Core Center Causing reboot!!!!

I seem to be having an issue with Core Center, every time I load it my system crashes. I have all the latest drivers installed, I even tried the Omega drivers for the video card. A little help from anyone trying the same setup would be greatly appreciated:help:

Tried the website download, no good ran the memtest and found 1 stick of bad Mushkin ram, RMA'ing that.
I guess this will be the second bad board, if I don't install Core center she runs and posts fine, but once I reboot after install I can get to the welcome screen then it dies with a stop error0x0000008e and lists rushtop.sys which I found is in the Core Center file.
Maybew someone can give me a better idea of what I did wrong, I think I'm wearing out my XP install disc.

Core Center causes crash with XP SP2

I've recently configured a non-admin account on my P4 XP Pro computer, and encountered a problem that is well described back in October of 2004, where core center causes the computer to crash. See this link for details . . .
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=65349.0
Given these problems, and nothing in that thread suggesting a resolution, I'm thinking of maybe just turning off Core center with Hijack This. Do I really need Core Center or something like it to safely operate? I'm not overclocking, and I have an extra fan in my case.

No you absolutely do not need CoreCenter at all.
CC is only meant for layman o/c'ing and this software does too many funny stances than what we could handle so try to get rid of it asap.

Core Center causing me issues - is this a viable alternative?

Hi - I have been using corecenter ONLY to adjust fan speed and to monitor core temperature. However, corecenter seems to be overriding my bios settings (I have set up the board for overclock in BIOS). An example of this is corecenter reducing the vcore to that which is set in the software rather than in bios - same goes for FSB.
So - I have installed MBM for monitoring temps and that is going fine. My question is, can I wire my CPU fan (Zalman 7700) straight in to my fan controller which has dials to control rpm? Is this ok to do or is it a crazy idea?
Cheers,
Dub

i tried it and everything is working fine. The motherboard can not see my CPU fan at all and is not shutting down.
I have cool n quiet disabled and am not using smart cpu fan target.

Core Center freezes after 15 seconds

I dont know if its MOBO related or if its Core Center thats the problem.
When I start Core Center its ok but if i leave it running for more than about 15 seconds, the entire pc freezes and i have to reboot.
Regrdless of weather it is in the sys tray or maximised.
This problem also happens with PC Alert 4 (which I see has now been removed from the MSI download site)
I am running Core Center v 1.7.2.0
any ideas ?
thanks
Bubba

I haven't used CoreCenter in a long time, but if I remember correctly there is an Auto button that will overclock the computer until it crashes.
You should try to configure a utility like SpeedFan instead. CoreCenter seems to cause problems for the vast majority of users. It's a piece of software that seems to be worth exactly what you paid for it.

Problems with Live Update 3 and Core Center

Hi All
I have just put together the system listed below. On the first boot-up screen "Live Update 2" is displayed on the top right of screen. I installed "Live Update 3" from the Drivers & Utilities CD supplied with the Mobo. On rebooting, the computer crashes straight after loading Windows. The problem occurs even after I downloaded the latest version.
I also installed Core Center from the same CD. This works fine until I try to switch user. It then comes up with the error "No Hardware Monitor Found" and crashes. The same thing happens after downloading the latest version.
What could be causing this?
Many thanks.

Upgrade BIOS and see what happens...

Cool-n-quit/core-center

in CnQ my cpu fan gives me an alarm above 3000 rpm's. Whatever I change in the setup, this won't stop. The fan speed alarm in set to 10.000
Temperature is just 36 degr for CPU and 37 for system
Any thoughts?

