A75A-G35 Overclocking issues

Hello Everyone,
I put together a new Llano rig not too long ago with an AMD A8-3850 APU, 8GB GSKILL Ripjaws X DDR3 1600 memory, and the MSI A75A-G35 motherboard. With the stock BIOS, 1.0, I could use the OC Genie function to quickly overclock my components. I updated to the latest BIOS because it fixed a problem with the CPU fan failing after sleep mode. So now I have the newest 1.4 BIOS available and I try using the OC Genie function and it fails. The computer reboots and says that the previous overclock failed. I have tried tweaking the settings myself but it still gives me the same error. Sometimes it even gives me three beeps before POST indicating that the overclock failed. When I reset to defaults everything is fine. Keep in mind, I do not have a separate video card installed but do have two PCI cards, a sound card and wifi card to be exact. I've tried everything I can think of. Does anyone have any ideas of why it won't overclock anymore? Or am I just out of luck?
CPU: AMD A8-3850 Llano
RAM: GSKILL Ripjaws X 2x4GB DDR3 1600
PSU: Cooler Master 500W PSU
HDD: 1TB Hitachi Drive
GPU: None installed
Expansion cards: sound card and wifi card
ASUS DVD burner
Thanks,
jp

That ram is supposed to be a 9-9-9-24 timing. Most boards default to much lower. I had the same situation recently. Also, the auto oc tried to fry my memory by boosting the voltage on it to 1.7 when it ran fine overclocked at 1.5.

A75A-G35 C6 mode issue

Hello all,
I have an MSI motherboard with following specs:
Rosewill Stallion Series RD500-2SB 500W ATX12V v2.2 Power Supply
MSI A75A-G35 FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
AMD A8-3850 (using integrated APU graphics)
2 x 4GB DDR3 G.SKILL Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL @ 1600Mhz
1TB WD Blue Caviar SATA HDD
80GB WD SATA HDD
SATA DVD-ROM drive
I have a problem similar to one another person has with the A75A-P35. Windows (regardless of the version used) reboots at random times. I have tested the memory and it is good. So are the HDDs and DVD drive. Apparently, I've run into the same issue that when C6 mode is enabled, it will cause Windows to randomly reboot without any warning or Windows Event information. All video ceases and the screen goes blank.
I've tried re-flashing my BIOS thinking I had a bad flash, but it didn't work. I have since disabled C6 Mode. I haven't had any further stability tests. But it always seems to happen when the CPu seems to be trying to "sleep". Any suggestions?

[Solved] A75A-G35 gives no video signal over HDMI, resolution over DVI limited

Hello community,
following problem: I have been using my A75A-G35 board with an A4-3400 Llano APU, the APU has been connected to a 19" BenQ FP91GP monitor via a DVI cable. I got its maximum resolution of 1280x1024 with no issues.
Now I have purchased a 24" Dell U2415 monitor with a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 and wanted to connect it to my computer. However, I got stuck:
1. I get no signal whatsoever using the HDMI output and a HDMI>HDMI cable. I have tested a different computer and connected it to the Dell with the same cable successfully, so the cable and the monitor should be fine.
edit: Disregard the following as the problem with the DVI cable appears also with the other computer. The problem is therefore just the fact that the HDMI output of the board doesn't work!
2. I get a signal with a DVI>DVI cable + DVI>HDMI adapter. I can access the BIOS, the boot manager and see the boot screen, however once the desktop should be displayed the screens turns black and the monitor keeps switching to standby and back on again, the screen staying black all the time, however. But before installing the driver package (for chipset and video, downloaded from the MSI website), I could see the desktop with a resolution of 800x600. Also, if I boot into safe mode, I can see the desktop and increase the resolution up to 1280x1024. Higher resolutions up to 1600x1200 are available, however selecting any of them results in severe screen flickering.
3. If I boot my Linux install, I have almost the same behaviour. I see the boot messages but then the screen turns black when the desktop should appear. However, if I connect the old BenQ monitor to the VGA port, I get a signal on both screens, however both screens have the resolution 1280x1024 and I cannot increase the resolution of the Dell, because if I try to, the screen turns black again. Lower resolutions than 1280x1024 are possible, though. Note that the "second monitor trick" does only work with Linux, with Windows I get only a black screen on both monitors.
As a side note, the DVI cable I'm using is a DVI-D single link, so the maximum resolution it supports is actually exactly the resolution of the Dell, 1920x1200.
Thanks for any hint,
Photon

your welcome!
when you said your problem and the symptoms I thought that board sounded familiar as alot of people when it first came out that we had to explain that to them so I had a look and yes it had the jumpers to switch ports for its digital display display signal to be routed to another port so i thought that was the cause!
have fun with your board now you have it in HDMI mode!

