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!
Dave

  • P55-GD65 - Available RAM Suddently Changed

    Sorry for double posting this, but I figure I shouldn't have hijacked the thread I originally posted this in.
    My problem can best be described as a sudden unexpected change in the available RAM. I have 2x2GB sticks that had previously been recognized at 4GB available, but this morning my machine will only POST with 2GB available. Both sticks are recognized and I can view SPD info, but during POST, only 2GB is reported.
    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 slots and see. I will also try a CMOS clear, before and after the BIOS update.
    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,

    Have been monitoring very closely and the issue has not cropped up again.
    I have been running everything at stock since the incident. As I am really not sure what caused the problem, I am a little hesitant to overclock again. Though I do want to get more performance from my RAM and CPU as they can both be increased by a fair amount.
    I have also disabled hibernation in Windows 7, as the issue occurred at some point while the machine was in hibernation state. It went into hibernation with 4GB and woke up with only 2GB. I realize this does not mean hibernation caused the problem, but could have played a factor.
    I think I will slowly restore settings back to how had them before the problem occurred and I will be sure to test more thoroughly this time.
    Thanks for help and advice

  • MSI P55-GD65 Freezing and BSOD Problem?

    Hello I got a weird problem with my new PC, I bought some new components to my PC (I5 750, MSI P55 GD65, 2x2GB RAM DDR3 Corsair TW3XG1333C9DHX), Well the problem is that I'm getting freezing issues everytime (Sometime just surfing on internet, other times doing nothing at all) and sometimes BSOD. I check even log and all it said is "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
    Also, I tried to reinstall Win 7 but it froze on installation, I installed it on my third try.
    I ran Memtest86 with no errors, I check the temp on CPU, GPU, HD and they were normal.
    What could be the problem?
    Thanks for the help, I really need it :(

    If u mean how the voltage is set on those thing there it is:
    High vdrop----------------------------Low vdrop
    vcore - Auto (1.22500v)---------------1.30
    vtt - Auto (1.097v)--------------------1.22
    dram voltage- 1.600v-------------------1.65
    pll -Auto (1.800v)-----------------------1.85
    pch - Auto (1.050v)----------------------1.10
    Change those voltages to the onee's on the right.  Change your memory back to 1t, use the lower qpi setting, and 5x memory multiplyer.  I really believe its because your using a incorrect memory multiplyer.  With these voltages and a good cpu cooler you can run blk up to 180.  Let me know what happens.
    It's safe to do all this change?

  • MSI P55 GD65 - BSOD - MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

    I'm facing a weird issue with my pc:
    If I turn on the PC, the system starts up fine, but within 30 secs up to 5 minutes I get a BSOD (usually MEMORY_MANAGEMENT).
    If I then restart the system it will run fine..
    CPU intensive gaming, memory checks, benchmarks, standby and wakeup, all runs fine... after a first BSOD.
    I've tried all kinds of memory settings, but nothing seems to help. Also hard to test if it runs fine after a crash.
    It's almost like the system needs to warm-up a bit and then it will run fine 
    The BSOD message indicates a memory issue, but then I would expect random BSOD, not only right after cold start.
    Any suggestions?

    Status update:
    I've reset the bios to safe defaults.
    Started up memtest86+ and screen turned red rather then blue, so lots of mem-errors.
    Restarted and then memtest ran fine for more then 10 hours.
    Passed 20 times all tests no errors with both Dimms inserted.
    Then I tested cold start with 1 dimm only:
    - with 1 DIMM in slot 3 only system cold-starts fine and memtest runs fine with no errors.
    - with 1 DIMM in slot 1 only system cold-starts fine and memtest starts up but then doesn't even start a test. So it seems to be hanging already.
    Swapping both dimms showed the same result.
    Preliminary conclusion now is a faulty slot 1 
    Does it indeed sound like a slot 1 issue?
    MB is the worst part to RMA, so hopefully I can find a solution.... slot 1 seems not to be completely broken after all.
    PS: increasing to 1.6V I had already tried before without success.

When i built this new rig, i installed the same HDD with it but wt i now face is that my win7 doesn't boot. Soon after windows 7's logo appears, the system reboots after a short blue screen. On reboot win7 asks for a startup repair . . . when i go for it, it fails to repair. I get the following thing in error;
    Problem event name: StartupRepairOffline

    Can anybody help me here. I really don't want to go for a fresh installation.
    Regards,

    P.S
    My XP 64bit works pretty fine wid it although some drivers for "SM BUS Controller" and "Base System Cannot" can't be found.. The problem is only wid win7.

    Quote
    will give a try to install msi drivers using my old system and then connecting the HDD back to this new rig.... Hope it will work...!!!!
    That activity is pointless.  You cannot install drivers for stuff that is not there on your old system.
    Please do yourself a favour and stop dancing around this whole problem (which seems like a pseudo-problem to me).  Putting on a fresh installation of the operating system is the first thing that should be done on a new system configuration.  Even if you manage to get stuff working without reinstalling, you are working with a potential driver mess and a confused Windows Registry that may throw problems at you that you may currently not be an issue.

  • P55-GD65 and Acrylux Wireless

    I currently having trouble with a P55-GD65 and Acrylux Wireless KB009W-B keyboard with a particular port. I sent the keyboard for RMA already and I have a replacement. Before the keyboard RMA, I would have random shut down and sleep with this particular port along with intermittent connectivity. Now, I have repeated looped keystrokes and disconnects issues.
    It's this port:
    I'll try using another a port but what is different with this one? Underpowered?
    BIOS 1.8
    Windows 7 Pro x64
    Drivers are current

     Bad port, if you don't really need it it's probably not worth the cost for RMA shipping. Simply block it off with a piece of tape and let it be. Choice is yours whether to RMA or let it be. Could simply be what is called a 'cold solder joint' where the port terminals attach to MB.