Hi everyone. As you can see I'm kind of a newb and I have some related questions. First off some background. I've done hardware installs, harddrive clean formats and swaps, etc. I was planning on building my own computer, but order one from cyberpowerinc.com. I haven't done a profile yet but will after this post so by the time you read this my system should be listed below. Anyway, in the BIOS I had cool and quiet disabled because in the manual it says to check serial numbers of chips before running it, and I didn't want to mess with pulling the heat sink , etc. to check my serial number. This morning while investigating a noise issue (high, varying frequency, buzz) I noticed in Core Center that it was related to CPU fan RPM (low RPM). I then found the program called speedfan, which allowed me to varify this, as Core Center wasn't real accurate. Using speed fan I was able to run the fan at 100% and got no buzzing. Below 70-80% I did though. I then found this thread and realized Core Center could do this (by clicking on Core Center) in another thread. So is the Cool and Quiet mode in Core Center the same as in the BIOS, because I thought if I disabled in the BIOS it would be disable, come to find out Core Center was running it (and causing the bad noise when the fan cycled to low RPM), it wasn't however slowing the CPU speed.
So basically, I hate the buzz at low fan speed, can I just run my fan at max through Core Center? Is there another program that will allow me to run a min fan speed, but cycle say from 100% to 80%? Is it even worth that cycling if only down to 80%? Should I just set it to max or 7/8 manually? Are the BIOS and Core Center Cool and Quiet settings related?
Any info you think will be useful to me, please let me have it. Thanks.

Core Center 2.0.0.7 problems?

Just updated to Core Center 2.0.0.7, but its causing problems. For some odd reason Core Center won’t release so the system can shut down when asked
to… Couldn’t find 2.0.0.6, but did find 2.0.0.4 and installed it, no more problems shutting down.... hummmm.

That's interesting,since the s3 sleep mode don't work on my system,it just locks up.
I don't know why,since at first it did work,however,it's not that important to me.
I do have installed back and forth the nvidia driver series for my mainboard to no avail.
So i can't say if i can produce the same error.

Error with Core Center when switching users

I can't seem to get this worked out...
When ever I switch user accouts I get 2 error messages then a restart. The 2 errors that I get are:
Core center failed to load hardware monitor
& no hardware monitor then an unvolintary reboot...
Any suggestions??

only run CoreCenter with one user. The error message you get is the "2nd" CoreCenter failed to load when you're in 2nd user account, the "1st" CoreCenter is still running.

Core center problem at startup

I recently installed a new soundcard (Audigy2ZS) and it's been causing problems with core center i guess? When ever windows starts up it says "Servive has not been started" followed by "No Hardware Monitors". But when I load Corecenter individually it's fine. Any ideas?

its a common software conflict ... to solve
run msconfig ... go to the startup tab .. disable the sbdrvdet ... (i think its called that) ... to stop it loading ... i believe its to do with firwire .. so not really required ... msi software should then run ok

Core Center alternative?

I'm getting tired of the error message "Failed to load hardware monitor driver!" in Core Center 1.6.1.0. I find that I have to manually load the program, and even then, I sometimes get the same error.
Does anyone know of a good alternative to Core Center 1.6.1.0? Ideally, I'd like a program that would dynamically display FSB and Multiplier because I use Cool & Quiet and I find such information interesting. Also, the program would display the temperatures, voltages, fan speed, etc. Thanks!

Ok I disabled the application, and it seems to work- thanks. Core center now loads without the error message.
I am curious though... what exactly did I disable? I'd hate to be without 5.1 channels when I'm playing Battlefield
Audigy 1 doesn't work with K8T Neo, and it seems Audigy2 software causes problems.... Does MSI have some kind of grudge against Creative?

Can P4N Diamond core-center allow auto shut down if cpu temp hits 70*C?

I read the Core-Center will allow temp-based warnings and shut down. Does that mean really it will shut itself down automatically if a tempo hits a certain level? this would be a great feature
thanks!

CoreCenter don't depend on it. Force shutdown PC is obsolete way, it cause you lose data, it's a idea. Forget about it. And forget about CoreCenter too. Let the Processor handle thermal itself.

Core center alarms

Not sure what's going on here. New PC and new to Opteron. I installed the core-center application (MSI said the Alert 4 wasn't supported on my motherboard) and when it starts it constantly alarms.
It's very hard to see what its complaining about, but the only thing that's a little strange is the RPM on the fans are all 0.
When I reboot and go into health status the fans are running and are set not disabled.
Anyone got any clue why corecenter might complain in this way?

The Master needs a differen Core-Center to start with, look at the Server/Workstation downloads.
If you have installed that special version and it still sounds the alarm, click on the right-red-arrow and move the sliders.
It's probably sounding the alarm because of a fan running too slow to be measured by corecenter.