A75A-G35 Problems

Hi all, this is my first post so plz bare with me.
I have an issue regarding a A75A-G35.
I have built a new machine today with various parts (psb) and for some reason the motherboard gives out 3 beeps with the same amount of pause between each beep when powered up. The machine powers up with no problems and nothing is burning/overly hot. I currently only have 1 brand new stick of ram in DIMM2 but the machine even fails to POST (monitor remains dead on start up) which means i can't flash bios with the new 1.4V. Please help.

How to increase cpu voltage on A75A-G35?

Please tell me how to increase cpu voltage on A75A-G35(I changed pstates in BIOS but voltage not changed!)? and then tell me range of voltage in 1-7 Pstates?
Thanks.

Quote from: MSI service FAQ
Q: I cannot adjust the CPU Voltage on my A55/A75 motherboard?
A: Due to a hardware limitation on this platform, you cannot adjust the CPU voltage. However, you can adjust the NB voltage which is the same on this platform.
(http://service.msicomputer.com/html/popup/techsup/formviewer.asp?esoformid=2987)
The NB voltage setting is below the "Advanced DRAM Configuration" and the only way to increase a cpu relating voltage on that board.

A75A-G35 will not boot

Hi
Have the motherboard A75A-G35 (MS-7695 ver1.0 printed on it)
It was working without problems for a few month. Suddenly it stopped to boot. Hangs with BIOS check code (right-bottom corner of screen) - 99 (Super IO Initialisation?).
Tried to clear CMOS - no results.
Tried to boot with only one memory module installed - no results.
When plug-in PCI card: ST-Lab A142, Ultra ATA /133 (Silicon Image Sil0680) (for my PATA devices, not connecting them) - it hangs with status B2 (Legacy ROM Initialisation?)
When plug-in PCI card: 3 Port FW100 Firewire IEEE1394 Agere FW323-03 (alone, w/o other PCI-cards plugged(usually they are plugged both)) - it stops with 99 code too.
I don't know which status is earlier 99 or B2, but I thinks it doesn't matter in my case, because halts w/o any cards too.
PC speaker beeps once(short) as usual, keyboard indicators blink once(after beep) as usual to.
Even tyied to boot w/o keyboard.
Tried other Power Supply Unit - no result.
What I can do to resurrect it?

A75A-G35 Problem installing Radeon 5850 and 5870 Video Cards

Hello,
I have a A75A-G35 motherboard with an AMD A4 processor.
When I install the first Radeon card (radeon 5850) the driver finds the card (no problem).
When I install the second card (Radeon 5870) the driver cannot install and the system reports an error.
I have checked to be sure the cards are properly seated, can anyone suggest a solution?
Thank you!!

Why do you want to mix a 5870 and a 5850? Crossfire will work badly on this mainboard as it can only provide X4 for the second slot and an A4 processor is also far too slow to take any advantage of a CF setup anyway.

[VIA Series] PT880 Overclocking Issue

Well i can't Overclock as high as i thought i could i can overclock to 3.6 but thats nearly stable any higher then i have to reboot i was thinking of a bios degrade from 1.9 - 1.7 i herad 1.7 unlocks multiplyers so im thinking that that could help my overclocking issue and plus on top of that i can't raise my CPU V Core only my DDR and AGP south Bridge and North Bridge and thats it i found out that overclocking on Factory settings got me a higher overclock and putting the divder and 6/5 166Mhz. Any Ideas on higher overclocking i have a Nice cooler Thermal Take Spark 7+ maybe artic silver 5 would help and well heres my specs-
Intel Pentium 4 3.2E Prescott

