Advice on memory please..... [P55-GD65]

Hi,
Something went terrible wrong last saturday.  Installed a new P55-GD65/I7-860, everything went fine until flashing new BIOS (v1.2 > 1.4) with MFlash (I know now, after visiting this forum, I shouldn't have done that). Motherboard seems dead now. (no video-output, tried CMOS-reset, 1 stick of mem, other Videocard, but no sign of life except some leds above the mem burning; fans and so on also working)
Maybe I'll send it back to MSI-support here in Holland to reflash it, but I already ordered a new GD-65.  Just wandering around this forum I understand there's also a lot of hassle about memory. I'm using this: Kingston KHX1600C9D3K2/2G   2GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECCCL9 (Kit of 2)    9-9-9-27   1.7-1.9V and a pair of 4G (2x 2G) of the same kind. Will this give troubles? If not, what's the best advice on V(oltages), 2T/1T, and that kind of stuff? Oh, basically no intention to overclock.......
TIA
(Rest of stuff: PSU: CoolerMaster RealPower650 GPU: Radeon 3870/512, system(CPU/GPU) = watercooled)

1.7v to 1.9v is too high for the RAMs. I would suggest that you set to 1.6v max in BIOS for your RAMs.
I've tried to do that but cant find the way to access manual  any cpu or memory voltage  ..its always disable..
bios version 1.5
how to do that?

  • P55-GD65 memory problem - 1066 detected instead of 1333

    Hi everyone,
    Got an issue I thought I'd ask your advice on regarding my new build.  There appears to be an issue with either memory slot 3 or 4 on my new motherboard.  I can run 4GB RAM i.e. slots 1 & 3 with no issues but if I install all 8GB and attempt to install any application, I get a BSOD and the PC reboots.  I have tested all the memory separately i.e. 4GB at a time and can find no issues but when I test all 8GB, errors are reported in Memtest86 which points to a problem with the aforementioned memory slots.  I have also tested the CPU using Prime95 and this was completed with no errors. 
    Furthermore, the memory I bought was ordered specifically because it is supposed to be Core i5 compatible: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-183-OC
    However, it is only being detected at 1066mhz, instead of 1333mhz as it's supposed to be.  I'm not sure if the 2 issues are related but as you can imagine, it's very frustrating to have new computer equipment that doesn't work properly.
    Thanks for your help :-)

    I have already logged an RMA with Overclockers to get the board replaced but has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

    Here are the images as requested.  My memory is now running at 1333MHz though I have had to manually change this in the DRAM Timing Mode and Advanced DRAM Config menus to change the timing etc.  I have seen a similar thread in this forum with the same issue, and again using OCZ memory, though theirs is 1600MHz running at 1066MHz like mine.  Could this be a problem with OCZ DDR3 dual channel memory?  The kit I purchased was supposed to Core I5 compatible...

  • P55-GD65 registers only half of memory (now won't even boot)

    Hi
    i have big problem with deployment of new system. Specs :
    MSI P55-GD65
    Patriot Sector 5 PGV34G1600ELK 2X2GB
    Intel i7 860
    CHIEFTEC 500W
    NV 7900 gs (connected for diagnostic reasons)
    First, BIOS recognized only half amount of RAM (2gb from 4gb)
    -updated BIOS to 1.5 - nothing changed
    -cleared CMOS and restored defaults - nothing changed
    Second, i tried to instal win7/win2008r2 - freezes after installation booting progress bar disappears (tried to boot from USB key and from network deployment server)
    Then, i tried to install win2003 - success! but system works unstable (eg once frozen at cinebench multicore test, once BSOD while booting etc)
    CPU-Z recognized properly amount of installed RAM (and said that dual channel is disabled), but system still says that is only 2 gigs of ram.
    Then, i found on this board that CPU bented pins could cause the problem, so i checked pins, and they seems to look fine (Hi res photo of pins)
    After i mounted CPU back, the system event won't boot - all six CPU phase diods on main board are active, fans turns on, but boot process won't start.
    Anyone know is there any way to fix it? (before i give back everything to vendor)

