770-c45 freezing.

my sys specs first:
msi 770-c45
amd phenom II x4 955 black edition
4gb ddr3 ( should be working at 1333, but they can't I will explain )
xfx 4870 1 gb
corsair tx 750w PSU
windows 7 64 bit ultimate.
now, like a month ago i posted a topic about the same, my sys ramdomly freezing, but because I;m one of those that hate to real manuals, I made a stupid mistake, I was using 3 sticks of memory, so I worked with 3 gb ddr3 at 1066, it worked fine, now aprox 3 weeks ago I bought the other stick like you guys says, but still the same problem, when I set the speed even to auto on the bios, which is 1333, the computer freezes randomly, it can be while I'm playing, whatching hd movies, using msn messenger. there's no pattern.
I tought I was the psu, i had a crappy 550w logisys, just crap, I't was kinda funny because when my system was under 50% of load, the psu smell was horrible, I was expecting fireworks soon  so I bought my new baby. the corsair tx750w, but I set the sticks at 1333, run amd fusion, run crysis, after 30 min, I had to do something else, close amd fusion, and boom, it frozze.
any idea guys what can be? 

actually my processor is running pretty well [ 35 idle -  45-50 load ]
might be the mobo?
I will be upgrading  to a 790gx pretty soon anyways to do crossfire.

  • MSI 770 C45 with Phenom 955 - Random freezing

    Hi,
    I recently bought the 770 C45 with an AMD Phenom 955 and I have had endless problems. I get random BSOD's, particularly when I am running processor intensive applications. I can’t seem to get the timings and voltage correct in the BIOS, I tweak it slightly and it seems ok for a couple of days then the BSOD's will start again, I tweak again and it’s fine for a few more days then problems start again. A vicious circle! Can anyone recommend BIOS settings I can try to help with this problem? I have looked all over the net and tried many suggestions but as of yet I cannot find the correct settings.   I have read plenty of threads on this forum before posting this but couldn’t find anything that I haven’t already tried.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Mark.

    Tried with 1 stick and the system was alot more stable, no BSOD's or any kind of freezing.  I ran prime95 overnight with 1 stick and all was fine, if I insert another stick the system is still stable but I get an error in prime95 after a few minutes.

    Re-test the each stick alone. [You may have defective stick]
    If each one is stable at his own, before fill all 4 DIMM's:
    * Leave Memory timings to Auto
    * Ensure 2T is used
    * Drop memory freq. to 1066
    * Apply memory voltage recommended by memory vendor

  • MSI 770-C45 DDR3 1600 Problems

    Hi people,
                    Sorry if this is a common problem but did look through the forum but couldnt quite find a problem like mine.
    I have followed custom pc computer build for a gaming rig and have had hang ups randomly which allow me to do nothing but switch off system.
     To cut a long story short i have tried everything to fix this but now it seems to be running ok as i have changed settings for ram to 9-9-9-24 and timing to 2T.
    I have also set the volts up to 1.77 (or nearby) but i am wondering if this is correct thing to do. I am stress testing it now with prime95 and hoping these setting are correct.
    M/B=msi 770-c45
    Mem=corsair dominator ddr3 1600 (2 sticks in same colour port which is blue)
    Proc=AMD athlon II 2 pro

    If the system is stable, then dont change anything.
    An AMD-cpu does NOT support 1600MHz -- that is, the memory controller can handle 1066MHz or so. If you set the memory frequency higher, then you are overclocking the system which may result in freezing or other system problems. By losening timings a bit (9-9-9-24 2T) you solved it. Now, keep on testing. If the lot stays stable, then don't change anything else.
    Also, use CPU-Z to see what timings/frequency-combinations your memory can handle.

  • 770-C45 - memory issues w/ Crucial DDR3

    Hi,
    I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to all this so apologies if any of my questions seem a bit daft...
    I recently put together 2 PC's with identical spec (770-C45 boards & 2x Crucial 2Gb DDR3 CT25664BA1339 - as detailed in my signature) & both had same issue where WinXP would freeze during the copying files stage of the installation. After reading through these forums, I saw others with similar problems had advised raising the DRAM voltage, so I changed mine from default AUTO setting in bios to 1.63v & this seemed to work - WinXP installed normally after that & all seemed OK. However, both PC's have recently been suffering occasional random freezes (can't ctrl-alt-del & nothing reported in Event Viewer) & since Crucial strongly advise sticking to the 1.5v default I'm wondering whether the increased memory voltage might be to blame?
    What would you advise is the correct bios configuration for my memory? I don't understand why it simply doesn't work at the manufacturer's recommended 1.5v. Is it going to be stable running at higher voltages like 1.63v or 1.67v? Should I set the memory timings manually (and if so, what are the standard settings as some people have said 9-9-9-24 1T & others seem to have 9-12-12-30 2T?) As I say, I'm not very experienced at this but I just want a stable reliable system. Thanks, Al

