MSI 785GT E63 questions...

Hi everyone, I just built my desktop and a few things don't seem to be working right. My basic setup:
MSI 785GT-E63
AMD Athlon X2 64 Windsor
Seasonic 520W PSU
4x1GB Crucial DDR2 800 MHz
1. I have two CPU fans because I bought an aftermarket CPU cooler. One of them doesn't work. Do I have to plug them in into certain places? The BIOS says only "System Fan 2" is working, not "Systen Fan 1".
2. How do I get it to boot using a USB stick? I plan on installing Windows 7 through USB and I can't seem to find an option for it. I am used to seeing something like "Boot Priority" or something. Do I just press a key on the screen that shows the whole MSI thing? Normally I press "DEL" for the BIOS menu. Should I press something like F12 for boot menu?
3. Is it common for new motherboards, or MSI motherboards, to ship with dead USB ports or did I wire up something wrong? I plugged my USB keyboard/mouse in the back and it didn't work, but I plugged it into any of the other 4 USB ports and it worked.
Additional Notes: It does boot into my old installation of Windows just fine. Do I just need to install the new drivers/utilities to make sure the motherboard works? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

1. CPU fan is only one, its goes to CPU FAN header.
2. See here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127129.0
The keyboard key for boot menu is F11
3. What "dead usb port"?

785GT-E63 Question

Hi, just read that quite a few MSI motherboards will be supporting the AMD six-cores when they come out. Unfortunately this particular motherboard wasn't on the list.
So my question is will MSI add support for six-core phenoms for this motherboard?

[Other 865 Series] MSI 865PE Neo2-V and Dual Channel Mode Question

Hello, I have a quick question regarding dual channel mode with my current motherboard. I have an MSI 865PE Neo2-V and am wondering if it is possible to enable dual channel mode while having three RAM modules inserted in the motherboard.
For example, I currently have one 512MB PC3200 module in my computer. If I purchase another 512MB module and run them in dual channel mode, will it be possible to buy a 1GB module or another size module, and still have all three slots run in dual channel mode? Or is dual channel only operational on this motherboard if only two of the three slots are occupied?
Thanks.

Dual channel requires an even number of sticks.

MSI GT72 memory upgrade/dual channel question

I just recently purchased a GT72 2QD laptop which has 12GB of ram installed (with 1x4GB module and 1x8GB module). The RAM is shown as running in dual channel, but it is asynchronous and I'm getting inconsistent memory bandwidth results when testing bandwidth with AIDA64. My question is, would I be able to buy an additional 4GB and 8GB module (I'm looking at the Kingston value ram), put them in the two free RAM slots inside the chasis and run the RAM in synchronous dual channel mode? If so, which slots should I put each module in to get the ram to run in proper dual channel mode? I would appreciate any help y'all can give me.

hope this information will help you...
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/cs-011965.htm?switch=tw#flex
quoted from Intel website above:
Rules to enable dual-channel mode
To achieve dual-channel mode, the following conditions must be met:
Same memory size. Examples: 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB.
Matched DIMM configuration in each channel
Matched in symmetrical memory slots
Configurations that do not match the above conditions revert to single-channel mode. The following conditions do not need to be met:
Same brand
Same timing specifications
Same speed (MHz)
The slowest DIMM module populated in the system decides memory channel speed.

My dual channel question

Hi everyone, i am new to this forum and this is my first post. I have, however, been reading posts for a bout a week or so as i have benn trying to find answers to some of my questions.
Here is my spec:
K8T Neo2-FIR pro motherboard
Athlon 64 3800+ CPU (venice core)
512mb kingston ram x 2 (in sockets 1 and 2)
Geforce fx 6600gt graphics card
First of all, i just wanted to say that this motherboard (in my opinion) is FAST!
I can only run my memory in single mode as i now know i don't have the right BIOS ver. I am too scared to flash it manually so i will stick with ver 3.3.
However, i had the chance to swap all my components into another brand new Asrock motherboard. The duel channel work straight from word go. I ran Aquamark 3 and i was getting a score of 25,000. Yet, on the MSI motherboard, in single channel mode i was getting 52,000.
So i swapped back to the K8T Neo2!
The plot thickens ..... a friend of mine also has this board but he doesn't have the venice core and therefore he can run it in dual channel, but, he only gets a score of 48,000 and that's using my components, same ram, graphics etc.
So here's my question:
Is it worth me flashing my bios to 9.2 and will i get better scores in games and better frame rates in games? .... the manual flash seems complicated and risky. I used the live flash to get 3.3a when i first got the board and that worked fine. If only they let you select which ver you wanted to live flash.
Last of all, i wanted to say that some of you have taught me quite a bit about my pc and i may even attempt overclocking (a little) one day. Tiresmoke you deserve credit for your help and work on this forum.