    i just bought my MSI P55-GD80 yesterday. i just hope i wont be getting the same issue as some other guys do.
    im planning on building my new rig tomorrow because i dont have my memory cards and video card yet(might get these items tomorrow).
    so yeah, i will be checking the CPU seating. will try to seat it once then remove it for the pin contacts checking. and i hope too that the mobo i got has at least the 1.4 BIOS version, because to tell the truth i never done any BIOS flashing before(actually ive done it once with my XPS 630i rig and it went easy for me to do. i dont know whats the procedure for the MSI boards so no idea at all). and to tell the truth, this is my first time building my own rig so im a bit excited and i prioritize durability(long lasting) and always hoping not to get any problem building my very own rig for the first time.
    **so here is my question :
    how will i know if the CPU pad doesnt have a good contact with the socket pins?
    what should i do if after checking i find out that my CPU pad doesnt have a good contact with the socket pins?
    what if after checking i find out my CPU doesnt have good contact with the socket pins but with my GD80 reading 4gb of my memory cards?
    if you wanna know where i got my board, i bought it here in japan from a known computer parts retailer. and yes im living here for now and its really hard for me to return my product if its faulty because, first im not that good at speaking japanese language, and second they might have different procedure for returning products that i might not know.
    thanks in advance, will appreciate any help and reply,
    Skaahr
    ***edited : i just checked the sticker from my mobo which i read from the other topic that tells it shows the BIOS version in your mobo, the tiny green sticker shows me this " IMS140 " does it means i have the 1.4 BIOS version?

  • P55-gd65 memory

    Hello,
    I have a msi p55 gd65 i5 board and want to buy kingston KHX1333C7D3K2/4G memory. Does anybody know of this will work well?

    Quote from: ZSDE on 13-January-10, 01:27:16
    Further Edit: On the Kingston site it states: HyperX DDR3* features: 1.7v - 1.95v voltage range for dual-channel applications for AMD based systems and Intel chipsets older than X58. So, yes, that mem is meant for AMD boards.
    That fits AMD board but also "X" suffix designates XMP ready for Intel Core i5 7xx and Core i7 8xxx series processors and systems   
    "Each module kit has been tested to run at DDR3-1333MHz at a low latency timing of 7-7-7-20 at 1.7V.
    The SPDs are programmed to JEDEC standard latency DDR3-1333MHz timing of 9-9-9 at 1.5V"

  • Recommended memory settings in P55-GD65 BIOS

    Hi All,
    I was having all kind of BSOD problems with OCZ (OCZ3G1333LV4GK) memory on the P55-GD65 motherboard.
    All problems seems to be solved by manually setting the DRAM voltage to 1.65v in the BIOS.
    The rest of the settings is still on auto. Will it be good to manually adjust these also, for performance and a stability?
    If so, what settings I have to make?

    Thanks for the reply.
    The BIOS shows the modules are running at 1333.
    The Weird thing is I had many BSOD problems before I changed the voltage and on SevenForums I was advised to run Run Memtest86+.
    I runned Memtest86+ run a few times for over 8 hours and it showed no errors at all.
    I will make the screenshots asap when I get home tonoght. Below are my system specs:

  • P55 GD65 - Advice

    When I first installed new system, everything was running fine. Enabled XMP in bios and memory was running stable at proper timings and voltage.
    Unrelated to the memory, I was having problems with the nvlddmkm error, where the screen goes black for a second followed by the message “nvlddmkm.sys has recovered from an error”. Somehow I was able to get rid of that problem but it was replaced by the same symptom, being caused by a services.exe login.
    Anyway both of these events cause the video card memory controller load to spike to 100% and stay there until the system is restarted. Video card people said to update bios and see what happens.
    So, after updating bios, (from 1.2 to 1.7) system is fine at auto settings (9-9-9-24-2t). If I enable XMP, I get two or three restarts…system stays on, but no video.
    I’m just an old guy doing cadd work,  looking for a stable system.
    Anyone know what version bios for this board allows XMP to work?
    If anyone has any suggestions on the nvlddmkm or services.exe login I will take those too.
    Thanks

    You could try to raise the CPU VTT voltage a little.