    Pushed both my systems really hard yesterday & no crashes whatsoever . If all goes well today then I think I will also cancel RMA for memory as I'm loathed to mess about with a PC that appears to be working perfectly well (despite running at 1066 instead of 1333). Not sure how big a difference lowering to 1066 makes to overall system speed but can't say I've noticed anything - tried running 3dMark to compare more precisely & the numbers don't seem that far apart (to my inexpert eyes anyway):

    Just using 1 mem at a time and tryed it in every slot,
    Tryed using another hard drive
    Tryed using VGA adapter with VGA cable.
    Tryed updating the firmware on the motherboard.
    Even tested the graphic cards in another computer with windows 7 and they worked perfectly.
    And nether of the above worked. and iam using windows xp atm and its working just fine.

    Hi,
    I hope wiping the drive works for yeah.
    As far as the psu is concerned, I agree with what the others are saying.
    Looking at your psu specs, you only have 24 amps on the 12V rail.
    Your video card requirements call for that but you have no head room.
    Total watts is not the only way to pick a psu.
    How those watts are deligated to the various voltages it puts out.
    Plus you want a psu that offers "clean" consistant power.
    When you get your w7 installed we can help you pick a better psu if thats what you want.

  • MSI 770-C45 with TV turner card problem

    My problem is that  it will freeze up after I start the TV turner program.  I have tried two different TV turner cards, both are of PCI-E 1X interface.  Both TV turner works fine in other motherboard of 780G chipset (Vista or Window 7).  Currently I am using Mygica 8557 in a 64 bit Windows 7 environment, the computer will freeze 30 seconds  after the TV software (TotalMedia) start . However, I can ran 3DMark2006 without any problem.  Before using Mygica 8557, I use another TV turner PE186Q , the case is even worse, the computer will freeze during driver installation (Vista 32bit) .  But the same card work fine with another brand 790GX motherboard.
    I would suspect it is the IRQ problem but since there is no adjustment option for PCI-E resouces in BIOS, there is nothing I can do.
    Did anyone have the same problem like mine ?

  • MSI 770-C45 Constant BSOD

    Hi,
    About a month ago I updated my video card drivers, bios and chip set drivers to their latest versions. After doing this my system has become increasingly more unstable giving me BSOD with PFN_LIST_CORRUPT and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT reasons. I am also getting a lot of application crashes (Explorer, Display Device, Direct Show) and freezes.
    The BSOD's seem to disappear sometimes for a few days (usually after I've gone into safe mode to check something) and then after a cold boot come back again.
    My first thought was that this is due to the display driver as the system can be completely stable when running from a DVI connection and then gives these BSOD's when the HDMI connection with HDMI audio is connected. However after lots of good support from ATI/AMD they are pointing the finger at other hardware (memory/motherboard).
    I have run memtest86+ against my OCZ Gold 12800 Dual Channel however it shows no errors. I checked my timings and found them to be off: had 7-7-7-16 in BIOS and 6-6-6-15 in CPUID (anyone know why these would be different). So I changed the settings to force 8-8-8 (could not change TRAS so it is still showing as 16 rather than 24). I also read a few other forum posts that boosted the voltage to the NB and DRAM... therefore I set the voltage to the NB CPU at 1.6 (max before red) and DRAM at 1.63 (max before red). I also changed the spread spectrum to disabled and forced the 1T/2T to 2T. However after all these changes, the system has become slightly more stable (would run a few benchmarks) but would then crash again while doing something random (playing a game or using notepad) with another BSOD with MEMORY MANAGEMENT error.
    Anyone know what settings I should be using for my OCZ3G16002G? Could the fact that the memory states 1.7 volts and I can only set 1.63? Could it be that I cannot seem to change the TRAS and it seems to auto set it to 16? Any other ideas?
    I'm at a loss with this system, any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    I have a 500 watt Coolermaster 80+ PSU. The memory is 2 DIMMS of OCZ3G16002G (by OCZ) rated for 8-8-8-24. I have no overclocking running... if fact this is a media system and thus I am running AMD cool and quiet.
    I am running Win 7 64 bit with latest updates.
    As further information, tonight I tried to change the memory timings again, but can only set the CAS, TRCD and TRP. I don't seem to be able to change the TRAS (states auto in bios and defaults to 16). When running benchmarks on the system tonight, the crashes appear less frequent but happen after the system is placed under more stress. I have also started to see two new BSOD messages: "Bad Pool Headers" and "Bad Pool Caller".
    Cheers,
    Gary

  • MSI 770-C45 locking up/blue screening/other errors on boot

    I recently built a new HTPC and have been having allot of problems getting it to boot.  It may take 10-15min of trying to boot up over and over with random blue screens, lockups, or errors that the C drive needs to be checked for consistency before Windows will finally load up and work.  At first I thought it was a bad drive, but according to Western Digital’s HDD Diag util, both the controller and the drives surface checks out OK.  I just wiped the drive out and reinstalled Windows 7 again, and this time went with IDE instead of AHCI, hoping it was a driver issue.  It only worked well for a day before the same problems started rearing their ugly head again.
    At this point I don’t know if I have a memory issue, a CMOS setting wrong (which are All Auto), or what.  I hoping someone here might have an idea of what this problem could be.