  • P55-GD65 BSOD With onboard audio enabled

    Hello all,
    I bought a new computer with a P55-GD65 motherboard 2 weeks ago and Im getting a random blue screen when the onboard audio is enabled in the BIOS.
    Im using the latest BIOS version mainboard drivers. Im running a legal version of Windows 7 home premium and installed all updates.
    The blue screen appears in all situations, browsing the internet, playing a game, even when the machine is just turned on and im not working on it.
    Here parts of the latest dump files:
    1. string:SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
    bug check code: 0x0000003b
    caused by driver: win32k.sys
    2. string: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
    bug check code: 0x0000001e
    caused by driver: ntoskrnl.exe
    II did search a lot for this errors and found no relationship with onboard audio, the weird thing is the BSOD are only happening when onboard audio is enabled on my system.
    Any idea how to fix this, it would be great because the onboard audiocard is working alright with games and teamspeak. I have tried a X-FI Titanium card of Creative that was not working.
    Hope someione can help.

    I am not overclocking the system, the BIOS has default values with onboard audio disabled at the moment.
    Now once again the problem:
    If I enable the onboard audio controller the systems crashed with a blue screen. Somethimes it takes an hour, somethimes it crashed within 2 minutes after booting.
    It doesnt matter what Im doing, even when I just startup the machine and aint using it because Im making some cofee its stuck at a blue screen when I come back.
    If I disable the onboard audio controller It does not crash, I can leave the system on all day without a problem.
    Hope someone can help.

  • 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.

    35 seconds after that to Windows boot
    Is there any setting I can tweak to speed this up?
    I had hoped this rig would be faster than the GA-7DXR+Athlon

  • [WTA] MSI P55-GD65 6 phase on all the time? Where's APS?

    Hello, First Post here..
    I bought a MSI P55-GD65 lately and it runs spectacular and overclocks nicely. the newer BIOS 1.6 is noticably more stable when High VDroop is used than the BIOS 1.5, resulting in more power-efficient system of my own despite overclocking  .
    But nonetheless, i have some issues i would like to be answered:
    1. When I use BIOS 1.5, the core voltage would be dropped to 0.896 (CPU-Z) when i set the core voltage as auto and all the power saving features enabled (C1E & EIST Enabled, C6 state selected, Turbo Mode off). but when i flash into BIOS 1.6, the same setting does not result in decreased voltage, the core clock still slows down though like it used to be. Maybe the next revision of BIOS will fix it?
    2. I searched this forum about APS on P55-GD65, i have found that somebody here had testified that the BIOS 1.6 fixes the all-phase-working problem, as i was having the same problem too. Then i decided to flash to 1.6 too (which work flawlessly with your USB Flasher by the way, kudos  ). But the problem still persists. APS only works when i apply through Control Center. i wonder about APS statement of "will work regardless of operating system" is a true and automated one. And yeah, i have tried to clear CMOS and run it on nominal mode and still no changes from BIOS 1.5. The 6 phase LED is lit all the time unless i "apply" in Control Center.
    My Current system are:
    MSI P55-GD65 (Lotes ILM)
    I5 750
    HD 5770
    Silverstone Zeus 750Watt
    WDC Black 500GB
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Thanks for your attention. 

    Quote from: chrisjb on 19-January-10, 17:13:56
    you have to run the cpu at default settings so (133mhz X multiplier) the slight overclock of the cpu will disable power saving so all the phase leds will constantly be lit up.
    Have the multiplier running at 160 because of XPM 1600 memory blocks, and the board runs with 2/3 phases in normal mode.
    Are using BIOS 1.3 because of XPM problems with other versions.

  • P55-GD65 BSOD Issues, Help very much appreciated!

    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

    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!

    TheManitee, 1st you hijack this thread demanding help and you don't even have the same MB & other parts. Please start your own new topic instead of hijacking another persons.  >> Please read and comply with the Forum Rules <<     >> Posting Guide <<
    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.

  • Does MSI P55-GD65 support eSata hot-plug?

    I believe the title is self-explanatory, but I'll explain anyway..
    I have a MSI P55-GD65 motherboard which has an onboard eSata port. I have a second eSata port in the front plate of my case.. The thing is, that the only way for it to recognize my eSata external hard drive, is if the drive is connected and powered BEFORE I boot my PC. Not very convenient when it comes to portable devices. Is there anything I have to change in the BIOS or any drivers I should install (for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) so that I can power on and off my drive while my PC is working?

    Actually, I did some more digging after my post, I figured out how to do it (I tweaked the registry because I had installed Windows 7 with sata mode set to IDE), and now it works fine..
    There's only one issue. My external drive does not appear in the devices I can "safely remove". So I don't know how risky it is to just turn of my HDD while the PC is powered on..

  • Motherboar P55-GD65

    Hello,
    I have MB P55-GD65, i bought 2 HDD Segate Baracuda 1Tb, and i want to connect tham in Raid0. I change everyting in bios for that, appears screen there i must hit ctrl+i, i creat from this too disks 2 partitions one 50gb for windows and the rest off tham for data. I start the instalation, everything go ok, but after restart, when is "complyting instalation" appears message "Windows setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer`s hardware". I've tried all sorts of variations, but all times appears that message. There coudl be a problem, somting else must be changed in bios? It`s first time then i set up raid0, pls halpe me. Sorry for my bad english :(

    Occasionally it does with MP3's. But the large majority of the time it is some type of web content (youtube, a flash video, an apple trailer, etc) - it's only done it once so far in a game.