Im sure its the safest but didnt work for me. The winflash works fine as long as you know what you are doing and dont have a windows that does things you dont want it to.

Dual channel question

Hi,
Just want to know.....i have 2x512(matched pair) DDR 400 , how can i be sure that im working in dual channel ?
And if i add more 512 in the third ram slot ill still work in dual channel ?
Thx

Quote
to use dual channel you MUST have the same amout of memory in slot 3 as you have in slot 1 and 2.
Well if so then why is it that before I got my second lot of 512Mb of ram I had 512 in slot 1 and 256 in slot 3 and it was running in dual mode.
Then later I put 512 in 1,256 in 2,and 512 in 3 and it was still dual mode.
I have even had 256 in 1,512 in 2 and 3.
Regardless of where I put them it still runs in dual channel mode.

Single Channel Dual Channel Question, K8N Neo4 Platinum

Just putting together a machine for the Daughter. Using MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum board 7125-010, MSI NX6600GT PCIE 128 Video card with AMD64 3700 CPU SD and a 1 GB stick of Crucial dual sided memory, CT12864Z40B, DDR 400 3200. The rest of my parts arrived and just got it all together and booted into the Bios. The boot screen tells me the memory is DDR Single Cannel, 64 bit running at 3-3-8-3 and 2T timings. I have been into the Bios setup, but had let the memory boot at Auto settings. Is what I am seeing on this screen OK because there is only one stick of memory installed? Or am I just confused as normal? I was thinking it should read Dual Channel, but I am hoping that is just my backwards thinking at times. I wish all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks in advance for the guidance.
Pop's

JayBee; Thank you very much for the quick response. The Daughter decided to go with the 1GB stick to begin with so as to possibly add another 1GB stick later. I don't think she will need it myself, judging by her computer use. She does no gaming or multi-tasking, so there probably will be no need to add more memory in the future. I was just wondering if there is any noticable performance hit by using a single stick vs a pair of matched 512's?? I used the same MB as in my sig, but noticed the new one has an upgraded BIOS. I hope it is an improvement, because I have yet had no problems with my machine which has the V1.6 BIOS. This new one which is about 2 months newer than mine has a BIOS V1.A in the bios screen. At bootup it is identified as ( 6A61FM49C-OO ) what ever that means. I read the forum daily and have noticed you are very active and consice in helping folks out. I very much appreciate your time and effort that you give freely. Hope you have a very safe and happy holiday season and SANTA is very good to you. I think we as a group need to get SANTA up to speed on gift giving in the computer upgrade department.

785gt-e63 CPU VID voltages?

MSI 785GT-E63 mb, everything's set to auto, no oc'ing.
8GB of Kingston DDR2 ram, memory tested fine.
When I installed AMD Overdrive to check on voltages and things as I am getting BSOD with bug code 124 in Win 7 64 bit.
The one voltage that fluctuates is CPU VID, overdrive shows it should be at 1.400 and it fluctuates from 1.025 - 1.400, is this normal? It is now doing this with 2 different power supplies.
Current one: (Unknown Manfuacturer)
Model: PS-400W
DC OUTPUT
Max Current
+3.3V = 28A
+5V = 40A
+12v(1) = 20A
+12v(2) = 20A together both +12V = 20A
-12V = 1A
-5V = 0.8A
+5VSB = 2.5A
Other one I tried: Antec
Model: EA-380D GREEN
DC OUTPUT
+5V = 20A
+3.3V = 20A
+12v(1) = 17A
+12v(2) = 15A
-12V = 0.8A
+5VSB = 2.5A
Any ideas as to why I would be getting BSOD with Bugcheck 124?

Quote
Other than the random bugcode 124 Blue Screens the machine has been awesome.
Are there any particular usage scenarios in which those x124 BSODs appear to occur more frequently? For example: Do they rather occur in IDLE or in FULL LOAD conditions or when there are sudden transition between IDLE and LOAD states?

Quote
Yes CPU voltages go up and down, it's normal because C&Q does that.
As Bas said, the fact that the Core Voltage fluctates is normal. This is a power saving feature of your processor. These fluctuations should not cause any troubles under normal circumstances. That is why there is usually no reason to turn off the C&Q feature.
However, for testing purposes you can always turn this feature off, just to find out if that will yield any change regarding your BSOD problem. You are then able to determine whether or not your BSODs are C&Q related.