    According to MSI, my motherboard supports the following modules:

    http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&cat3_no=656&prod_no=1812
    This are the speeds of the DDR 3 RAM supported ,1600Mhz beeing done with overclocking ,because the CPU memory controller is no able to do 1600 by default.
    Quote from: Mavrick007 on 23-July-10, 02:39:51
    When I look at the test results for my Motherboard:
    http://www.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1812.pdf
     I see 1333 RAM list like PC11000 DDR III RAM (DDR-1333).  However, If I go to a site like Bestbuy or NewEgg and search for DDR3 1333, it shows results like Corsair - 2-Pack 2GB PC3-10666 DDR3 DIMM Memory Kit.  I see PC3-10666 and PC3-10600, but nothing for PC11000.
    The only mention of 1333 modules on the test report is for 1333 OC
    When you see the PC 11000 DDR3 or PC3 10666 specifications they are refering to the theoretical bandwidth ,it s related to the frequency of course ,but it s something else it s a data rate.Its wikipedia but it s good enough -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_3 Some specs are atipical like 10666 ,marketing thngyes
    Search the internet for memory that works ok with your CPU ,look for "real" DDR 3 1066Mhz or DDR 3 1333Mhz."real" means that that memory should be able to run at those frequencies without voltage increase over the default one.Usually when a memory vendor says you need to increase voltage for a specific frequency it means that you overclock and that there is no warranty they will work in your configuration.
    So you need DDR 3 1066Mhz or DDR 3 1333Mhz ,it needs to be AMD tested memory and it needs to be a known to work RAM on MSI motherboards timings wise.Look up on newegg and see what works.
    The performance gaps between 1066 and 1333 are small in real practice and you can overcome some loss by using a "real" DDR 3 1066Mhz , tweaking different timings ,using Command Rate of 1T for example ( you may "feel" it smoother in desktop than a 1333Mhz at 2T).

  • RAID 1 on a 770-C45

    I've got a 770-C45 with an Athlon II X3 435 and 4MB of 1333mhz DDR3 ram and Windows 7 installed on a SATA drive.
    I've added two 1.5TB SATA drives and tried everything that I can think of to set up RAID1 for data without success.
    Is there a guide anywhere that can explain it to me?

    Well you have 2 ways of doing it.
    1. Put the controller in RAID mode and create an ARRAY.
    Don't forget to install the RAID drivers!
    However I do not like this method, because if you switch controller the data can be lost and it's not a real hardware controller anyway.
    2. Connect the drives to controller in normal mode, then goto Computer-management, put them in Windows Raid1 mode, much more safe as it's RAID1 regardless of the controller used.
    See this guide for XP, should be about the same in Windows7: http://www.optimiz3.com/low-cost-and-reliable-network-attatched-software-jbod-raid-0-1-or-5/
    The speed of both is on par, but the last one doesn't need special drivers or controllers.

    As a note, I am troubleshooting a friends computer that he was setting up.  Further troubleshooting steps by me:
    Fredrik, I was unable to find the speed/memory handling option in the BIOs to change it down to UDMA2.
    I don't have a spare set of DDR3 Ram to test that out.  Have a spare PSU to test with but haven't done that yet.
    Switched out the DVD Drive to a Lite-On IT Corp. Model LH-52C1P DVD burner and it got stuck on 'Setup is loading files (Windows Executive)'
    Attempted to switch out the IDE Cable for the DVD Drive and found I couldn't put a new one into the Motherboard.
    Seems two pins (one over the other on the far left side) are bent just a little out of place and are loose.  Looks like I might need to exchange the board for a new one by the looks of it.