GeForce 4 MX 420 64 Meg (4X)
60 Gigabyte Maxtor Sata
and alot of case fans

Hi,
The Prescott is dynamic voltage, therefore you cannot "SET" volltage.
If you are going to "play" with North and South Bridge voltages..........get a heatsink for south bridge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overclocking issues with Neo2 Platinum

hiya nocturnal
1st in Integrated Peripherals / IDE Function Setup....disable sata1/sata2 dma transfer and enable sata3/sata4 dma transfer...sata 3 is top on left side of board one closest to cpu.
2nd ... Cell Menu / DRAM configuration is where you set memory timing 1T/2T
3rd...Cell Menu / AGP Frequency ..set it to 67
just My 2 cents but why don't you take Everything back to stock (cpu & vid card) , Do the above and see if it will boot. the biggest problem you have (my opinion) is your memory...you do not state if it is pc3200/400 ...if it is go 200 Max Memclock (step 2, 1st option)
set the CAS settings to stock..see if you can boot to windows, then and only then go Play as in see what your sandie will do with that memory..Leave your vid card stock until you get a stable windows enviorment...also if you do shift F2 ..alt F3 it opens up other settings within our bios
I believe you will be upgrading your memory real soon if ya got the o/c bug
Hope this helps
ps...by the way what type of power supply do you have ?

Z68a-GD55 Overclocking issues (OC settings not working on reboot)

Hi all;
Quick synopsis of my issue - Z68A-GD55 board, I5-2500k chip; overclocking the CPU to 4.2 Ghz, bios version .50 according to Live Update 5 scans. Whenever I reboot my machine, the CPU returns to default settings (Intel quick boost, chip running at 16x multiplier idle, 33x under load instead of 42x constantly). I don't know why the overclocking settings won't affect my machine after reboot. I've tried updating the bios to .60 via Live Update, but it doesn't seem to take. When I look in the BIOS settings, it still looks like my OC settings are there, but the CPU still only runs at 33x. Any hints / help?

Sorry about that; let me try again.

This is what I've tried so far for overclocking settings :
1) Set the multiplier to something close to the base setting; say x38. No Voltage changes. Boot into windows, stress test with prime 95; everything looks ok. Reboot the machine, and the system acts as if the multiplier is still x33, even though the BIOS reads x38.
2) Using the OC Genie to test; this sets the multiplier to x42, CPU Voltage to 1.350 (and a few other settings I don't have access to at work, at the moment). Boots fine into windows, passes prime 95 tests; I've played BF3 for hours at this setting. I reboot, system runs as if the BIOS were back at default.

Hello all,
I have this weird issue with cold booting while overclocking. I've tried very hard to diagnose the problem but have been unable to find the culprit.
So I'm using an i5-2500k with the mobo in the subject. I have flashed the BIOS to the latest (2.4). So everytime I try to overclock by using a different multi (it can be as subtle has x34) the system will fail the overclock while cold booting. What I mean by that is if I do the overclock from the bios then save&reboot it will load in windows and be totally stable under IBT. I can achieve any kind of overclock up to 4.7 Ghz and it will be totally stable.
BUT, as soon as I do a shutdown of the system, upon booting (cold boot), the computer will try to boot but fail at it. I'll be prompted by the bios to reload default.
I've tried various combinaisons to no avail. I even tried to underclock the processor to sub x33. I don't understand what could be wrong. It seems as soon as I switch to anything else then auto on the ratio, it won't boot from shutdown. Weird.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Overclocking issue with a Z68A-G43 MB and 4*2 GB DDR3 Gskill memory kits

Hi,
On my old MB, I overclocked my I5 2500k CPU to 4.2 Ghz , It was running with 4*2GB DDR3 modules and everything was stable since several months.
I use the same components on my new Z68A-G43 MB but I don't manage to start my PC in the same conditions.
The PC runs well in normal mode (not OC ) with the 4x2GB DDR3 modules
The PC runs well when overclocked to 4.2 Ghz (and it is very stable) with 2*2 GB GSkill DDR3 (1600 MHz CAS 7, reference - F3-12800CL7 2GBECO) modules placed in DIMM 1 & 3
But, when overclocked, the PC refuses to boot with 4*2GB DDR3 modules, after adding 2x2 GB GSkill DDR3 (1600 MHz CAS 8 , F3- reference - 12800CL8 2GBRM ) modules placed in DIMM 2 & 4
Same problem with 2x2 GB KINGSTON DDR3 (1600 MHz CAS 9, reference 99005403 - 125.A01LF ) modules placed in DIMM 2 & 4
I tried the most of the recommended settings in the overclocking forum: OC genie enabled or not , XMP enabled or not , timings manually set according to information given by CPUZ , decreasing the frequency of the DDR3 to 1333 Mhz...
In summary, my PC refuses to boot due to a memory issue (3 beeps at launch) when I put 4*2GB of DDR3 with a 4.2 Ghz OC (whereas it was running fine for months on my old motherboard P67A- GD65 ).
The PC runs fine with 4*2GB of DDR3 without OC or with only 2*2GB of DDR3 with a 4.2 Ghz OC.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem ?
thank you for your advice