Memory Test: Running memtest86+ v4.10 from Ultimate Bood CD now with all 4 modules installed. Will run again with individual modules after if they pass.
In case you get any errors, slightly increase the DRAM/Memory Voltage to 1.95V to compensate the fact that you use four modules and counteract against the potential possibility that your board is slightly undervolting the memory.

Perhaps that will help you to do further analysis of the BSODs. Please also check the Windows error log and look for any indication of other exceptional errors occuring around the BSODs.
Temporarily disabling some of the peripheral onboard components may also help to find possible causes (e.g. NIC, onboard sound). You could also test a stand-alone video card (with low power demands) to circumvent the onboard video adapter for testing purposes.
Furthermore, I would also disconnect the optical drive completely for testing purpose and run a diagnostic test on the hard drive using a dedicated Samsung utility.

Trouble with Neo4 Platnum and AMD X2 with dual channel memory

I just installed an X2 3800+ in my Neo4 Platnum board. The board had a 3500 in it and ran fine. When I installed the X2, the machine will no longer POST if the memory is in the dual channel mode. I flashed to the latest BIOS (1.8) and it still does not work. I am using 2 Corsair XMS 2-2-2-5 Dimms each at 512MB. The PC POSTs fine if I place both modules in the Green slots. It does not work with 1 in green and 1 in purple (with either Dimms1-2 or 3-4). Has anyone else seen this?

Todd,
Your last post help me understand your situation a bit better. Here are some questions for you:
1- On your old system did these memory sticks work fine has a dual channel pair? Were these 2 memory sticks bought has a dual channel rated matched pair?
2- In your own words give me your definition of POST?
3- In your own words give me your exact detailed rendition of what happens when you try to post with dual setup. (How far do you get? Where does it hang up?)
4- Can you access your BIOS if booting with only one memory stick? If so, this is only for testing purposes, set your memory as 2.5,3,3,8, and 2T and add 0.05 volts to both your CPU and memory recommended voltages. Save, exit, and then shut down your system. Re-install the second stick of RAM in a proper dual channel slot. Re-boot and see what happens. If successful posting and booting in dual channel with this BIOS config go back to your BIOS and tighten your board and memory timings one at a time until you ID the perfect BIOS config for your CPU and RAM. Do the same with your CPU & RAM voltages.
AMD CPUs encompass their own memory control devices. There might just be enough variance between your older & newer AMD chips to reject dual configuration. If this is the case you may be able to correct it by using step for above. If this does not work, you sould borrow some suitable and proven dual channel memory sticks from a friend to see if the will work in your rig as dual channel?
Just keep on trucking & you'll solve it

Neo2 platinum Encountering Stability Problems /w dual channel memory

Hello,
Recently I built my first computer ever, see bottom. After getting windows installed I then had problems with installing other programs and general stability issues. I tried reinstalling windows and after the reinstall I got the same problems.
Something to do with the instability is when I start it up, and go into BIOS, it states my Athlon 64 3500+ as running at 2211, a half percent overclock. Also, even though I have the FSB set as 200mhz, when I go into CoreCenter on windows it states the FSB as being set 201mhz. In the nVidia system utility, it states my memory as running at 402mhz, and I had to crank that down to 400mhz to get stability, it allowed my to install programs without error, but there were still stability problems like crashes(blue screen, the computer just plain restarting without notice). I took out one of my memory cards, both of them work alone though, I've ran memory test utilities. That had a good effect and the computer runs fairly stable, but I still have problems, and I want to be able to take advantage of dual channel. I'm running my memory on auto and it's using the times of 2-3-3-6-2T.
Another problem I'm experiencing is the AC97 audio not being detected and loaded by windows, it will say I have no audio device, and the speaker will not show up in the notification area in the bottom right-hand corner. This happens inconsistantly.
-Thank You

hi bknoll,
welcome to the forum.
1) i wouldn't worry overmuch at the 201 issue.
2) Quote

which test utilities did you use, Don't quiet understand Quote

3) It may be worth checking the Mushkin site or any documentation you have to verify that the auto settings agree with the quoted settings for the modules. It's not unkown for errors to occur when the memory controller on the CPU to misinterpret the SPD chip setting on your sticks - this is where the auto settings come from. Some memory like certain corsair modules need to run at different settings on AMD64, thus auto timings must be overidden,
4) Have you installed the Realtek drivers from the CD, & enabled onboard sound in Bios. When these are done normally there's the MSI Sound Effect manager in control panel. you just need to set your speaker config in the Windows Sounds & Audio Devices.
5) Usual question What power supply are you using as been underpowered on the 12v rail in particular can be the cause of crashes,

P7N SLI Platinum Unstable with over 2GB ram and/or dual channel memory on.