  • MSI 770-C45 Gameport compatibility

    The problem:
    I have an MSI 770-C45 mainboard and want to use the gameport on an Ensoniq ES1370. I can't get it to work in any way. I think the cause may be the mainboard reserving hardware address 201 for its own purposes (at least Windows XP tells me so, range 0x201 - 0x201 conflicts with "Motherboard resources" twice). Am I correct on this? Is there any way to get the gameport to work?
    Introduction:

    Try move the card to another PCI slot[board has 3 of them]
    Sorry, got a bit lost in all the sticky posts . Here goes:
    MSI 770-C45 mainboard
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 720 / 2.8 GHz
    Memory: OCZ Platinum AMD Edition Dual Channel Kit - 4 GB ( 2 x 2 GB ) - DIMM 240-pins - DDR3 - 1333 MHz / PC3-10666 - CL7
    Video card: SPARKLE SXX260896D3S-VP - Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 - PCI Express 2.0 x16 - 896 MB GDDR3 - DVI
    Harddrive: Samsung SpinPoint F1 Desktop Class HD642JJ - 640 GB - intern - 3.5" - SATA-300 - 7200 tpm -buffer: 16 MB
    Power supply: CoolerMaster Real Power M520 Modular PSU - ATX12V 2.3/ EPS12V 2.91 - 115/230 Volt - 520 Watt

    And I'll try the moving suggestion.

    That thing must be more than 10 years old and drivers are probably no good for XP. Creative took over the company so you would need to check with them if there are updated drivers.

    It works flawlessly under XP (Professional) on another computer with an AMD processor, though that computer is less recent . Think Athlon 2600+, GeForce FX5200 and so on.

    Why do you need the gameport? If its for a game controller, why not treat yourself to a modern USB one? As Henry says, I've not seen any devices that connect to a gameport for 10 years or so now...
    There is that; it may not be worth the effort to get the old gameport gamepad working.
    Quote from: Mike on 21-May-10, 07:37:29
    Yes, there are converters.
    >>>Gameport to USB adapters<<<
    =) Those are more expensive than a shiny new USB gamepad.

  • BIOS settings for MSI 770-c45 - overclocked with a Phenom II 550 Black Edition

    Hi,
    Wish I could say I knoew what these bios settings are, but I can't - I really need some help here.  Anyone who has this m/b knows that there is a dip switch to help you get a 10%/20% perf increase, but it fails for me...
    Anyone have some advice onthe appropriate settings?
    Many thanks,

  • 770-c45 won´t post.

    hi guys!!!
    well... yesterday i go to the shop and buy a whole system by parts. i get home to setup everything and i get nothing.
    the system turns on with the first led on and that´s all. fans are working and the lights of my case too.
    msi 770-c45
    amd athlon II X4 640
    asus eah5770
    4gb kit ocz ddr3 pc3-10666 gold (low voltage)
    the psu it's a generic one of "500W".
    i asked in the shop about this, and they told me that i shouldn't have any problem with that PSU.
    i tried everything already. 1 ram stick in every slot. without video card. without ram, without cpu... out of the case.
    nothing changes. always the first led is on. the fans too and no beeps at all. all power cables connected.
    i´ve been reading for hours and i just cant find any solution. so any help will be very apprecciated.
    greetings from germany.

    Well, that is what the shop says.  It does not mean anything.  After all it is a theory, nothing more.  What you need to do is an actual test.
    yeah, i know that. it will be an issue if the generic PSU doesn't have enough power. but to don't post at all??? even a beep without the ram or anything on it. (it should be) 
    my first thougth was to test another PSU but i can't, unless i go and buy a new one.
    i had read a lot about this MB and this same issue. but i cant find a why or a solution.

    Have you connected the CPU power cable?
    of course.

  • 770-C45 and CPU compatibility

    Hi,
    First, I'd like to thank the retarded genius who chose a terrible captcha which wasted me 8 minutes trying to decipher it before I could register :D
    Anyways, here's the real question since it wasn't very obvious from MSI's site.
    I'm planning to purchase the 770-C45 mobo and would like to use on it an AMD Athlon II X3 445 @ 3.1 GHz. According to the CPU support page of this mobo model, it's in the list. What's not very clear to me is if this processor *by default* is supported or not, or whether I'll have to upgrade the BIOS first. Well, you could say "duh, it's in the list so it should be supported". But the list, even though the CPU is on it, only mentions a BIOS version and I can't find which BIOS version the mobo is shipped with.
    Thanks

    Quote from: Bas on 04-October-10, 20:01:57
    There is a sticker on the BIOS chip telling you what BIOS is installed on the board.
    And the retard is me, thanks to spammers who like to abuse forums
    Yes, but I *don't have* the mobo yet. As I said, I'm planning to buy it (from online shop) but there's no info on the BIOS version nor can it be seen on the one pic they provide. That's why I'm asking. Obviously, one needs to have a supported CPU installed so it can boot up, do a BIOS flash if needed, and then install the desired CPU (in this case the 445). I don't have any other CPU lying around which will work with this model and MSI's site is as clear as mud on this one. They provide information about from which BIOS version and upwards a specific CPU model is supported, but don't say a thing with which BIOS version the specific mobo is shipped with so a person could know in advance if he needs to flash it or not. Most online shops don't provide info on the BIOS either, so go bang your head
    About the captcha, there are better ones and as effective as the one used here, yet much better readable. Have a look at ReCAPTCHA, used by a lot of sites
