because I'm not very enthusiastic about being beta tester for hardware I pay hundreds of dollars for.

  • PT880 Neo-FSR Reboot During Gameplay

    First, thanks to all who will read and hopefully reply to this post.  Your volunteer tech support is much appreciated.
    I recently build my first computer (specs in sig) and am currently having issues with my system rebooting during any gameplay that utilizes my graphics card.  After 4-5 minutes of gameplay my game will freeze for 10 seconds or so and then my monitor will lose signal and my system appears to reboot but never actually reboots.  In BIOS my cpu temp appears to be running in the low 50s C and case in the high 40s C though Motherboard Monitor shows a steady cpu temp of 44-48 C and a case temp of 34-37 C.  While this would appear high to me, I don't believe it is the culprit as I have used fairly cpu intensive apps in XP without any crashes or reboots.
    I've read numerous threads on this board and others offering several potential fixes for issues with ATI cards and I have tried the following: set AGP to 4x from 8x, disabled fastwrites, changed AGP frequency from 66.6 to other settings, upped AGP voltage to 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8v, upped DDR voltage to 2.7v, upped Northbridge voltage to 1.68, disabled and enabled hyperthreading, and tried various incarnations of the catalyst drivers.
    I also ran memtest86 for one pass tonight and returned 13,538 errors, though this is the same memory I was using in my previous system with this same card and a slower (P4 1.5 ghz) processor and I never received these reboots during games.
    I have not attempted to flash my bios to a more current version because as this is my first time building a computer I am not at all confident that I wouldn't screw something up in the process and end up with a dead board; not to mention in all the similar threads I've read, updating the bios hasn't fixed this problem.
    I've read that my +12v (16A) may be too low for a prescott 3.2; however, since my system seems to do fine with everything except for games, I'm inclined to believe that this is an ATI/MSI compatibility issue rather than a power supply issue.  That being said, I am very much a newbie at this and will take any and all advice given seriously, but would like to avoid shelling out $50-60 for a new PS after I just spent ~$300 for a new CPU/mobo.
    Thanks again for reading and responding and I'll do my best to answer any follow up questions to details I'm sure I missed.

    Well my problem is now officially more confusing now :(
    I installed my new memory and I'm still getting relatively the same number of errors in memtest test #7.  I tried numerous different configurations such as single vs. dual channel, 333mhz vs. 400mhz RAM speeds, voltages, etc. with no significant changes.  My gaming is a little more stable but it appears this is only true in multiplayer games.  Here's a breakdown of the games I tested:
    Halflife2 single player: Played for 10 minutes, no crash
    Halflife2 multiplayer: Played for 15 minutes, no crash
    Doom3 single player: played for 2-3 minutes, game froze and system became non-responsive
    Starwars Battlefront single player: crashed 30 seconds in, game froze and monitor signal was lost
    Starwars Battlefront multiplayer: played for 10-15 minutes, no crash
    Wolfenstein Enemy Territory multiplayer: played for 10-15 minutes, no crash
    I would say that my problem occurs whenever I play a game that taxes my system more since the multi settings are generally lower than single player; however, that doesn't explain why halflife 2 single player works.  Since my RAM is new I would say the problem is my vid card except I was using this same vid card on my last system with these same games and never got these kinds of crashes.
    The only other thing I can think of is that maybe my RAM slots are bad since my brand new RAM generated the same number of errors during the same test in memtest.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?

  • PT880 Neo-FSR P4 3.2G with HyperX HELP

    I have been reading the forum for 2 days now    and I'm still unable to find a solution to my problem.  I have tried every suggestion I've found in this forum with no success.  So, as a software dude I'm not the best hardware guy and I'm requesting help from any hardware guru in here. 
    Problem:
    PC reboots constantly or locks up or blue screens this started after I loaded WinXP pro SP2.
    Setup:
    PT880 Neo-FSR (7043)
    P4 3.2G
    Kingston HyperX KHX3200A/512R
    SATA 250GB HD
    Tried Solutions:
    1.  Changing DRAM voltage ranging from 2.6v - 8v (problem got worse or persisted)
    2.  Tried running in different turbo modes. (problem got worse or persisted)
    3.  Tried changing DRAM clock to all kinds of settings.. (problem got worse or persisted)
    4.  Did not try changing any DRAM timing cause I'm not sure of the effect... 
    5.  Upgraded BIOS rev to 2.0 in hoping to fix the issue.  (no effect on problem)
    6.  Will contact Kingston next week for recommendations.
    Thanks in advance for any help suggested besides purchasing new RAM 

    Have you tried update the VIA drivers?