  • MSI P55 GD65 registers only 4gb of memory.

    To start off here's my system:
    CPU: Intel i5 750
    Motherboard: MSI P55 GD65
    Ram: 4x 2gb G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3 1600 dual channel memory (8gb total)
    Video card: nvidia 9600gt 512mb (temp till new AMD cards)
    The bios boot screen states 4gb of DDR3 1333 ram.  Going into bios, it does recognize that 4x2gb sticks are in the system, but still states only 4gb of  ram available.  Booting into Win7 64-bit, the Performance and Information screen states 8gb (3.99gb usable).  Task manager/resource monitor also show only 4gb total.  Essentially, the system knows there's 8gb but will only use 4gb.
    I've been told to check for a memory remapping option in the bios, but I've seen no such option so far. 
    Link to hardocp thread on the same subject: http://hardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1452669

    I have just recently experienced this problem. I built my machine about 3 weeks ago and everything was working great, booted first try and no errors in memtest+ or LinX or Prime95. I have been running just fine since then. I have MSI P55-GD65, Core i5 750, DDR3 2x2GB GSkill Trident 2000MHz RAM.
    This past weekend I decided to mildly overclock, I upped the bclk to 160 and adjusted the DIMM voltage to 1.6 according to the RAM spec. I tested and tested this config and everything seemed stable. I have been using the machine to play games and things with no problems.
    I go to resume from hibernate this morning and the machine hangs. I restart and I notice BIOS is only showing 2GB during POST. I check out the BIOS settings and it sees the 2 DIMMS, but still only shows 2GB. I boot into Windows 7 x64 and it shows 4GB (2GB Useable). Previously all 4GB were recognized and useable just fine. This may be relevant, I don't know, but I started a long video transcoding job before bed last night. Presumably this job finished and the machine went into hibernate.
    I reset all settings back to default, thinking maybe my overclock wasn't as stable as I thought, but no change. Even before I reset the clocks, I tried upping the DIMM voltage, the VTT voltage, reducing RAM frequency. Nothing.
    I figure maybe I need to upgrade the BIOS, as I am currently running v1.5 and latest is 1.8. I download the 1.8 image to a flash drive and try to use M-Flash to boot the BIOS image off the drive, but BIOS hangs with a repeating BEEP when I try that.
    Then I noticed something very odd. When I boot up with the flash drive plugged into a USB port, BIOS reports 4GB on POST. Without the drive, 2GB on POST.
    As an absolute last resort I will reseat the CPU, but after the flash drive behaviour, I am not sure it is a CPU pin-contact issue. When I get home from work I am going to flash to v1.8 BIOS and see if that helps. If not, I will reseat all DIMMS and try that. If the problem persists, I will try DIMMS individually and in different sockets and see.
    Is there anything else I should try before reseating the CPU? What if I just wiggle the heatsink? If it all possible, I would like to avoid having to clean up the TIM and reapply, it was a big pain on my heatsink.
    Thanks,

    Hi Guys,
    I recently bought a new PC with a P55-GD65 motherboard and Im getting a lot of blue screens.
    I started a topic on SevenForums and attached all dump files but it seems the problem is hard to pin down.
    The topic and dump files can be found here: http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/48197-please-help-bsod-new-windows-7-x64-pc.html
    Im using the latest BIOS (1.5), Im running Windows 7 x64 Home Premium with latest updates and Im using the latest MSI drivers for the Motherboard.
    The only software installed is:
    - Eve Online client
    - Steam and Modern Warfare 2
    - Teamspeak RC2
    - MS Security Essentials
    - PC Angel (revovery software)
    On SevenForums I was advised to check my harddrives, I runned HD Tune and my drives showed no errors.
    I was also advised to run memtest, Im running it for over 4.5 hours now without any errors.
    I realy dont know what I can do anymore. Do you guys have any advise what else I can try?
    I have changed nothing in the BIOS itself and Im not overclocking the system.
    Should I manually adjust some settings maybe?