K8t neo fis2r - core center not functional after installing sound card

Hi. I had been using Core Center with Dynamic Overclocking enabled and all was well. When idle, my amd64 3000+ (2.0ghz), was running at 800mhz. Under load it would go up to 2100mhz. But yesterday, I installed an Auzentech x-plosion sound card and after i installed the driver, the dynamic overclocking stopped working, my cpu is running at max all the time. (The variable fan speed function still works).
I checked the IRQ and there is no conflict, I uninstalled the amd64 driver and core center and reinstalled. Still does not work. I uninstalled the auzentech driver, rebooted, and cancelled new hardware wizard. Then the variable cpu frequency feature worked. Once I install the driver for the auzentech, dynamic oc stops working. I was thinking to try another pci slot but it appears to be a software issue rather than a hardware issue. The new version of Core Center does not work with my board even though msi says it's compatible so I'm still using the one that always worked. The amd driver is the latest and also always worked.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, perhaps using the auzentech sound card with this board and Core Center? Or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hey guys, I just went to AMDs site to get the dashboard utility mentioned and in the readme, it stated that in XP, the power option needs to be set to portable/laptop. But in the past, I read that it needed to be set to "always on" and that it is, in fact, what I had it set to before when cool n quiet was working. Now I change it to "portable/laptop" and it works and set to "always on" doesn't work anymore. So now Core Center reports I'm at 33c @800mhz at no load. I don't get it??? I'll have to try an alternate utility just to verify that is indeed working.
btw, QV, I checked system properties, (right-click my computer > properties, or "system" in control panel) and on the "general" tab, it indicates an AMD64 3000+, 2.0GHz. But I'm pretty certain the clock frequency is dropping now as reported by core center because of the decrease in the cpu temp at idle. Am I looking in the right place in XP? I have XP pro, SP2
Again, thanks for the input and Happy New Year

Dual Core Center doesn't work at all.

My mobo is P35Neo2-FR. Cpu is C2D E4600. I didn't overclocked it. WinXP professional 32BIT is installed.
.Net 2.0 is also installed.
From some time, I cannot launch Dual Core Center program. When I double-click the Dual Core Center icon,
There is nothing to be launched. I could not understand why the program suddenly didn't work.
Please let me know the solution to successfully launch Dure Core Center program.

yeah! my only experience with DCC is,... after it runs, it straight away turn on the siren, annoy the whole PC, and after 10 seconds, it shuts down my PC! That's the big annoyance already. The next time I reboot, I quickly terminate it from runnign longer, and straight away remove it from my PC. don't even bother to figure out where the alarm settings is.

Controlling fans with Core Center?

I feel such a fool, but I can't see any way of controlling fan speeds with MSI's Core Center?
The centre panel listss the CPU/NB temperature and fan speeds... if I click on the red arrow to the side of that, the extra panel that slides out simply gives me options on when the alarms should sound, based on either temperature or fan speed.
Am I meant to increase the fan speed by raising the minimum fan speed alarm threshold? Not only is that a daft way of doing it, but it doesn't seem to have any effect...?

Why isn't there a fan control for the NB Fan? The stupid thing runs at 7000rpm (according to CoreCenter) I need to control it coz not only it makes so much noise but it is also damaged making the noise 10 times louder and I have no time to RMA the board.
Please....I need to control it manually or I'm going to shut it down completely (ripping the freakin thing of the board).......
While I dunno about your mbrd, the NB fans on a couple of MSI mbrds I've played with are just not really speed controllable. With Speedfan, I can reduce the speed but below 90% or so, the fan starts to stall and then oscillates between nearly stopped and its max speed. I have mine, on a K8N Neo2 Plat set to max speed of 95% and min of 90%, which reduces the noise a touch.
If it's getting noisy and looking like failing, email MSI tech support and tell 'em it's failing and you're experiencing hangs and reboots. I had two mbrds I reported like this, which were behaving badly, and they sent me 3 new heatsink/fans. Those new fans run a bit slower, max of ~6Krpm, and are smoother running. If you do this, it's a good idea to register the mbrd with them and then in your email, give the serial no and your postal address. I had my new fans in a week or so, with no hassle or telephone calls at all.