  • IPhone 6 128GB Blue Screen, Random restarts/crashes

    Alright, i noticed this the day i bought my iPhone 6. Ten minutes of it being in my hand, i got a blue screen and my phone reset itself. Throughout the day it did it about 7 more times. It does this everyday. I have brought it to AT&T and told them i want a one for one swap since I'm still within my 14 day grace period but they have none in stalk, and i don't want to send it to apple because then i know that they would be giving me a refurbished unit. Im not into that, if i bought a new phone, i expect it to remain a new phone. I have tried multiple resets, backups and restores and even setting up as a new iPhone. GFU mode didn't work either. Any help or do i need a new unit in general? It did this in both IOS 8 and IOS 8.0.2. My 5S i gave my beautiful wife never did any of this.

    Your phone is defective. I struggled for a week trying to get  my Verizon iPhone 6 to backup to iTunes issues (app backup would crash iTunes) and the phone would randomly freeze, give a blue screen and reboot several time when clicking on apps like Facebook. I went to Verizon, who referred me to an Apple Store. The folks at Apple looked at the event log on the phone, and replaced it on the spot, no questions asked. The tech told me that several batches of the Iphone 6 Plus had these  same issues, though my IPhone 6 64gb was the first he had seen with bad hardware and/or corrupted hardware.  Save your frustration-go directly to an Apple Store and get a new phone

  • Security Suite Blue Screen after reboot

    I am a new customer for verizon fios and have installed/uninstalled the security suite several times.  I am using Windows XP.  I get the blue screen after reboot no matter what I do.  It goes away as soon as I uinstall or choose last known good windows install (using F8 key during reboot).  Is there a known issue. 

    #1 On the blue screen, was their text?
    #2 If so, what did it say?
    #3 Make sure that you do have another software firewall installed (other than one built into Windows).
    b) But the one in Windows, you should disable.

  • PT880 NEO FSR and Audigy 2 ZS

    Has anyone with this motherboard been able to get this card working without constant and annoying crackling/stuttering during gameplay? I've tried everything mentioned on the Creative forums to resolve the issues I'm having, but nothing has worked. I'm starting to think it's the motherboard chipset.

    I considered that too until I saw phishingtime's sig:

    He's running the card with no problems with a weaker PSU than I have. The only difference is he's running BIOS version 1.9 and I can't get anyting other than 1.6 to run stable on my computer. When he originally replied that he was having no problems with the card, he was also running BIOS 1.6.

  • PT880 NEO-FSR always needs to autodect hard drive

    I have a new PT880 NEO-FSR motherboard which takes 30 seconds to autodetect the harddrives every bootup.
    In the bios, it recognizes my hard drive but does not seem to keep it stored and upon rebooting displays "autodecting pri hard drive..press to abort". This happens every time I boot.
    I have an u-ata 100 Western Digital hard drive that I've stuck on other systems and had no problem.
    My experience with other motherboard/bios is that when I set autodetect in the bios, it recognizes my hard drive, stores that value and upon rebooting does not need to autodetect my hard drive once more.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    manually set the HDD specs, the heads, sectors, and stuff are printed on the disk itself, i almost never use auto detect because it can slow down boot time.

  • Why do I have a light blue screen randomly appear?

    In the middle of using my MacBook, a light blue screen randomly appears. It disappears if I shut the screen and then open it again. It was happening every few months, now it's happening a couple of times a day.

    Hi, got exacly the same problem, the screen turns light blue every now and then especially when watching a video on the internet and I can't shut it down. Well, I noticed that it was happening when the mac book pro had been running for a while and was particularly warm, then one day I pointed a fan towards the device to cool it down and after a few minutes internet came back. I do the same thing all the times the screen goes off and I always sort it out, it must be about overheating.

  • Deskjet 6940 causing a blue screen and rebooting PC on bootup

    I have a strange problem with a clients PC.  Whenever it boots up, if the Deskjet 6940 is connected via a usb cable it blue screens and reboots.  The PC was recently updated to Service Pack 3, at first I thought the amount of memory was too low (248 mb, with 8 shared with video).  So I upgraded the memory to 1 Gb but it still happens, if the printer is not plugged in it goes into Windows and works fine.  if I then plug the printer in it reboots immediately.
    I've tried different USB sockets, I've tried uninstalling the drivers and all the HP software, rebooting and downloading the latest drivers from HP.  This seemed to cure it for a few hours, but later that same day the client called me again to say it had rebooted again.
    I have spoken to HP support in the UK and was told that HP have issues with Service Pack 3 of XP.  I found this hard to believe and also embarrassing - this is a new IT support contract and I recommended that all the PC's were upgraded to SP3.