  • P55-GD65 Problem Freezes / Shuts Down unexpextedly

    Hi all,
    I've recently received a replacement P55-GD65 part for my pc upgrade. The first mobo was broken but I'm not sure wether the current one is any better.
    I have a freezing problem with my set up. After I power up it goes to post and lauches windows. However, within 5 to 10 minutes the system just shuts down on its own. Sometimes this happens already in BIOS when I've been looking around for a solution for some time.
    After power down pressing the power button doesn't help. I have to disconnect power cord from PSU and wait a bit before reconnecting for the power button to work again.
    I've been reading other posts and people have the similar problems, but none of the solutions have resolved my problem.
    I've tried putting OC genie on - no solution.
    I've tried using only 1 memory - no solution. and yes I've taken the memories out and reincerted them.
    I've tried setting BIOS to optimized defaults - no solution.
    I've tried setting memory speed down from Geil automatic 1333MHz to 1060MHz - no solution.
    I've tried setting memory voltage up from Geil automatic 1,5V to 1,6V - no solution.
    I've tried taking CPU out and replaced it in the socket - no solution.
    I've updated Intel drivers from MSI website.
    I've updated other drivers from the CD that came with the mobo.
    BIOS version is 1.3
    There has been a lot of discussion about corsair memory modules but none about the GEIL ones I have. Has anyone experience with the memory I have? According to MSI website P55-GD65 is tested with a dual setup of 2g Geil memory that I have, and should be ok.
    Can anyone lend a hand so that I can get my pc running. This has by far been the most troublesome upgrade for me.
    Thanks for replies!

    To me it looks like not a single one of you has bothered to up date BIOS which has over time had numerous memory compatibility fixes.
     Update BIOS, get Crucial RAM.

    I am not able to update the bios because my pc would crash before allowing me to. I asked MSI to update the BIOS before sending the board to me.

  • MSI P55 GD65 Booting issue [SOLVED]

    Hello everyone!
    I finished a new build two days ago:
    Intel i5-750, 2.66GHz
    MSI P55-GD65, rev. 1.0, BIOS 1.3, Lotes socket
    A-DATA 2x2GB DDR3 1600Mhz CL8 Vitesta Extreme Edition
    GIGABYTE ATi R5850 1GB
    KINGSTON V-series SSD 64GB SATA
    SAMSUNG SpinPoint F3 500GB SATA 7200rpm
    Artic Cooling Fusion 550, 550W, dc outputs are mentioned below
    and some minor components (optical drives, wifi card etc.)
    I started the computer and everything seemed fine. I managed to enter the bios. I was checking H/W monitor and several other options, I didn't change anything. Suddenly (after circa 5mins) the computer shut down and started to turning on and off repeatedly. I stopped the loop by turning off the power supply. I started it again, however it got stuck in the loop imediately. After a while I managed to access the bios again, meanwhile I was trying to find some answers on internet.
    I decided to remove all memory sticks (as a lot of topics here in forum which are describing the very same problem sign RAM problem) and started computer. I expected beeps and LED-show. However, the computer didn't start at all! Even fans were not spinning, just nothing (although PSU was giving tension). I put RAM back and computer started. It was like black magic. I tried again, remove RAM - no start, put RAM back - no start too. Mobo went definitely dead. So I RMAed it.
    I've obtained a new one, which was:
    MSI P55-GD65, rev. 1.0, BIOS 1.2, Foxconn socket
    I put all the stuff together and started computer. Everything went fine, I managed to enter the bios. Nevertheless, I decided to check RAMs for sure; I changed booting devices, restarted and booted system rescue cd with some utils. I started memcheck basic test. The basic test was fine with no errors, then I started filling with random pattern test. It ran for almost 24h. I wanted to try another exercise test and... computer shut down and the loop was there once AGAIN!
    I don't think the mobo is the issue here anymore. I bet on two things: PSU or RAM (I'm not going to think about CPU!)
    I don't recall exact dc ouputs but: AC Fusion has 2 12V rails with 17A each. Mobo needs 18A, but as I understand it, I have to check 2 rails combined against the requirement - 34A > 18A, it's okay, isn't it? I've choosen this one as I wanted silent PSU (it performed really good in tests, f.e.: http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3516). I don't have any other similar PSU to swap (neither my friends).
    My suspicion is the problem is RAM incompatibility. My RAMs (AD31600E002GU2K) have 1.65-1.8V working voltage. Maybe the mobo sets auto settings badly (I'm not present at my computer now, I left for the weekend); they are not in QVL too (http://eu.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1846.pdf). The problem is I was not able to get into bios before I left. As I read on the internet, P55 is pretty touchy when it comes to RAM. I'm thinking about swapping them for Kingston 2x2GB 1333MHz DDR3 CL7 (http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX1333C7D3K2_4GX.pdf; which are not in QVL either, but KHX1333C8D3K2_4GX are; only latency difference).
    Any advices on the whole problem?
    P.S.: I've tried CMOS clear on the former one too, no change. As I mention I went through the most of the gd65 booting issues posts here on MSI forum and several others.