Yes. Get a factory matched and tested together RAM kit. Corsair work well on this series mainboard. That or try to increase the DRAM V. to 1.65v's, loosen the timings for all sticks to 9 9 9 24, CR 2. Good luck!

K8N Neo and SATA overclocking issues?

I'm thinking of getting some SATA Adapters for my PATA drives to help improve airflow in my K8N Neo Platinum.
I do have a few questions though.
I've been reading some threads about various issues regarding SATA like corruption of data when overclocking FSB.
I'm currently running 245 FSB 1:1 with the 1.42b2 BIOS.
First of all, will the SATA adpaters slow down my drives?
Will I experience any corruption or any other issues with using SATA (and adapters) with my drives?
Thx for sharing.

Don't bother doing what you are thinking...
as for SATA, it has the ability to be faster than IDE, but because of the drivers it doesn't have a speed advantage so much right now. The only SATA drives I would get would be raptors, which I have one...otherwise I would go IDE

MSI x975 Overclocking issues

I have the x975 board and a 6400 conroe. I have been trying unsucessfully to reach a stable overclock of at least 400fsb (3.2ghz). I will list my system so that somebody hopefully can help:
MSI x975 Power up Ediition
Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 2.13ghz
OCZ OCZ2P8002GK 4-5-4-15 2x1gb DDR2 800
2 Seagate 7200.10 250gb in RAID 0 (intel matrix controller)
EVGA 7900GT
NEC DVDRW on the Second IDE port
LITEON CDRW and Seagate 250gb hard drive on the first IDE port
I have a Thermaltake bigwater system cooling the processor and the northbridge, so heat isn't an issue. This is all in the awesome gigabyte case that is built for water cooling. So I have tried all the different combinations of setting that I have read in this forum and the extreme systems forum. The highest stable overclock I have been able to achieve is 350fsb (2.8ghz). That is with c2e1 disabled, spread spectrum disabled, auto detect pci clock disabled, CPU voltage is at the default level (it doesn't seem to matter how high I take it even up to 1.5v doesn't help stability), RAM is at 2.2v which is the recommended voltage (I've had it up to 2.3v no better stability), PCIE voltage is defualt (have increased it, make the northbridge so hot it would burn you before I watercooled it), PCIE 100mhz (I've tried 110 like everybody said, didn't help). I am using the onboard audio, somebody said to disable it, I will if it really makes a difference but I'm skeptical. Does anybody have any idea why I can't get any higher stable overclock? I mean the board will post at 400fsb, 410, but blue screen when its time to load windows. It really seems like to me its something to do with the SATA bus, like its really stressed. Any help will be appreaciated.

I really am not worried about the latency of the ram, as we all know the conroe doesn't really care. What I have found out is the the OCZ DDR800 isn't really compatible with our boards, but the OCZ DDR667 EL is. I believe the difference is the lower latency, the northbridge wants RAM that is capable of lower latency whether you run it at its recommended latency. I believe if we had an option for command rate 1t or 2t, then alot of our problems would be solved. I ordered the g.skill HZ 4-4-4-12 memory, so we will see if my theory holds true. I just don't want to hold my system back because it is throughing a fit over my RAM type. Since we don't have a multiplier less than 1:1 we can't lock our memory at a lower speed to test the FSB threshhold of our board and CPU. Damn board is doing the cold boot only thing to me as well as others, hope the next bios revision helps, otherwise I might have to go over to the darkside gigabyte or asus.