    I would suggest you upgrade teh drivers for your motherboard and also update the BIOS of your motherboard too and see if that resolves the issue.

  • MSI-7043 (PT880 NEO-FSR) Boot Problem

    I just installed this motherboard which I purchased on eBay from someone who swears it was working fine before.
    I installed it in the following configuration:
    MSI-7043 PT880 NEO-FSR Motherboard (Rev. 2.0) with BIOS version 2.0
    RaidMax Scorpio case with a 520-Watt RaidMax Power Supply (its older, but digital P/S tester says everything is OK)
    2x1Gig SuperTalent DDR400 RAM <- Was working fine in Compaq PC
    Intel P4 2.4Ghz Prescott CPU (FSB533) <- Was working fine in Compaq PC
    ThermalTake TR2-M12 CPU cooler <- New
    LG DVD-RW Lightscribe 22x IDE Drive <- New 2 weeks ago, was working fine in Compaq PC
    Seagate 320 Gig IDE Drive <- 2 Monthes old, was working fine in Compaq PC
    (Drive is partitioned 1-250Gig Bootable & 1-70Gig)
    Chaintech Nvidia FX5200 AGP Video Card <- Worked fine in Compaq PC
    High quality round 80-pin IDE cables
    No SATA drives installed at all
    The system POST's fine and recognizes all installed drives, but only occasionally will boot to CD-ROM, and will never boot to hard disk, just sits there with a flashing cursor. When it did boot into CD-ROM, I was able to boot Linux and browse hard drive fine. Booted once into MEMTEST and it ran for hours fine with no errors.
    I have tried defaulting BIOS several times, tried several configurations for boot sequence and using F11 Boot Menu. No matter what I do, booting from CD is hit and miss (1 out of 4 times will boot) and it will NEVER boot from the hard drive.
    Interesting thing is if I disconnect the hard disk, it will boot to the CD-ROM EVERY time (sort of), but I do have to wait until it says no boot record found on CD or floppy, then press ENTER to try again it boots
    After searching for through other posts, I have tried increasing the DDR RAM voltage to 2.6v with no change.
    Any ideas??? is there a BIOS limitation to the boot partition size of the hard drive, if so why would this affect booting to the CD?

    Ummm... never had that trouble before... It should at least start booting, or at least recognize the boot sector has a valid boot record.
    Those are all valid ideas, and I appreciate the input.
    BTW, I am not a newbie. I am a telecom, network, and computer technician with almost 20 years of experience. This is just the first time I have had a problem with MSI boards, I use them all the time and they generally work flawlessly. I understand operating system licensing, OEM versions, 32 vs 64 bit, and how to copy files from one drive to another using multiple different ways. I was just hoping that there was something simple going on that I was missing that someone would just say "Yeah, turn XXXXX feature off in the BIOS".
    I put an older 48x CD-ROM drive and a Western Digital 40 Gig in it and it worked beautifully, in the middle of installing Kubuntu Linux right now.
    I actually resized the boot partition down to 130 Gig with Linux Parted Magic and it booted OK.
    I think I actually had two problems with the previous setup:
    1) Boot partition was too large for the BIOS, the entire partition should not exceed the 134 Gig boundry (different sites say anything from 130-138 Gig) for the BIOS on the motherboard according to some articles I googled.
    2) The LG DVD-RAM drive was just too slow spinning up for the bios to recognize the boot partition on the CD or DVD.
    I resized the partition back up to 250 Gig and put the DVD-RAM, Hard Disk, Processor, RAM, and video card back into the Compaq, it is a fast (by standards of the day) and stable machine, I was just looking for a way to add some expansion capabilities for more PCI cards and possibly a SATA drive. Anyway put a 2.0 Ghz Celeron, 768 Meg of DDR266 RAM, a CD-RW drive, and a Matrox G450 Dual-Head 32 Meg AGP card I had laying around in place of of the old and will just delegate this to a Linux box.
    So far all seems fine, think I will just hold off putting too much into this machine since I was planning on building a new one this summer after USB 3.0 came out.
    Thanks.