    Do you think Corsair VX550 550W could do the job? It has a single rail with 41A on 12V. ATi certified Straightpower BQT E6-550W for 5850, which has 4 rails per 18A, but overall 41A too (http://www.be-quiet.net/be-quiet.net/data/media/_stories/216/sp_e6_550_EN.pdf).

  • Cold startup windows 7 hang p55 gd65 2133MHz RAM

    Hey guys,
    Looking for some advice here,
    Basically i can't get my RAM to work properly anywhere near rated speed. I have it in an overclocked i5 setup @ 3.7GHz with 185 bclk (p55 gd65 v1.0 BIOS)
    Hence my memory options are 1110MHz, 1480MHz or 1850MHz depending on the multiplier.
    To get the correct timings i loaded the XMP and then went to manual timings and subsequently disabled the XMP so it is running at rated 9-9-9-28, every one of the above timings should be well within specification. I have the memory @ 1.65v also.
    At 1110MHz everything is fine.
    When i up it to 1480 or 1850 i get a 'cold startup bug' for lack of a better name. i.e. windows will load and then hang, generally with a blank greeny-blue screen. if i restart the machine, it runs fine from then on.  If the machine is restarted again it is fine, its only after it has been off for a significant period that i get this hang. After a restart ive prime blend tested for 15hrs without a hitch @ 1850MHz.
    As everything is totally stable after this first failed load, it doesnt seem like anything is faulty per se, but just something isnt being detected correctly at this first attempt which is making me think it could be BIOS related.  I have a release day board with v1.0 and im considering m-flashing to the latest v1.5.  In v1.4 notes it states "Improved memory compatibility", could that be where my solution lies.  I fully understand the risks associated with BIOS flashing so i wanted i few opinions on the problem if at all possible before i do something i could regret.....
    Cheers for any help you guys can provide!

  • P55-GD65 bsod(es)

    just built the following:
    P55-GD65
    intel i5
    OCZ3G10664GK (1066 cl7 2x2gb) @ 1.6v
    2x 4870
    ABT-730MM 730W RT (certified 730w psu)
    that's all of the important stuff.
    After a week of trying to figure these problems out and giving up. I've deiced to come to you guys.
    memtest fails. vista's memory test fails. occt's cpu/memory test fails. hyper pi fails. the system blue screens about every 30m.
    This is in vista home x64 and in 7 business x64. Data get corupted. If i copy a file or download a file, it will not run.
    the only way to fix this is to turn off turbo boost AND run my memory at 800 instead of 1066.
    i have access to another system using the "GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD6" and both the chip and the ram work with turbo and at rated speeds without issue.
    browsing the forums on tomshardware and on anandtech several others are having these same issues. everyone says the 1.4 bios will fix it.
    My options until that is released?

    Please post screenshots of the CPU-Z "SPD" and "Memory" views.