Hello need some help or to report something to MSI regarding blue screens, freezes when booting Vista 64 (SP1 + all fixes installed) with more then 2GB ram. Single channel mode works (either 1 stick of 2 GB or 3 sticks of 2GB) and is rock stable. Booting with 2 x 2 or 4 x 2 yields instability and blue screens.
I read over Microsoft's hotfix KB929777 however it appears this patch was applied during SP1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929777 - when I attempted to apply this hotfix I got the message this update does not apply to your system.
Memory tested in other gaming system using 4 sticks of G.Skill 1066 DDR2 ram and still have the same issues. Other forums like Evga.com, Tom's hardware and 411overkill.com tend to suggest some problem with this new bios version 2.0, written by Nvidia. Some others mention possibly an Nvidia nforce driver issue.
Therefore, under duress during testing - with 1 stick or 3 sticks of ram, all tests perfect and passes all stability tests, good marks in Sandra, plays any game. With 2 or 4 sticks of ram, very unstable won't stay up but for seconds.
Any ideas? (Tested 7 ways until Sunday!)
My other rig, rocks solid and stable with Vista 64.... It's the Evga new mainboard 780i with triple SLI (132-CK-NF78-A1), 8gb of Gskill 1066ddr2, MSI 8800GT (x2 sli mode) Q6600 @ 3.2 ghz - Raid 0 on dual WD caviar 640 gb/sata 3.0gb/sec. Seasonic 700w p/s. 8gb of memory and not a hiccup. Ram 2.0 volts, cpu @ 1.36v. Will handle the memory from both systems with out fault.
Considering I can swap memory back and forth and confirm it's not the sticks, swap graphics boards (own 3 of them!) and rule out that....
Fyi. Any help is appreciated!

Dump question, but have you pickup the correct update e.g. for 64bit? ==> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=91672C7C-614B-404C-850C-377541E93C18&displaylang=en
"This comes inside SP1 for vista 64, as noted with my other system during the build. "
Better double check it.
Install all four memory sticks and do a memory check with >>Memtest86<< 1st, ensure that no error(s) will comes during testing.
Also how about that?:

Remove your OC then see how its goes.
"When the system boots in single channel mode (only 2 or 6gb of ram meaning 1 or 3 sticks installed into the 4 slots) its' rock stable. When it boots into dual channel mode (2 x 2 sticks or 2 x 4 sticks) extemely unstable. "
That means, timings are too tight, or they need a bit more vcore help, or some of the memory stick has failure.
"MSI P7N SLI Platinum - MS-7380 - Bios 2.0 on Vista Ultimate 64-bit - all updated."
That BIOS is not for your board, you should use 1.xx

Dual Channel Ram in w510

I've got a w510. On Lenovo's site it says that it's capable of dual channel. i've got 2x2GB right now in my system at 1066. i ordered 2x4GB at 1066. my question is
will i still be able to run dual channel?
and if so, how do i arrange the ram being that two slots are in the back and the other two are on the other side underneath the keyboard.

Ram came in this morning. got lucky on the first try with getting it to run dual channel.
when i opened the ram slots on the back of the pc i placed a a 4gb stick on the left side.
then i lifted the keyboard for the other ram slots and they're placed on top of each other. i took the one on top out and placed a 4gb stick in there. then i placed that 2gb stick that was there and placed it in the only slot remaining. booted my pc and on the start up it said it was installing some stuff and something about dual. and then to make sure i checked cpu-z and it showed i was running dual.
this helped a bit on how to install the ram

Hello!
Speaking of info. - Please describe your system in some detail, and do not forget to mention the specs of your PSU. There is a sticker on the PSU box.
Generally HDMI transports sound, yes.
Thanks for the reply.
My set-up is pretty simple.
Besides the new MB and CPU (which i got at a great deal on $115 for both) all the components are being recycled from other PCs.

K9N4 SLI: Support of 3 GB in dual channel

Hello,
This is a great forum
I've a MSI K9N4 SLI (MSI 7325), AMD Athlon 64 x2 3600+ oced to 4000+ and two stick of one gb of ram.
Each module is inserted in different channels.
I want to add a new module of 1 gb ram, so my system will have 3 GB in total. So my question is: If I add a new module, will the memory work in single or dual channel? If yes or not, will at least work in single channel?
My system score 4,9 as processor and 5,9 memory. I'm using Vista x64 and all works good but I need a little more speed.
Thanks!

If even can works will be in single.
Use 1,2 or 4 memory modules.
For best performance and troubles free use 2x matched memory sticks only.
